My Junk (aka: The Black Car)
The Black Car was born of a phone and email conversation between myself and gwagensteve where we discussed all the downsides of my current vehicle (aka: The Green Car) and came with a means of sorting all of those issues before a single spanner was touched.
Aim of the Build:
Heaps of Tyres: I had gotten my hands on one of the first ‘Trent Lean’ ex-competition BFG Krawler sets.
Heaps of Gears: I already had a sierra with a 6:1 transfer case 5.12s in the diffs, but was still craving more gearing for steep and technical driving.
Heaps of Work: this wasn’t an aim for the build, but it’s certainly what we ended up with.
No Compromises: Full Steering Lock, uncompromised cargo area, no engine internal changes, quiet and pleasant to drive.
Stock Appearance: The car had to look like it could have come from the factory as is and I had just swapped in a bigger set of tyres.
