Extreme Gypsy

LKCRUISERS · 20th November 2010, 14:04

Decided to build a Vehicle for the Warn 8274, light weight and on a diet.

Toyota 7K Engine. Maruti Gear Box, Maruti Axles. Simex 32 x 9.50 R 16.

@ LKCRUISERS,
Your Gypsy looks like she is doing training at Gym everyday & heavy on diet

but, its really looking amazing with higher ground clearance & changed ride height using different suspensions.
I am sure that your have done some kind of modifications with installing Toyota 7K engine in Gypsy's engine room, so please do post some WIP i.e. Work In Progress pics also if possible.

Apologize as there was no time to take the pictures as this was a 72 hour job. Started on 14th Morning and completed to run the Taprobana 4x4 challenge on 16th Morning. No Sleep.

Only Gypsy dreams when we got some sleep

Hey Super job Superman. It would be good if you could share details of your build here for all to understand.

What interests me is the Coil spring perch points and the Toyota 7k Engine to Gypsy GB points.

Nice job.

Wow.. Gypsy with coil springz.
Superb articulation.
Congrats. Wonderful job in 72hrs.

Nice articulation. i wonder how it will perform in real world situation and offroad terrain.

IMHO, Whoever did the Coils on Gypsy, the owners were not happy with the performance

Please have a look at this pic Sir Alec ,, the owner of this coil sprung Gypsy were extremely happy and the setup was also very reliable according to them.

Coil overs super kewl! Can you please give us more details of the mod, was it a kit or custom built?

Its a petrol engine. about 1900cc produces a decent 80bhp, i maybe wrong.

It based on old push rod design.

Hi Sean,

This is an amazing make-over given to a Maruti Gypsy.

What about the Differential Locks? ARB or Auto-Lockers.

Please post some pics of this Gypsy in action at Taprobana 2010.

Regards,

Arka
