Vsicks Pathy

Thats why I asked for a side view.

ROLF! You make valid points. I'd like it to respond only after saying "make it so number one."

Winch, chain saw, hi lift jack, exhaust jack, shovel, compressor, snatch strap, tree trunk protector, chain and shackles, just to name a few, will not fit in there. Or will they?

Your panhard arm looks like it would foul on the diff as the suspension copresses. Does it get in the way at all? If so... Why was it placed behind the diff and not in front? Any chance of a side angle pic of that?

I love the crossmember. Mine has brackets welded to the chassis. Yours sh!ts on mine.

My question is....... Where do you put you recovery gear?

It certainly is a clean looking job. The best I have seen actually. What sort of body roll do you get on corners etc.

So it wasn't transworldmoto that got it locked after all? I thought he got it locked with his (to be expected expected of him) special comments. Yes, come to think of it, it was him that got it locked! Back on topic then..... So when are you going to finally fix your steering? I would not be using 4wd untill you have fixed it. Your car will continue to wander and being in 4wd will exagerate that, not to mention wear the components even faster.

Very nice.

The Navara/Hardbody (4wd model only) sits two inches higher than the Pathy. Yes, it has a factory BL.

SLAP!

NEVER use 4wd on a hard surface or a surface that has plenty of traction EVER! Binding is also called, quickly going to break something.

So you must have read what I said about this very thing just two posts earlier.

The squeek is more than likely from broken spot welds. They can be hard to find.

Put that way, fair enough. I agree, if he is to maintain the status quo he shouldn't have much of a problem. No going off road or using 4wd until it is fixed.

Makes you wonder.

You will notice worn steering components even more in 4wd and they will fail very quickly without much effort at all if you are off road. What GG said is correct. The longer you leave it, the quicker the other steering components will go. This is where I move from GG's thinking..... It can be a timebomb! especially if you take your Pathy off road on occasion. The tie rods and idler arm bushes are next to follow and once they go, you will run the risk of the car going places you don't want to. It will be fine on a smooth straight section of road untill an undulation or a bend. It can be scarey stuff as a few here on this board can attest to, including myself.

Any feedback on this issue Crazy?

Have you seen or heard from Geordie at all Justin? I want to look at his draws. I can not remember if I have seen them or not. :confused:

Another mob over in Perth (I think anyway) make them but I can not recall their name at the moment. I will pm you when I remember.

Getting your uncle to help out is the go. The 4 bangers are straight forward. If he is a good mechanic it should only take 40 or 50 minutes to do. That s not pushing it either.

Did you see Trey's setup? It is quite neat and it sits almost flush with the 'A' pillar.

Your kidding? You swallowed water from that little tiny puddle? You couldn't have thrown up much water, it is too shallow. Not as much as this anyway...

Your post was edited so the mods thought so too but all is well on this side of the pond. I did not have any lasting issues with anything thing that was said. It's all good fun... untill someone gets hurt that is.

There you go GG to the rescue.
