I thought maybe you guys might want to see some pictures of this thing. Rather than post a ton of pics here I will just post a link to the thread on Pirate4x4 .

The color is that crazy late model VW beetle green , and was a real chore to shoot.

It is all Toyota drivetrain- modded of course.

 

awesome showcase for stubbswelding!

 

thank you , thank you

 

That is very cool. I know you will have some fun in that......Good Job!

 

My question is....why leafs in front and coils rear. wouldnt you want both the same or leafs in rear and coils front?

 

Good question-
In this application the rear coils actually have characteristics more like a leaf spring (becuase of them being captured mount-read that thread) however you still get the advantage of a 90+ degree departure angle (if that is what you desire). I would have put coils up front too but space is somewhat limited - maybe next time!

 

i think i get ya. Yeah i dint read that thread, i basically just looked at the pics, but now i might go and read it to learn more about your kick ass buggy.
