Its not very complicated process u just have some knowledge of engines and u have to make 3 engine and gear mounting to fit this engine in 800. make sure that alignment is correct.

how it performs over boulders/rocks -- assuming that it has 4x4.
Great effort mate. Will drop by to drive it if ever I am passing by
Ludhiana.
PS: Rear is looking a bit bland and the window/glass is TOO big -- just
a personal opinion... |
hi. thank you very much mr khan.. u are most welcome. thanks again for
ur comments.

The front /side view is beautiful : the rear bumper could have been more
solid-looking, and the spare wheel could have been retained, I feel. |

I have two questions although. Does your present suspension setup allow
any normal suspension movements to soak up the road irregularities? And
how does the vehicle handle on the roads and especially while taking
turns? |
yes this present suspension has 3 accumulators(2booth sides 1 rear) to
soak up the road irregularities.. handling is very good very comfortable
on good roads, but u have to careful while taking turns when suspension
is fully lifted. thanks

hi. its not mechanical possible to install 4X4 when the suspension is
hydraulically adjustable between 0-13inch. so drive shaft must increase
and decrease in length which is not possible. see bellow

What is the point of the hydraulics? Do they provide any type of utility? Looking as the pictures, the suspension does not look like if has much of compliance (other than the tires). I don't see any springs or dampers whatsoever! Is the ride is very harsh with the vehicle bouncing and jumping over even small bumps on the road? This could be very dangerous at even low speeds.
It could be a nice capable Jeep if you went back to leaf springs or better yet coils. |
Hi..finally you break the ice.. thanks for your comments..

you want to know the point of hydraulics well let me ask u something what is the point of having 4X4 , Powerful engine instead of stock , N.O.S and other modifications. Its all about being different, being unique, being noticeable. Its just for hobby, its for the satisfaction of mind. There are thousand of 4X4 jeeps in our country but most of then never use 4X4. So its better doing something different than being similar.
I made this jeep bcoz nobody had done this before in India.
As far springs and damper is concern let me tell u that this jeep has 3 accumulator to soak up the road irregularities. So the vehicle is not bouncing and jumping over small bumps.
Why the way don’t worry I m going to start new project. Its going to be a pure offroader M&M550.
Best Regards
