Over on the USMB there is a Brumby undergoing a conversion to Hilux diffs and coil springs. They've got the axles and steering box mounted now. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/sho ... hp?t=92202

Yep, Mick's Brat is getting bigger again. Gonna be pretty sweet when its done. Makes me want to get on with finding a solid rear axle to go under my little subie.

I love all that sub frame bar work under that thing, but I think the mounting points were the rear arms swing off are a bit week.

I think what you have done is a much better idea having a big square tube across the car to mount the arms from.

Yes that tube subframe is amazing, looks very strong indeed. This is giving me more stupid ideas for me wagon....altho I don't think I'm going to need that much re-inforcement with the small tyres I'm using and no big live axels. I will definitely need to do something similar with the proposed transfer case mod to my car.
Awesome what they do over there!

That is just rediculous!!! Why to yanks love jacking up 4wd's this bloody high? And how will the steering work, that's one thing that's got me stumped!

Same reason people do up B&S utes I guess Bennie.

True that - I just hope they replace the standard springs with something a little more lengthy, otherwise there's no real point for the solid axles and the body being that high...

Even with that lift, that car still drags the diffs very low (obviously) unless it will have monster tyres - give me independent suspension any time.

took it out for it's maiden voyage. worked great. never felt a tire leave the round all weekend... I need to do some more trimming of the front fenders, but otherwise great for having mostly worn ouf BFG All Terrains, and an open front.

Hey McBrat, glad you found your way to my thread.

Does the body flex much when you're crossed up like in the above pic? Do you hear it creaking and groaning? Can you open and close the doors?

That bullbar is fantastic.
