🚀 Welcome to the Des Sol 4x4 Adventure Hardware Series! 🚗💨
Join us on an epic journey in this second episode of our iconic project, as we transform a Suzuki Gen 3 into a one-of-a-kind rig with custom trailing arms, a differential swap, and a full engine rebuild. Powered by the expertise of Ross Champion and TyreLife Solutions, this adventure promises thrills like no other.
In this episode, we dive deep into chassis modifications, with Warwick and Lynton leading the way, accompanied by their signature banter. Witness Lynton back on the welding machine, and Warwick overseeing the process with a mix of excitement and concern - all part of the excitement!
If you missed the full first episode, fear not! You can catch it on our KZfaq channel, where we showcase the cutting and initial extension of the magnificent "Black Betty." In this installment, get ready to be wowed by the machining of aluminum trailing arms and the grand reveal of our state-of-the-art EV1 Suspension - a mono tube external reservoir designed to conquer any challenge, fully rebuildable, adjustable valve stack, and backed by a 8 Year limited lifetime warranty.
Our trailing arms have come a long way, starting as a hefty 25kg billet of aluminum and now weighing a mere 8kg, all in preparation to conquer Africa's most demanding terrains. But the adventure doesn't stop there. We've designed and manufactured a superior Jimny suspension, tailored by Jimny drivers, for Jimny drivers - because nothing but the best will do for Des Sol!
Stay tuned as we continue with the Black Betty Build. Warwick and Lynton have invested countless hours in meticulous measurements and planning, bringing us just moments away from completing the fully extended chassis. With our skilled welder, Philani, ensuring perfection, the installation of differentials and drivetrain is right around the corner.
As we press forward, we're excited to introduce JD from TyreLife Solutions, who has generously provided new rubber for both Black Betty and Silver Fox, guaranteeing unbeatable traction for our exhilarating adventures. An upcoming episode will delve into all the details and what's in store for our collaboration with TyreLife Solutions.
Get a sneak peek of the stunning trailing arms, ready for installation. Witness the action as we bolt them up, position the differentials, and fine-tune every aspect to ensure a flawless fit. Of course, we encounter challenges, as it's all part of the excitement when creating the ultimate Jimny monster by combining parts and components from various vehicles.
