78_7kRolla Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 The guy who makes them was in one of those beaut utes books, don't know if your familiar with the series but yeah. Ok i will put the picture description before the image from now on. :wink::yes: Quote
Trev Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 It looked alot like my dads mates turbo morris ute with stepside rear except his hasnt got mudflaps and crap, How do they do the engines on them, They still RR format? Quote
JiP Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Posted January 17, 2008 I was thinking the same thing. I'd assume it could have a faulse floor in the tray. Quote
Trev Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Might be as the Kombi utes are a high bed and that uste has a tray ontop of the bed so the bed might be just for looks. Quote
78_7kRolla Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Yes. the tray is basically for looks as the RR format lays intact. The trays are only a couple of cm deep. Quote

Toy-Yoda[RL] Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 toy yoda, my hat goes off to you son for that intense rolla jump. u got skills. wats it feel like to land a car from that hieght? ive launched 2-3 foot doing 60-70kms but sshhiittttttt dude. you havnt just takin the cake, u baked that sucker and ate the whole thing. nice work. cheers, scott Thankyou kindly, No real skills involved, just boredom, spare cash, and too many Red Bulls. (gives you wiiiiiiings, you know?) :D The first part you need to understand is that the seat in that car was stuffed, the springs in the middle of the cusion bit you sit on had mostly collapsed, leaving a dip, fine for belting through corners, because it kinda held me in better, but the landing(s) were positively brutal, landing it was agony after about 5 jumps, mostly in the upper thigh, but my back copped a lot of pressure too, (not to mention the whiplash from the jumps that went bad) never flipped it, I was lucky, but next time there will be a better seat, and a LOT more padding. 2-3 foot isn't bad, what were you launching off? my launch speed was only about 60, but like I said, steep ass hill. The next car I take out that way will get higher again. I can't wait....... I like cake. Thanks, glad you enjoyed my pics....... Oh, here's one for parting, this was the landing from jump photo #1, this will give you an idea of how hard the car was landing. Yup, suspension compressed, tyres compressed, chassis was still what stopped me, parts of the floorpan actually flexed enough to hit the deck too! Excuse the shitty quality of the pic, screen capture from vid again. Quote
h1_roll4 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 yeah man bulk respect. me n my mates have jump many a car but thats just f@$kin insane. Quote
7shades Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 We had a jump we called '3 potato'... cos when you hit sky you start counting "one potato, two potato..." until you acquired the planet again :D Had a datto stanza to do it in, we managed to separate the body from the floorpan. 'Twas fun. Quote
Toy-Yoda[RL] Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Went out for a drive today, to do a bit of filming for a little project I'm working on........ Part of it involved me seeing if the humble hatch could go where the old taliwagon went, so we armed ourselves with copious amounts of junk food, and a carton of chilled coke, and set off, aiming for the northern fire tower outside of Beakonsfield........... Just for fun, a story in pictures....... Setting off, old and busted and the taliwagon-ute-thing :2thumbs: On our way to the top........ These trails feel twice or maybe three times more brutal in a hatch compared to my Hilux......... Finally, after much wheel-spinning (The front passenger tyre copped it on a rock, car stopped, wheel kept on spinning......... "it all happened so fast!" lol ) and back-up-and-try-agains, we made it to the top, and it was worth it for the view, these pictures just can't even begin to describe how far you can see, and how clear and crisp it is up there.......... Posing shot #1 Posing shot #2 Posing shot #3 The view from the top of the fire tower looking North East.......... (it really does come in handy knowing the local fireys) View from the top of the fire tower looking looking North West View Down We had lunch (4pm), then started to make our way back down, stopping for pose opportunities on the way......... You never realize just how steep something is until you go to drive down it......... Left the trails and started heading home, the long way, and of course, I found puddles........ Ever seen a kid wearing gumboots in the rain? Thats me, just a car instead of a pair of gumboots............ And as per normal, I have so much fun that I forget to check the depth of the big ones........... The word here was "Bollocks" This was cause for much laughter......... 25 minutes and a snapped tow rope later, the hatch was back on asphalt, cruising happily home, couple more scratches, a little less tread (particularly the passenger front), and a little dirtier than when it left home, but still running like a dream.......... I love corollas......... :hmm: Edited January 21, 2008 by Toy-Yoda Quote
KE70-from-mt-panorama Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Nice work mate. Glad to see your keen to take the rolla anywhere. Inspiration for anyone else to go 4wd-ing in a small car??? Quote
