Lynchy's wagon

[lynchy wa]

ARB locker huh? I'd love one, but those bad boys are pricey. Should make for some fun times

I was looking at the true trac but with shipping I was saving just under $300, I really like the way my X hold's on the road so I thought instead of going the auto locker I'd save for a bit longer and go selectable. A bit later I'd like to lock the front and that was going to have to be a selectable locker (same reason as above only more so) and I'll just have to get the locker then and plug it into the existing compressor (when I can afford that!)

But should be a lot of fun and with my flex (WHAT FLEX! exactly!) Worst case is I will only have a 2wd on the bumpy stuff and when I've got 3 and 4 wheels on the ground she should be pretty hard to stop and that will get me 99% of the places I want to go also out of a few places I didn't

Carry on mate


Aye Aye Sir.

Yeah, I was looking at the tru trac lockers and the road manners, especially in the snow, turned me away from them. Now you need a lift and you will be set.

 

[lynchy wa]

Yep a lift would be great and I have a crazy plan of putting on king springs 2" lift all round + a pair of 1.5" spacer's I got for free from a mate JCUZ + moog upper ball joint's.
I'm not sure how it will go but I live in hope!!! I'm expecting a bit of settle in the spring's so she should be right.

 

[gmanpaint]

Very cool! I'm jealous you got the ARB, you dawg you! :

Any idea where the compressor is going to fit yet?

 

[lynchy wa]

F***! Good point. Any suggestion's?

 

[lynchy wa]

I've got enough room here mate, and that's about it I think:scratch: Custom bracket bent up should do it.

 

[Ronin8002]

I would put it in the back...maybe on top of the frame rail or just inside the frame rail near where the spare goes.

I don't know if you have a 3rd row but if you don't there's also that great little compartment you could use back there in the cargo area.

 

[gmanpaint]

Hopefully that area will work. If the coolant res gets in the way, I wonder if a different year / gen, would make more room? I'm not knowledgeable with your gen to know where would be a good place for it.

 

[lynchy wa]

Thank's for those idea's guy's, I'm going to have to do some investigating

 

[bcbid]

Don't let Joe.....

F***! Good point. Any suggestion's?

Yeah, Don't let Joe see that picture of your engine....lol

 

[BigRondo]

Yeah, Don't let Joe see that picture of your engine....lol

Now that is funny!!!

 

[Joe Dirt]

Good God Lynchy- clean your f'n engine. Could you care just a little bit?

 

[BigRondo]

Yeah, Don't let Joe see that picture of your engine....lol

You nailed it brother!!!

 

[bcbid]

 

[lynchy wa]

Too late! Aargh, I've been sprung!! I promise to think about cleaning the engine over the next 25 and a half day's (because after that I'll probably go back to not caring!)

Here's a quick mock up of the mudflap's on Uma. (dont tell her she's got mud flap's)

I used the trusty grinder with a cutting disc to trim and garden secatuers to cut a 2" x 5" section out of the left flap (just sound's wrong) to clear the exhaust.

I was also tempted to get just the black style and put the mudflap girl on them but sanity prevailed, goddamn it.

 

[BigRondo]

Nice piece of work Lynchy. So what you're saying is Uma has mud flaps. How's that working out for you? :

 

[Joe Dirt]

I like Uma's meat drapes!

 

[bcbid]

Thoses should work!

You need those stainless steel silhouette of a woman like them 18 wheelers.:

 

[BigRondo]

I like Uma's meat drapes!

Joe, I'm on the floor typing.

 

[lynchy wa]

You need those stainless steel silhouette of a woman like them 18 wheelers.:

That would be bloody cool! I was thinking about it mate, but wussed out!!!!!

Might be something for the future tho'?
