    I remember watching a 4wd action DVD of this bloke. He sure does blow his own trumpet a lot; my wife called him 'toss winkle the pirate'.

    Freezing steel for improved wear is well known in the racing industry, Heat Treating : anvilfire.com. But, it's a complicated process, and I reckon there'd be a lot cheaper way to achieve greater strength. Having custom made stubs out of chromoly wouldn't be to difficult. I'd also like to know what he's done to the cv's, as they're the known weak spot.

    Suspension is the link to the G-Force system - admitantly it's pretty good. He's got one of the earlier models that has no ecu. There's a hydraulic valve block that controlls all the stuff on his. Though to be honest - i'd be buying a rolled D2, and swapping the ACE system over - I know there's room cause i've measured it all up.

    Personally I see a vehicle like this at quite limiting. There's no way i'd be putting my family in that to go to Queensland - the c.o.g would be so high, yes the G Force system is good, but it can't change the laws of physics.

    It would have a good comp rig though.

    Spot on Lucas ,no way does a 135 Kw at one axle equate to 500 HP. (*Neither does 135Kw at both axles either")He would need to run almost 14lbs of boost to get anywhere near it , and 14lbs of boost will equal 1 4.6 split into 2 2.3 blocks !!!The torque reading is Tractive effort, Not true Torque ,it wouldnt go 700Nm.His dyno sheet isnt worth the paper its written on !Id bet the engine is rattled !!

    Damn, he's knocked back my offer without leaving a comment. (Must've noticed I'd omitted all those unnecessary zeros he put at the end of his price). Funny how when ever he talks you just want him to stop, but when I try to get a rise out of him, nuthin'! Still, plenty more trolls where that came from. Cheers, Bush Ranger.

    I guess there's no chance of him accepting my $2-65 then.
    Apparently a million dollars wouldn't buy the suspension system, the guy who built it must be pretty well off then.

    It carries 220l of fuel and still needs a jerry can?
