stay tuned, this project going to go fast.

 

cool...

 

sick, I love the chopped look on the cage, I may be taking that idea and running with my project! haha. probably not but i still love it. I would definately think of running some sort of structual/protective roof since its going to be so short. how close is the cage top when there is someone sitting in the seats?
I would be afraid of not being able to see over the hood at that seat hieght and everything. guess that depends what you plan to use for a hood if any. keep up the good work and take tons of pictures thats a cool project!
what size kings are you using?

 

by the way what the heck rear axle are you running? is that out of a fork truck or something?

 

CLARKE hurth planetaries!

 

The are Dana Corp axles with Clark Hurth Planetaries 19 to 1 final gear ratio, 3.625 in the pumkin / 5.25 in the planetaries.

The 278/190 (Rear Designation) had Hydraulic lockers and Oil Immersed brakes aswell as a lever actuated parking brake on each side that could possibly be used for cutting brakes.

They also have intigrated steering cylinders and the abbility to turn up to 54*

They use M18x1.5x65mm studs 8 on 275mm BCD.

The 278/186 (front designation) are almost Identical but come with a limited slip.

there is also a 278/188 and a 278/192 and final gear ratios very depending upon what equipment they were designated for.

Simply put they are bad ass and I would love to build a two seater with them and 47-54" plus size tires.

 

what he said. there is about 4" from head to cage. so you'll have to cinch down the seat belts.

 

here are some update pics.
