Would you not have been better using proper shocks, rather than a bottle of coke? hehe Nice trooper.

I would have thought that Mog axles would have been more appropriate??

Mog axles would be nice but they have there down sides too. Not ideal for going fast due to the extra leverage of the portal box and also very very heavy. Not to mention the price. Patrol axles are very strong std so they are a great axle to use. Also with the 4.66 gearing they are nice and low geared.

Thanks I love my old patrol too will pull a house down and come back for more. 4.2 turbo diesel old school power and torque.

Took my trooper for a bit of offroading this weekend, its completely standard apart from a set of kumho kl71 mud tyres. I started the day saying i was going to take it easy, but got carried away in the end and had a little oopsie that needed some carefull winching to get me out of.



Surprising amount of flex for a 190,000 mile standard truck, and the rear lsd showed the landys up on this twister



But a steep side slope covered in trees, and mud clogged tyres arent such a good mix





Was this buildwas?

I imagine one of the few 2wd in this thread...






VW Beetle baja conversion, 1.6, low range gearbox (about 10-15% lower than a standard beetle), raised front and rear using pretty much stock components, mud tyres etc...
Will go almost everywhere, turn up at p+play sites and people laugh at first, watch it go around and then say it must have 4 wheel drive.

The only thing it (and all others) struggles with is very deep water and long stretches of very slippy mud due to 1. quite low petrol engine and 2. lack of any limited slip/locking diff. There is a fairly active and growing uk club of them so something a bit different from the usual chrome and lowered classic VWs you see around.

Used to race a Chenworth Buggy back in the late 80's with the AWDC, many outright wins and put some very well sorted 4x4's to shame, anyone that remembers that far back will know how good it was.

Would love to have another, 798kgs wet with 148bhp, fantastic off roader.
