88 inch of pure pleasure

hi i seem to have fallen in love with the wheels on gwynn lewis's challenge truck i think they are 6 spoke alloys,does anyone no what they are and were to get them,swap for my mach5's

i pritty sure the drop arm on the diso will be different as for the steering damper issue just use the 90 steering bars on the disco axle they will all interfit

ideal'y i would like to have them i watched my 2nd event on sunday at a track local to me and everyone used the waffles and the anchor from what i saw i no there not a defanate must but..... thanks paul

hi people i have fitted my through cab snorkle and put a KnN type cone filter on the end of it im needing now the sock/cover like used on the brisca stockcar's to stop the filter becoming coverd in water anyone no were to get such a item iv searched for hours with no look

i think to find any lr axle that would hold up to lockers and 35's on standard shafts ud be almost a god there were some trucks from the north offroad stand at the petobourgh show on disco 2 axle's im sure

wow thanks guys answerd all my questions in one,now were is that bank card

dont you have a local bearing and seal stockist pop them down and they should be able to match you a set up

i will be watching this topic with interest,im hoping to start my first season in the winch challenge events next year having watched may vid's and looked at many photos iv noticed some realy mad punch possitions although im willing to have a go at most things and having a truck built mostly for the job it would be nice to be broken in easily just untill the basics are picked up,iv offroaded for a while but winching is all new,there should be 2/3 of us hoping to join in next year with varying skills and speck'ed trucks.thanks paul

its no the only weird thing iv heard of being stolen a friend had his 2009 110 crew cab rear doors stolen a couple of weeks back.

thanks mate seems they are the same as a disco 1 and a rr aswell

can anyone shed any light on the stub axle part nos,are they the same as any other lr axle

probs only about 10/15mm but both sides do it identicaly thats what made me wonder,the axle all measures up the same though possibly the stub ends you recon

anyone???

right ive just picked up a disk braked rear sailsbury axle that i gave what i call a reasonable price, did all the checks on collection for it being bent, it all looked straight and using a long spirit level from disk to disk the axle tubes all measure the same distance away from the level,BUT now i have it home if i put 2 wheels on the axle and rotate the diff with the wheels held still, ie with the complete axle rotating the wheels move slightly as if it were bent but its on both sides and in identical position is that normal

i so want a set of beadlockers fitting to my mach 5's they have the rolled edge though is it still possible

thanks for the replys,id looked on ash trans but it says they dont stock them anymore the prices are up and down between people as ever,i will give crown diffs a call se what he says

i have a good friend building a budget challenge truck he wants a set of lockers but is running out of £££££ i was just wondering if anyone had bought a no spin and a true trac recently and had a idea on price

no one have a defender challenge truck then

the truck was a 88inch hybrid coiler its now a 95inch wb winch truck im not two botherd about it looking like a factory finish its built for a purpose as said before,the chassis was only made longer from the rear spring mounts back and using longer radial arms to gain the wb.the joint was but welded and plated round using 4mm im pritty confident it wont move its had 200amps of mig around it all but time will tell and if it all falls in bits il make it stronger next time

hi guys my challenge truck build is coming along nice i need a set of 4 springs now i want them soft as posible with a 2 inch lift my truck is 95 inch wb has a 8274 front and back and the usual cage etc what springs will be best for me thanks paul

as mark said realy,its not a hard job in all fairness but be awair if your changing the a frame ball joint they can be a pig if the bolts are rusted in as i recently found out
