37's on a Fronty series "A" by tommo2009 on Wed Jul 15, 2009 12:32 pm
Here are a few more pics of my Frontera sport.
it had been made into a pickup with a frontera sunroof as a rear window..
the Torsion bars are maxed out and the ball joints have been flipped.
The steering stops have been adjusted to stop the wheels hitting the inner arches.
The front bumper has been cut and the inner arches modified
The rear just has longer shackles at present.
twin tube bumper in the rear
It has a 3" body lift using aluminium blocks
Lancia integrale seats
As far as I know the front "A" bar is from a Shogun.
In the process of having a 3.2 fitted, was going to put a 3.5V6 but they are difficult to get hold of.

Plans for it are
SOA rear or possibly a coil spring set up from the monterey.
SAS front end is a must as the IFS is maxed out and it needs to go higher for better clearance
Want to change the rear door for a fold down from a LWB "A" series instead of the swing out door on the sport.
need to sort the diff ratios
What if the Hokey Kokey really IS what it is all about!!!

Thats coming along nicely, the 3.2 should give some performance back even running 37's :D :D

Not sure I'd want to be doing the electrics on it tho, all them sensors n stuff is scary :lol: :lol:
Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one :-(
