Good buy!

We should do a boostedfalcon 4by run one day.

by **DaNeOs** » September 18th, 2008, 7:09 am

Cheezy Front bar and 2" body lift will be at my work by lunch time

Also found out they want 190$ for a courier from mornington for the other stuff, so im leaving work around 12ish for a hour or so to go pick it all up.

YBHVE4 - Im located S.E Melbourne,

FROST - I got petrol / gas 4.2, looked a td42 SWB but was rusted to the shit house and he wanted 6grand still and i got this for 3.5 so i aint complaining.

Dan - Definatly up for the 4by run, just need to get all this stuff into it

by **Bipolar** » September 18th, 2008, 8:33 am

Looks like a good starting point. The previous owner had some fun.

by **EFFalcon** » September 18th, 2008, 8:48 am

nice stuff Dane.
now go break it!

by **Dansedgli** » September 18th, 2008, 8:58 am

Breaking and fixing them is half the fun. :S

Come over and fix mine for practise

$3500 is a bargain!

by **DaNeOs** » September 18th, 2008, 12:06 pm

Dan, i fix them pretty much every day, joys of being a mechanic

they aint to bad to work on.

by **five point slow** » September 18th, 2008, 5:16 pm

Looks good, the best GQ colour. They look tough as with black wheels and bars.

by **Dansedgli** » September 19th, 2008, 8:04 am

Bloody hell, you dont waste any time.

Its going to look heaps better once all that is in.

by **DaNeOs** » September 19th, 2008, 9:37 am

I know, im fixing me missus's MX6 V6 at moment, and if i get repaid for that ill be buying a Cheezy Rear bar and making custom rock sliders like the cheezy ones for a fraction of the price

Hows yours coming along?

by **t1MMy** » September 19th, 2008, 9:42 am

DaNeOs you missus name Jacqui?

by **Dansedgli** » September 19th, 2008, 9:48 am

Thats mad.

I wish I had time and skills to make my own gear. It would have saved me heaps of cash.

Mine is alright. I fixed a leaking axle seal last weekend then went out and the throwout bearing started making noises so the box has to come out before I drive it again.

I scored an EFI dizzy and manifold on ebay yesterday for $220 so I want to do an efi conversion next. Just need an ECU and fuel pump.

by **EFFalcon** » September 19th, 2008, 9:48 am

Yes Tim.

shit Dane, how did u get that stuff so quick.

by **DaNeOs** » September 19th, 2008, 1:16 pm

Just went and brought a uniden UHF, 250$ with HD 4.5db aerial
Starting putting it all in this weekend.

Tim yeah, im good mates with bogy and that.

Dan if you need a hand with you box and that, let us know and if you want if im free on the day, shoot it down and we could use the hoist!

John, I knew what i wanted and needed, so went down to mornington and got it all.

by **t1MMy** » September 19th, 2008, 1:48 pm

Ah yer ok, I put 2 and 2 together when I heard u say ur missus has a MX6.

by **DaNeOs** » September 20th, 2008, 10:38 am

Last night we got into it, we got the body lift in, cheezy bar and winch all on, about to do springs and shockers if they rock up.

by **Commando** » September 20th, 2008, 10:54 am

Awesome pickup Dane!

by **DaNeOs** » September 20th, 2008, 12:05 pm

Well springs and shockers rocked up for the front, it now sits at 44" at the front gaurds, ill let pictures tell the story and ill go get into the rear end now.

Dan i think i can fit 37's under there now

by **AaronEF8** » September 20th, 2008, 12:15 pm

That looks tuff as! Go fit the rears right now then find something to climb over

I do have a question, why do 4wd'ers (not Toorak Tractors) take the 4/5-poster bullbars off to fit the nudge bar type setup?

by **five point slow** » September 20th, 2008, 12:25 pm

That's a race bar. Pretty much just a winch/lights/antenna mount. It offers SFA protection when you hit a roo/cow/coon at 110 kph, but you don't exactly come across that much in comps and what not. Weigh a lot less than full bars as well, which is a plus for comps. I'm keeping my full bar because I plan on doing a bit of touring. No way I'd want to hit a big red or grey at speed with that bar.

by **PSI250** » September 20th, 2008, 1:45 pm

looking good, didn;t take long for the mods to begin!

i'm down for boosted 4by meet, theres a fair few on here now so would be a good day out!!

by **EFFalcon** » September 20th, 2008, 6:05 pm

woah Dane, what a difference!

by **dimmy101** » September 20th, 2008, 9:01 pm

by **Dansedgli** » September 20th, 2008, 9:08 pm

Whats that got to do with Dane's car?

The GQ looks massive! Ill measure mine but I dont think its anywhere near that high.

by **DaNeOs** » September 21st, 2008, 10:43 am

Dan, soon as i bring the rear up the front will drop down a inch or 2, hope it doesnt drop to far.

About to pull backseats, and carpet out to run airlines to console, for gauges and wiring for switches and solenoids.

Then its just remove coils and put in the rear airbags, if i dont like the air bags ill replace them with coils and see how it goes.

by **DaNeOs** » September 21st, 2008, 11:57 am

by **Dansedgli** » September 21st, 2008, 12:14 pm

Thats huge.

Is that diff rolled forwards lots or is it the angle of the pic? Will the drop boxed fix it or will you need new arms?

by **DaNeOs** » September 21st, 2008, 12:19 pm

Dan, when you go past 3" Suspension lift the angel on the Main control arms for the diff goes up , instead of staying roughly straight.
The drop boxes also work as a gearbox rear mount spacer to fix the angle on the drive line, it mounts between the gearbox mount and chassis, and uses the old eyelet for the control arm as extra mount, then it has a new eyelet for the control arm 2 - 3" lower than the original to reset the control arm straight, ill get a pic for you if you want?

by **EdFairmontGhia** » September 21st, 2008, 9:50 pm

any pics of the beast in action climbing over other cars???

by **DaNeOs** » September 24th, 2008, 11:11 am

Well the rear end is set up and working, just need to adjust the solenoids.

Things to do -
Wire Winch
Mount Second Battery Tray
Steering Dampner

Then its off for a test in Gembroke

by **Dansedgli** » September 24th, 2008, 11:23 am

Good stuff.

Nothing should hold it back in Gembrook!

by **stevo** » September 24th, 2008, 11:33 am

Pics god dammit.
Hows the front sit now the rear is done?

by **DaNeOs** » September 24th, 2008, 11:58 am

Pics will come as soon as drop boxes are in,

Cutting a 4wd Chassis with a 9" Grinder FTL

by **DaNeOs** » September 24th, 2008, 12:58 pm

Well 1 side drop box is in, but its a PITA to get the diff to roll back to the angle it needs to be at.

Been speaking with the guy that i get all my parts from and he thinks i have a dodgey solenoid for the air bags,as the passenger side goes up real quick where the drivers side takes a whilst.

by **Dansedgli** » September 24th, 2008, 2:15 pm

When I put spacers in behind my lower control arms I spent all day fucking around trying to move the diff forward enough to fit them then discovered that I had maxed out the front tailshaft so it couldnt move anymore forward. I undid the tailshaft then it moved easy.

Not sure if that helps you or not.
