great conversion, years ago I made window covers like the outlet cover at 8:45 but window sized and that meant i could leave the inside windows open full time in torrential rain or while shopping and nothing or no one could get into the van, great for ventilation and as each vane was Z shaped, slightly stretched out z, you couldnt really see in from outside. Death wobbles, jeezus,

@@tomrobson761 depends what bus you have the abs models are difficult, particularly for engineering sake but the older ones are all sweet, canter diffs are the common older swap, need to turn the steering box around or get a Mazda t-truck steering box, that’s the most common older conversions. Do you mean np205? There was a build on exploroz but yeah, diffs are the easy part, steering box and transfer case is a bit tricky unless running it “divorced” style.

Wicked coaster man! In the thumbnail it definitely looks the goods but seeing on the dunes wow! We have a few 4x4 buses at work, including a Go4x4 Coaster, was pretty excited to see how went but even the Go4x4 is a huge disappointment. The bus has only done 100k km and it's noisy, no clearance (the diffs scrape on everything!) no articulation, barely does 100kph. It's offroad performance is worse than our 48 seat 2wd coaches lol and uses the same amount of fuel hahaha. All of the 4x4 bus conversions Ive driven have been so lackluster I just decided to stay with my 2wd sprinter. Was hoping you were using a kit that I could buy (assumed it was custom fabricated from the thumbnail) so disappointing to hear about the troubles you had with kit manufacturer and that you basically had to re engineer it yourself. Awesome job though and obviously a great 4x4 conversion can be done if you have the skills and time!

Thankyou! That’s what we aim for at least 😂 Front diff is Dana from American trucks such as F-truck, Dodge etc. Because they’re so hugely remanufactured and used there is plenty of ratio options, just have to make sure it’s right because these transfer cases will 100 percent not forgive mismatch 😂

Hey mate! It’s a equal length 4link setup in the front with a track bar, crossover steering and king coilovers, rear is still on the factory parabolics with a extra leaf for load and king shocks. As for the super singles it’s just a process, depends what GVM the vehicle is too, easiest way is to find a manufacturer that can confidently build and rate the wheels within a high standard and provide some kind of proof of design/quality, then you just need a mod plater/engineer 🤟🏾 Thanks mate! Will do!

@Justgotere
Ай бұрын
Thankyou and yes! I’m glad too! I did! I concluded that the price of the wrap I would just ruin, Then I would have to replace that wrap to make it look not scratched after, so that’s the price of two wraps, then next time we travelled somewhere we would scratch it again and again etc 🤷♂️ I’m not fussed if the paint gets ruined, we built it for a purpose and don’t want to hold back. I’ve done quite a fair chunk of spraying on vehicles previously, so I may paint it down the track.. but then we’ll scratch it again..so I think… “what’s the point at all?” 😂 It’s funny because before we traveled full time I used to polish it, clean it all the time, worry about the paint etc. Now I’m more worried if it’s clean and if it doesn’t have marks on the paint because that means I’m probably not using it. I feel almost embarrassed when it’s too clean being 4x4… weird right? 😂

She’s got about 3t of water, driveline, and diesel under floor height. The body weighs just about nothing in comparison so nothing to worry about. Considering wheel track vs height and weight distribution, it wouldn’t be much worse than a troopy with a rooftop tent I reckon. You have to keep in mind too, this is a motorhome. So comparing it to cars + caravans makes more sense than comparing it to 4x4’s

Hello Mate: How’s the Bus 4x4 kit, any death wobble?
@Justgotere
16 күн бұрын
Hey mate! Nope, they have totally different design, they use a custom IFS setup BUT make sure its IFS otherwise its identical to the Enduroco kit. Bus 4x4 originally installed Enduroco kits before developing their own. Bus 4x4 essentially space down the factory setup with a custom subframe / IFS knuckle. Personally I think the only catch being it stays torsion bar. That limits the articulation and ride quality/tune ability in comparison to live axle and coil spung. Depends what the intended use is, for sand and most off-roading it’s totally fine, we tend to crossover into some recreational 4x4 so articulation and heavy duty simplicity is import to us. I’ve driven a couple Bus 4x4 ifs kits and they drive quite nice. Personally I say Enduroco components are in the right direction but the execution is terrible. Bus 4x4 seem more passionate about supplying a product that drives better and is safer. Unless you want a whole bunch of overwhelmed components and death wobbles, then Enduroco is the perfect choice 😂
