stock vs Equipe - Land Rovers Only

fivespddisco · 10-26-2007, 01:06 PM

This is kinda cool to see the difference
1 foot

fivespddisco · 10-26-2007, 01:08 PM

2 foot

the stock truck is about 5 in off the ground in the rear

fivespddisco · 10-26-2007, 01:10 PM

3 foot my disco is just starting to come off the ground and stock well .....

Holy CRAP!...haha...I think the only thing keeping the stock truck from going over was the friction caused by the rubber on the steel fork of the lift.

Geobloke · 10-26-2007, 01:17 PM

Yes that's very interesting, nice comparison that. Thank you.

Is interesting that the modded disco does look a hellofa lot more stable with that wheel closer to the ground than the stock disco.

fivespddisco · 10-26-2007, 01:17 PM

I cant believe these trucks dont fall over

AND just for the record the front on the stock truck did not flex more then mine as some may have suggested.

nice side by side........ IT DOES AMAZE ME HOW WELL THE ROVER HOLD

Having been that sideways (once) i am really thankful!

It looks like you are pretty much hanging the stock Disco from it's front wheel in the last picture. It still amazes me how stable Rovers are. I should print this pic out to show people when they tell me their bubba jeep can outwheel my Disco.

It is funny cos I was only thinking the other day whilst reading the other flex cones difflocker chunky tread stock vehicle thread that I wonder if someone will do a compasrison!!!!

ArmyRover · 10-26-2007, 05:52 PM

Great job on the comparison. I can definitely see a significant difference in the ability between the two setups.

Discoveryxd · 10-26-2007, 08:43 PM

Wonder what harry potter has to say about this...

apbtpetey · 10-26-2007, 09:57 PM

Great pics, I will say though that looking at just the front there doesn't seem to much difference in travel (again just looking at the front) The big difference is in the flex in the rear.

Is there a way to measure how much the front axle moves with your setup compared to the stock setup?

Hands down I would take your setup compared to the stock setup, but the front does seem to be way more limited in travel compared to the rear.

I guess what I am asking is if the stock setup was to have the rear changed to your same rear setup and the front left stock what would the difference in flexing be????

X2 on that, also the 'big' Rover is running much larger tires than the other 'stock' Rover. This would also make a difference in axle articulation as far as how high off the ground the axle is? I wonder how much difference between the two set-ups there would be if both trucks ran the same size tire?

How much has been stripped out of the stock Disco?
It does not look like it has the motor in it and a lot of other stuff appears to have been taken out.
