    Just a toy. My rallyish offroad e30

    I just wrapped up the cage for my offroad e30 and thought i'd share a few pics. A buddy posted it to the facetube page the other day, so i'm sure some of you have seen it.







    And yes, I do use it.

          It's all home brew stuff. The front is e46 control arms with sleeved strut tubes (1.5" longer) and vert springs. The front ball joints are pretty much maxed out at full droop. The rear is a modified subframe with diff mount to match, keeping the cv's flat at ride height as well as the trailing arms.

          I'm cycling about 7 inches of travel up front and a bit over 8 in the rear. The rear will tuck the white letters without flinching.

          Keep in mind there was a lot of trimming to keep everything clear of the 30's

                I don't, but i'm driving it across the country and back in the next two weeks with a planned excursion to play in some dunes. So i'm sure some vids will be taken.

                Unfortunately i haven't touched it in a while. I picked up a Unimog about a year ago that i've been putting together, once that behemoth is reassembled i'm going to get cracking on the e30 pickup. I have a ton of parts piling up for the thing, quite a few things will be changing. ;)
