Praga Truck Trialer


Recommended Posts

Got to have a play with Robs modified Praga Truck. Its being built for trialing and yet more modifications are planned after the weekends testing/playing. Comments on approach angles, correct ditch crossing procedure etc are more than welcome but not needed as all drivers are either nutters or experienced offroad drivers. :nut:

What a cute little truck sure looks fun done anything else to it apart from bigger wheels

 

Couple of things - rear axles moved apart by 8", 25" taken out of chassis between front and middle axles, rear of chassis cut, springs removed from rear axles to soften up suspension, New fuel tank made out of Zil air tank mounted on rear of cab, modified straight through exhaust, chains fitted to reduce axle movement, props lengthened or shortened as needed, new injection pump, lift pump and modern fuel filters fitted, removal of all electrics apart from Battery and start button (no alternator for charging), removal of bird seed from number 2 cylinder head, and a few other things I cant remember.

 

few jobs to do - need to raise gear/transfer box at least 10" ( big problem as the prop going to middle axle is very short already and will break with articulation) , remove oil sump and raise ( maybe dry sump it), fit bars to front axle to stop sideways movement and also locking diff and change steering to hydraulic with two rams - minor items like seatbelts and roll cage can be done later .
