Droppa the van wucking. The van literally moving thru the trail with ease, and on the road its moving normal.

still have issues to sort out, need better handling, brakes and a lil more squeeze out of it

The horn could change tho its too loud haha

[droppa]

right, so the time has come now for a winch to be installed on the trol, hadda be prepared.....

got this winch imported from Lighthammer for a best price.......i kno warn is another great option, but i decided to take a step ahside and try something different........like i always do.....

[Ted_v2]

I could totally picture droppa driving that

[droppa]

Yup that's how those run
Boost + coils + LSD = pure adrenalin

I have my eyes on a tb42 lwb, I get that I might boost it

[Ted_v2]

how much something like that might cost?

[droppa]

if its the gold one with the qd32 u referring to that was a GU SWB, so much ppl wanted to buy that and that man had that for sale so long.....as he put it on tuner it sell.......

with respect to the shell i dont know of any locally, i would like to get my hand s on a gq shell later on for mine tho....


a complete unit will cost about 60+K landed, thats the last price one sold for, TD42, SWB, PTO winch, etc.......

[droppa]

doing a kind of rush job here, as time was limited....






how the finshed winch mount ended up looking, it was bolted and re-enforced to the front chassis brace under the radiator panel.....







finsehd product was tested in less than 24hrs after, and no let downs, all worked well......





in time, we will finish up the bumper, non supportive panels and fog mounts.......

[droppa]

havent been doing much work on the trol these days, but managed to get a lil something done before the total rally, in which we took part, dint place, but was contented just to participate, not break anything and get back home in one piece......

[droppa]

up on some 37" maxxis creepy crawlers





seeing as bigger tires are now involved, i had recently changed out my front wheel bearings, so i decide to check on the rear one time, and turned out they were bad, so new bearings, races, and seals one time, re adjust front bearings, change out diff oils and lenghten breathers, were all in part of the preps.........



finally done after working some late nights with the help of my good side b peeps......

a shot of beauty and the beast......




recently completed some mods on "Team SFA's cutie" as well, spacers, 2" body lift, rear locker, and snorkels on both vans went up after....

[droppa]

did up a lil steel pipe snorkel with ram and some silicone bends and added a pair of FJ40 mirrors







a pic of cutie, and the snorkel



after total we had our own fun in the mud, had to be the recoverer again......

[neckto]

looking sweet too bad.........congrats man

[droppa]

may just be selling this ride, if things happen to work out.......

35K, without 37s.....
