Vigo Body lifts

[Traveler]

Who in Gauteng will be able to do a job like this??

I'll need to off course consider lifting the bumper in front? Will leave rock sliders where they are, they have to still protect the body.

[FUDGES]

I don't get it what is the purpose of a body lift other than looks? The chassis still stay at the same level so no height increase.

For me its just to riscky you increase you c.o.c considerbly and then your stuck can't go and do heavy 4x4ing.

Or am I missing something here?

[Traveler]

If you lift the body, you can fit larger tyres. Larger tyres can increase your distance from the ground from centre hub resulting in more ground clearance.

All these SFA's with their 35's have had some sort of lift, and they go very extreme.

You do not increase COG that much with a 40mm lift. The heaviest part of your vehicle still remains at the same level.

Heinrich, there's a guy in Potch who can do it, but I heard last week he want R6000 to do a lift. That is crazy. Why not ask Louis 4x4MW?

If you have a body lift, you also increase your vehicles approach and departure angles, A.J.

[Traveler]

Heeltemal korrek Riaan, ongelukkig verander die breakover nie. (totdat jy die groter bande opsit.....)

Ek kan by hom uitvind, dankie vir die rigting, ek soek net 'n 40mm lift.

[FUDGES]

Ok good nout ek ook iets geleer Heinrich bel Reghard hy doen dit ook 0734378215

[Traveler]

Baie dankie AJ, sal hom beslis 'n lui gee.

Heinrich, ek weet nie so lekker oor die 33 / 35's? Die 2.5 gaan dit nie lekker hanteer nie....

[ToyX4]

Ek wou dieselfde se, Mark. My 2.5 SC ry op 215 85 15's, en hy is sleg stadig. Het noudie dag 31's opgehad en dit was n straf om met hom te ry.

[Traveler]

Dan moet mens maar kyk hoe kry Nissan soveel krag uit die 2.5 Navara

[ToyX4]

Ek is seker daarvan daar is nie een van daai high output nissan 2.5's wat so lank sal hou soos n Toyota 2.5 nie. Daai knaap is bietjie overstressed as jy my vra, of teminste baie naby, nader as enige Toy engine, al is hy sleg gechip

[OOOOMS]

Jy weet mos Toy's is underspecked, dis hoekom hulle langer en beter hou

[Traveler]

Ek sit more uiteindelik die Chip in wat al maande in die kluis is. Volgende stap sal intercooler wees (soos wat Mark gedoen het).

Soos wat ek bestuur, sal ek tevrede wees as ek dieselfde performance kan kry na so 'n projek met die engine upgrade, as voor die tyd sonder die engine upgrade.

Ek wil nie groter as 33"s opsit nie.

Jy is reg Mark. Hulle werk omtrent 25% binne hulle design spec.

[ToyX4]

Met die chip en cooler sal hy seker werk. As 33's agter op pas, hoekom sit jy nie agter 33's op en voel hoe ry jou bakkie nie, dan sal jy mos weet of jy wil of nie.
Maar ek dink met 33's op sal jy nie eers n 5 voet venter wil sleep nie...

[FUDGES]

Ek het baie krag verloor op my 3l nadat ek 32" op gesit het nous hy gechip bietjie beter maar nogsteeds nie waar hy was nie.

[Traveler]

Het jy nog die Dyno sheet nadat die chip ingesit is?

[FUDGES]

Ek glo so ek sal net moet gaan kyk, ons is eers oor n week by die huis.

HI guys I did the body lift on my 3.0 Myself over a week end it realy is not such a big job and yes you do loose a bit of power with the 33" tyres but it is worth it But I agree with Mark i dont think its going to be a plesure on the 2.5 I have also fitted larger tyres on my 2.5 single cab and it is battling

[AM Racing]

I have the 32" on and it is dead so to speak. Has anybody changed turbo's or increased boost on the 2.5? Not sure what the long term implications would be...

[OOOOMS]

I have not increased boost on the turbo, but very easy :!:

Chip dastek and fitted a 2.5 Mzda inter cooler, now 99kw

[Traveler]

I want to fit an intercooler.

I've now had 265/75's on for about 3 weeks, and I do feel the affect at highway speeds, but below 100km/h the impact is almost not noticeable.

Heinric.

EK gaan met die nuwe bumper probeer om dit so te maak dat jy hom net kan losmaak en opskuif na 'n 40mm body lift.

Doen daai body lift self - dis 'n Saterdag se werk.

Uys

[AM Racing]

Mmmm. Maybe time for that intercooler and boost from 0.75 to 0.9 bar. I will be doing that soon. Will let you know the outcome. Gonna have to monitor egt though otherwise Chernobyl in my engine!!!

[BlumTRD]

Uys, dit lyk nie of dit so erge job is nie. Dis 1 ding om gate te boor, dit ander ding om te probeer om hom gelig te kry..... :wth:
