Taking apart the old struts with spring compressors to see how many of them are still usable and start hacking and modifying them for bigger ATV tires, custom rims and Volkswagen Golf 1 rear axle springs. The rims I’m using are original Peugeot Partner 14“ steelies that I modified quite a bit to make them work with the Kenda Executioner 28“ ATV tires on original Peugeot struts. I’m also fabricating a functional tire bead breaker out of scrap metal which I attached to the workshop ceiling support post so I don’t have to drill into the floor to anchor it. Now I can break tire beads on various wheels.
This is part of a series of a four wheel drive utility vehicle build to lessen the work load on my trusty 2002 Honda Foreman Rubicon TRX500FA. This partially answers the question “Why?“ but for those who want to ask “why don’t you just buy a side-by-side instead of building one?“ I just want to say - I’m not made of money. Side-by-sides are ridiculously expensive, even the car I drive around daily is worth less (not worthless though!), hell, it is even worth less than my 2002 Honda ATV.
“How much HP will it have?“ - the 1.4 litre FWD petrol engine I’m planning on using has 55 kw and this will not change, but the torque will be tripled via the BMW differentials I’m using to transfer power to front and rear axles.
“It will be too heavy!“ - this project just like the firewood processor project does not have to float. And a heavier vehicle will handle better anyway when hauling heavy loads.
Stay tuned for future episodes! Thanks for watching!
