i think its cool asand is bloody tough for a brumby but i have to agree it would be never ending for making parts and/or replacing parts that break thats is 1 extream bus cool but hogh matinence. ben

Yeah I know it would be a huge source of trouble, but would almost be worth it

I do get bored with standard cars. If only Subaru didnt stop making the brumby.. Imagine a current GT brumby and the fun it would be.

Always jumping to conclusions I see smoov... He actually owns his own business. He also has many other project cars on the run. And I highly doubt it would be running standard CV's and axles... There are these axles (driveshafts) you can get in the US that can takes loads of torqu at even 30 degree angles... it's all been discussed on usmb...

OK, so assuming this Brat has these whizz bang space age driveshafts (which I can't verify even with a good scan of the USMB).

What about transmissions? The DR 5 speed can't like all that torque and only heavy load on the rear drive gear. What about the transfer cases too? Turning those giant tyres can't be easy.

I remember asking on the USMB a while back what these guys do for suspension, and the answer came back STOCK. Even on a 12" lifted Brat!!!

Well it's obvius he ain't using stock suspension... And they arn't "whizz bang" they are just designed more like earth moving equipment shafts.

Oh, and searching usmb won't do anything... their search function is screwed.

But who cares, there's no way you'd be able to drive that here...
