Looks like a good old little competition Ole

Yes it was a very good time, we do not take it as much as competition as we do only do the driving part off it not all the "boyscout" tasks ie rappelling cooking food for marchals and so on, but it is a great nature to explore there are so many beautiful places to watch while one is on the move and the intensity at nigth time while doing punches in the dark woods is breathaking.

See you soon

Cheers

Ole

[Pomerania XXXII]

What he said!

We really enjoyed ourselves and it was very nice to meet you guys and see the kitten go through some of the trial stages!

Greetz,

Filip

Hi Filip & Ben

Nice to meet you and very unexpected to see Mouse IRL, but jolly good, would be nice to see you again with more time on hand, we are going to Hardenberg 11-13 Nov to watch some Dutch racing so it might be that w edo pop in for a coffe.

Cheers

Ole.

More muddy punches to do.

Eventhough a Snorkle fitted what does it help when you lean on it adainst the bank watch the black mud on the righthand side on the windscreen ups ups no good as you will see below.

White smoke!! we are runing on water, bugger bugger......

Good, one are running K&N, a paper filter would newer have survived this, after two hours digging mud out and a quick wash for the filter in one off the Trangia pots we are ready to go again.

Due to the properties off the K&N only a bit off water got through, it saved the engine

Next day a bit more fetling to keep it going

We came to have a good time and ended in fourth place in our class A Adventure

Jannik and Peter got third so it does not take a tricked up coiler to make good results the old leafers does still hang in.

One of our best trips ever...

Kind regards

Lasse (co pilot and pictures) & Ole

[Pomerania XXXII]

Time for food Bacon Bacon and more Bacon and a bit of Pasta good survival food

And of course the usually fetling the Landy,

And soon we are on the move again, punches are so much easier in daylight

Good to have a fast pto driven mech winch.40m /min is no prob

Really strange landscape

[Pomerania XXXII]

Now what is this??

Mouse out off HOFS fame all off a certain come out off the blue!!

The Kitten and Mouse was build in a parallel time frame.

Soon the chase is on, but wait a minute it is the wrong way around the mouse is chasing The Kitten.

[Pomerania XXXII]

After almost 700km the Polish Boarder is close.

Last propper meal ( schnitsel) before we go on survival food.

Fueling up before the "race" not that it is a race but for us it is 300km of roadbook on unpaved roads an exelent way to train building speed up going by roadbook.

Uhu next morning !!! not strange that it was a bit cold to slep in the van -5 during the night.

We are on the move first small water crossing. there will be meny more on the move.

Crossing is no prob with a good recon to avoid the "traps" with to deep water.

Small pudle to be crossed co pilot quick figured to attach rope to the guy in front so the mud splassing is minimised.

HI Folks

The "road train" at one of the quick stops for a pee

Here are our friends Peter and Jannik wich joined on the go also in a series LR leading the way.

[Shaved or not?]

Hi

I am in the proces of building a Salisbury rear axle and shaving is on the agenda, I have had the same thoughts about the casing and have also read that one can only stretch it a certain times before it is bust.......But having read a lot on Pirate and Outerlimit about how people do the shaving on Dana 60's, and not found anything re preload complications, so I will just go a head and get the job done, it can not be that complicated.

I hope to start a tread under members vehicles covering the build.

[Salisbury axle]

If you haven't purchased the locker yet then get one with the correct 4.7 offset so that there is no surgery involved. just swap crownwheel and pinions over, adjust pinion height and backlash and you're away.Spacer is only required if you are fitting a 4.7 crownwheel to a 3.54 carrier.

Bill.

Thanx Bill will do so.

[Salisbury axle]

Look back at what Andy (redibex / moglite) did, he posted up the full info on shaving salisbury axles, rebuilding with 4.7's etc. and it seemed to work well for a lot less wonga than all the extreme stuff. Not without its challenges as I recall, but doable and practical.

Ah that is where I did see it! I did remember having seen it somewhere, but now I can not find it again can someone plese help me find it, I am not that friendly with the search facility on here sorry.......

[Salisbury axle]

Hi

Thanks for the replys.

The reason why is, because I am using a LT95 from a 101" which with 3.54 gives me way to high a top speed, and as far as I know the std shafts in sal's are as strong as many upgrade ones (correct me if I am wrong) both axles are on the shelf free to use!

the locker I can get at the same price as a rover one, weight wise I can not do much clearense wise 1" shaving should be posible or close to and I am not that woried about that. And the pto driven winch will pull us through with no problem.

Tyre will be 34"-35"

And least but not last for the front axle, 4,75 reversecut cryo and al that and with ARB, is on the shelf free to use.

Hope it makes sense, we are building cheap and with as much reliablity as possible for the money and work invested, in an attempt to finish not win

[Salisbury axle]

Hi Folks

Being in the proces off materialise a wapour build I have some thoughts about changing the ratio in a 110" rear sal from 3,54 to 4,7 using components from a series sal.

Quiestion is then is it duable and if is there anything that I have to look for, in the same go I will fit some sort of locker.

[4jb1 Isuzu]

Hello

I am about to build a new truck and the engine is probably going to be a 4jb1, but I am missing one info that I have not been able to find either here or elsewhere and that is the max rpm.

I know max power is at 3600rpm but to my knowledge that is not the same as the engine can not have a max at ie 4000 or even higher I am thinking off the value where the fuelpump cuts out, and I have used the search button with no result...

Regards

Ole

[PTO removal form a LT95]

Yes, as simple as that

[PTO removal form a LT95]

Hi Bowy

You just need to fit a back plate like on a series G-box.

[Isuzu or 300tdi engine in a 110?]

2.8 timing chain engine. Very reliable

Some of the larger engines were not so good - they smoked and weren't so good.

Erm thought they where either toothbelt or gears! chain is new to me, from what application are the chain ones?

Kind regards

Ole

[New Fairy Capstan Winch - Range Rover Classic]

That is a real collectors item, would be a shame to use on anything other than an RRC, I have no idea re the price, but think it would fetch quite a reasonal sum on Fleabay worldwide not just the UK, there might be som chaps in US who would break a leg to get their hands on such thing, amongst others.

Ole

[Front heavy duty axles for S III]

The Material (4340)that Seriestrek uses are not as strong as the Hituff MD used to use and that I am told the new owner off the MD shats business uses.

At least that is what i found out.

But when he does not want to ship outside US it really does not matter!!

And the price approx 1000£ I will guestimate that Robotman's solution has cost 2/3 off that if not less

Regards

Ole

[Front heavy duty axles for S III]

GBR is US based

You can find them on Facebook as GBR Performance and on www.greatbassinrovers.com

And by the way I also run ARB locker in the front

Ole

[Front heavy duty axles for S III]

Hi Folks

I am running GBR stuf in the front and has only broken a UJ yet, shafts (24spline) are or were made by MD I do not know who makes shafts for GBR now.

Series trek will not ship outside US, but it is not a problem because from my investigation from when I was in the market for upgrading parts I found out that his solution is not any as strong as the GBR one.

To day there are and even stronger solution but it is not straight forward it includes a bit off machining Robotman from here has done what I also have planed to upgrade to when my GBR stuff break if it does??!!

[Weight of a RRC chassis?]

Hi Reggie

I have used a bathroom scale and did as below, acctually the workshop now posseses one cooking scale, one bathroom scale and a postal scale for the nitty-gritty bits, as we are car weight watchers not body weight watchers

Placed the one end off the chassis on axlestands as close to the end as possible and the other end did rest on a thick playwood

piese then I read the scale noted it, did the same in the other end added the two figures and then you have an approx weight close enough for my purpose and I guess also for yours.

regards

Ole
