4-link & 4-steer G-wagen
hi guys, as most of you have seen the pictures of my orange G, thought I'd post some work in progress picture of to let you know what I'm up to with it, its now 103" wheel base, with 4 wheel steer, 4-link back end with 3 link front end, hopefully going to be using hydraulic suspension on it to, as I like the Idea of being able to sit it on the bump stops for side slopes etc, and to lift it to give a "good" :D break over angle!
this might be of interest as well, Ive put a set of front seats from a peugeot 807 mpv in it to, there nice and springy for off road, and of course they have arm rests!
I think I've seen it all now, until your children are old enough to weld and fabricate :lol:
...would be interesting to see how you hook up the 4-wheel-steer.
Mick.. are you sure that rear shackle will be strong enough and pass the scruiteneers?? LOL
What competitions will you be doing next year?
Keep up the good work Mick
going to put another steering wheel on the back and get a monkey to steer!! :lol:
only kidding, BOTH front and rear axles will be steered with hydraulic rams. they will linked together most of the time, but switchable to have the back independent to crab steer, and also lock the rear when the need arises.
lol so it wasn't because a monkey needs a steady food supply that you opted out :p
and i completely agree with piggysims, that shackle looks like it is holding down the rear end by its weight alone! 25t rating? no such thing as too big a safety margin! :lol:
i think you have too much time on your hands
a great technical achievement but just because you can, doesn't always mean that you should?
Mick,
Admiration :D and jealousy :oops: are vying for first place among my limited brain cells.
You should really have went the whole hog and made her a double ender though:roll:
Aye .. Double Ds were when the brits could not afford a Unimog :wink:
.. ah .. now with the exchange rate and soft roading of Unimogs.. maybe we still cannot :cry:
Mick,
Shall I post you an entry form for the 3 peaks next year?
Go on, Go on ,Go on................Go On!
We can have yours, mine, Joe, Darren, and with a bit of organisation Piggy and Tony might join us.
That would show them landie boys a thing or two!
Peter Perfect might even come as winch monkey.
Remember YES WE CAN!
Regards,
Mike
