Trailer - challenge truck build

New axle bolted to the a frame and put in an apporxinate position

Approximate position of the rear arm although it will be higher (fowling on the current mount)

Tyre position ... I was pleasantly surprised where it sits

Although they have a massive offset differnce to the front

Next make some boxes for the radius arms and get it all set up

Keep wondering if you have finished playing, then something else awesome pops up.

Loved this thread from start to finish.

Trailing arm brackets done !!

Just gotta do the shock mounts and filler plug and rear axle is done

Just after a qyick flex by hand and up and down on the jacks its a MASSIVE improvement over standard

as ive now got unlimited up and down movement

Yep but using ones with a chopped off front lug so ive got 3 contact points at the axle

I want to see how it goes too !!

Shocks on and set up for full travel

spings on just gotta do the filler plug and the internals are ready to go in after setting up the diff

Then just gotta sort the brakes and switch tyres

Ive removed both front lugs on another set that im currently painting, this set will get used on the front but using them to set up while I chopped the other set

Hmm... It's just never ending isn't it.

Does a d2 rear casing take a regular long nose diff?

Aren't they short nose in the rear as standard??

jai_landrover · Jan 1, 2015

Thought D2 were long nose diffs p38's were horrible short nose.

200tdi ayre · Jan 1, 2015

D1 & D2s have "Long nose" 3.54 Diffs, some have 3 x bolt drive flange a la donut / some have more / better 4 bolt type, both interchangeable.

P38 RR and rear axles of TD5 110, 127 130s etc have 3.54 but short nose diffs, which are completely different.

P38s have Short nose 2 pin diffs front and back, the 4.6 P38 and TD5 110+ etc have 4 pin short nose diffs
