vlad01 - October 10th, 2011 at 08:27 AM

naylor_james - October 10th, 2011 at 06:55 PM

each to their own I guess?

bitemeoz - October 12th, 2011 at 12:35 PM

lets see a photo of yours vlad and we can compare

vlad01 - October 12th, 2011 at 08:33 PM

This is sort of how I would have it minus the roof rack and about an inch higher and not so much bling :smilegrin:

Mine is partially stripped and sitting on blocks at the front atm so ain't much to look at. Bit of an irrelevant comparison don't ya think?

naylor_james - October 12th, 2011 at 09:08 PM

They are both nice.... Each one gas a different purpose though and are both great at serving that purpose... There's value in both im sure everyone can agree on that.. vlad u say this is a type 1 beam conversion.. Is there any more info you can offer me about it or at least point me in te right direction?? I've been trying for donkeys years to get info ok getting a narrowed beam to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated!!

try the type 3 section on the samba, that topic is a beaten horse that died long ago.

Don't start a new thread, you will get flamed for it, just search and you will find heaps of threads about them. The samba classifieds have them for sale.

If you do a conversion can I have your old beam :lol:

can never have too many spares

How are you mate ?
That is one very nice notch isn't it
Pretty sure yours will be equally as nice, just by the pics I have seen of your work thus far,
Nath

bitemeoz - October 14th, 2011 at 09:08 PM

yes irrelevant, enough said.

esevwbits - October 15th, 2011 at 08:12 AM

the original white one at the top looks fantastic.
those radars work very well on it.

Vlad, like you said each to their own. i know i wouldn't be caught dead in a purple notchy.

yes thats right, each to their own, people need to note thats is personal opinions not bagging out.

If people don't take it to heart then they don't get mad, I know I don't.

id roll a late purple notch any day, rare color to boot

notchpan - October 25th, 2011 at 06:19 PM

Sorry I'm late... the beam is type 1 with willwood discs..Raw auto works do this type of work. Ps..nice black notch

vlad01 - October 26th, 2011 at 11:10 AM

how did you legally get that on the road with willwood calipers? and the type 1 beam for the matter of fact?

notchpan - October 26th, 2011 at 04:08 PM

Tt is about 6 inch narrowed king and link pin beam 2.5 inch dropped spindles . I have also put short axles in the rear now .

vlad01 - October 26th, 2011 at 07:48 PM

hhmmm? don't be going to a roadworthy then or going around a roundabout more than 5km/h lmao.

How much worse does it handle over the stock setup may I ask?

ridiculous statement

5lam - November 1st, 2011 at 02:24 PM

Why does everyone assume they handle worse just because the suspension isn't stock??

Back on topic - Thats a great looking Notch! Damn I love those wheels
