Thread: A crazy D2

And after all that they still forgot to swap the steering wheel to the "right" side of the dash

(and stick it in a shipping container and send it to me...)

Lots of work done to that. I don't agree with extended bump stops and lowered top shock mounts though.

Shocks arent just lowered, they are also repositioned with more angle. This allows longer axle travel with the same length shock and also re rates the shock to have slower travel speed. You just need to be accurate with the final placement in relation to axle travel or you can end up with tje shock rolling against the square of the mount pins if they are eye/eye mounts.
Personally, i prefer to use longer travel shocks on extended mounts along the original geometry line.

Really want one of those overhead pods tho!!!!

BLOODY FANTASTIC but did no one tell them that you can get a 32" tyre onto the original spare mount by TURNING IT UPSIDE DOWN???
I like the roof pod too, but shame there is no room for a UHF in it.

I wonder what this whole 'upgrade' cost the poor man in New York? I'm betting he could have bought a bloody nice D3 when it was all said and done. AND by the look of it, there was no upgrade to diff/transfer/gearbox breathers..... did I miss something?
