Show us your articulation

[Busman]

Had to post a quick thread on articulation your your vehicle.
The following pic shows a good example of this.
How far can your vehicle articulate???;):twisted::twisted:

Still a work in progress though. Just need to soften up the rear a bit and fit some bead locks.:twisted::twisted:

Justin

[Busman]

Hendrik, you seem to be confusing 'flex' and 'bogged':p:D

[Busman]

:D:D:D:D:D

But there is evidence of some flex>

[Hendrik]

LOL
We dug those holes in order to test articulation and also see if we could get out. I did get out easily, with CDL though. Holes like that show articulation well i think. That was at Fraser earlier this year, when we got bored.
So if you have nothing to do on the upcoming Fraser trip, this is a good boredom killer.

Sorry best that I can manage. I know a bit pitiful

[Busman]

Did not have a good spot to test properly, but seems the flex is
not bad, and still had a bit more to go :eek:
Better have a go on the beach, as it seems l'd better keep up with the sand baggers:D

I was starting to get worried about the political correctness of the Bible on the other thread, so l thought i'd get back to more pressing issues like
the flex of myyyy?? Had you wondering & no.
The Gumboot ??? Yes
Hey Shamo, not bad flex there mate. (probably flexed even more when it hit the water at 40kms an hour & sank)>:D:D:D
Have you taken delivery of your new D2????
The Gumboots treads are 33's on offsets. I bought them off Trav (Dunga Spec)

[Shamo]

Mate, there's no flexing going on here, only thing flexing is the muscles in my tear ducts... haha

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2010/01/626.jpg

Sure do have the D2 by the way, just waiting on my ARB locker :twisted: get it this friday, going to fit her up over the weekend, (i bought a locker cause i found the diff in it to be absolutely rooted haha)

this is the thread of it anyway in the D2 section, http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-2/89039-got-my-d2.html

[Hendrik]

Whatever mate, at least it won't take me 3 days to get my front diff center out. And don't come crying to me when your oil pump bolt fails, I did tell you to check it.
And whose D2 doesn't have any amigoes on the dash? :p

[Psimpson7]

Hendrik, You and Shamo later::)

Should change my username to dunga spec hey Dave :twisted:

Got that word from a bloke in the Brissie LR club who called the pov pack Rangie clasic (like the dunga) 'dunga spec' as it has no electric windows, mirrors, etc.. (mine now has all 3).

Yeah Trav,
Think the Dunga Spec could be a force to be reckoned with:twisted::twisted:
Could be the advice of many who want a job cut, hacked and done cheap (Dunga Spec):D:D
The Dunga is may not qualify now, as she has a new paint job, new electrics and soon to be new rims & tyres.:cool:

[dungarover]

****in' oath :twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted:

Just need to get it all back together in time for Coffs, I won't miss this trip for the third year straight or I'll be one ****ed off Rangie owner :mad::mad::mad:

Thought I'd post up some shots whilst playing with the front suspension. Still has a lot more in the rear and possibly a bit more in the front if i can convince the radius arm bushes to do so and get some more rocks & dirt to make the humps bigger. FYI all springs are retained top & bottom no dislocation (used to but to bloody noisy;))

I was certain the new springs and shocks were going to be too stiff and too hard on rebound. Yes it is hard on road (but handles superb) offroad I was surprised that it is still comfortable and is not lifting wheels;) You never stop learning with this stuff I can tell you.

Justin

[Psimpson7]

Dont have many showing the flex on mine. The 2 below are about it.

Both front and rear have some left. My rear down travel is **** at the moment.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2009/10/1261.jpg

[Grimace]

ok I got some more. I am sure these have been posted elsewhere???

I would really much love to get a photo at full flex to show how well they work even with springs retained (mine are like Justins, retained upper and lower).

Unfortunately the ormeau creek run never brought the car to full flex, I think the most flex i got that day can be seen in the shot on the rocks.

What I do like is the way the front seems to have started working really well even with not much weight on it.

Rangies rule!!!

p.s. and some white coloured discos arnt to bad either! :)

The car works well mang! Dont change it if its workin!

Haha thanks mate.

It is the extreme you will go to when you are being land rover deprived for as long as i have been, i havnt had a bloody landy on the road for about 2 months now, i need to feed my urges with all i can find haha.

Shamo

[GuyG]

You dry clean tyres??

some flex shots, need to do some work to the suspension. Have added extra stuff into the car and the wheels now scrub on the rear doors plus I'm hitting the bump stops on occassions

Shamo, Bring your new D1 down to Orneau for a run on the 17th?

[brownrangie]

This is the best I can do from a stock setup. Not much on the front, bit better on the back with the airbags. Work on the suspension coming up end of the month. Notice the twist of the front bumper to the grill

How doe's one get bored on Fraser? I spent 3 weeks there and never had the problem.
