Different kind of lifting

Hjalti · **Posted:** Wed Mar 05, 2008 6:00 pm

Just wanted to share this link of a Liberty 33": http://www.f4x4.is/new/photoalbum/defau ... dsite/2644

And while I'm at it, over here it is common to lift Jeeps and other 4x4s, not necessarly lift so much but also cut out the fenders and put on custom made fender flares, for lower centre of gravity & better flotation on snow (esp. if you deflate the tires).

A few interesting links from the main 4x4 club over here:

that KJ has been posted before on here. i dont like it ( just my opinion). i do see where that would be the way to go over there but for what i do no way. that big of tires on it isnt good either, but to each his own and im sure thats what works for where he lives so its fine. please dont take that the wrong way im just stating how i feel about it and that it wouldnt suit my needs.

Have seen those pictures two years ago or so. You all have somebody up there that builds some wild flares for sure! All the pictures I see have those nice big flares on them, ship some down to us!!! :wink:

Thanks for the links , keep them coming!

Ive seen that setup and its pretty insane. Hopefully he has 4:10 gears and a few extra front diffs. :shock:

Sorry I didn't realize that, saw it on a parking lot a few weeks back and then stumbled on it on that page, thought it might be interesting being so different.

I'm liking the looks of that kj

That's some crazy language you got over there

DoverKJ · **Posted:** Wed Mar 05, 2008 7:05 pm

I like it.

It is different...I can give him that. But those 33's are going to kill that poor little, tiny, aluminum D30 sooner or later... :shock:

some of the other pictures are cool, some wild looking machines for sure

That KJ would look bitchin' with an aftermarket bumper up front.

callaway · **Posted:** Wed Mar 05, 2008 7:47 pm

thats great

no way in hell they'd allow that here

DryBones · **Posted:** Wed Mar 05, 2008 7:48 pm

could you throw MOABs with MTR's on it with those flairs without lifting?

Fulltimer · **Posted:** Wed Mar 05, 2008 8:23 pm

I wonder if they have done something about that Dana 30a?

you saw it in person??....and didnt wait for the owner to come by and ask him a bunch of questions about it? like does it have 4.10 gears? and how many diffs have you gone through? lol

I am from Iceland...you can see my "IS" decal on the back window:

In Iceland (Island), suspension travel is not the main objective when traveling anywhere, especially north of the most sounthern regions. Flotation is crucial. Expedition vehicles...usually Toyota Land Cruisers run HUGE tires and crevace stingers...so they don't fall in any breaks. You have to build your vehicle to the condittions...you should see some of the F1 Hill Climb Videos on You Tube...straight up with monster engines...

I really like that kj on the first page, simply because its built for a specific purpose. i think thats really really cool! i'm not sure if i personally like the look of it or not, but i love the idea of building something for a specific condition. kinda reminds me of AEVs Iceland Commander.

I can't get over how far those wheels and tires extend past the bumper. Could you imagine the Jeep without those flares??
