Ta03 58161 Question

[infernox]

boo boo its a ta02 sorry typo

ola peeps

i tried fitting my pajeros wheels on my f150 58161 last night, but now the ta02 doesnt want to turn? why is this? did the 58161 come with longer front arms?

The Pajero (58132) and the F150 (58161) have identical wheels. In fact if you look on the inside of the rim you will see 58132 on them.

What is stopping the wheels from turning?

i know they got the same wheels. i dont know they dont wanna turn on the f150, asif the arms are either too short or the bumpers in the way, but iif thats the case, wha tdid the 58161 come out with instead of the bumper or short arms?

because tyhe wheels fit perfectly into the arches. looks aewesome

The Ford F150 is basically a TA01 chassis, but it has a short front bumper to allow for the larger wheels to turn when steering. However the kit comes with the same E-parts tree which has the original bumper - it is just not used. Maybe your chassis has the wrong bumper fitted.

You can see a comparison of the chassis and suspension setups of the TA01/02 and stadium trucks in my showroom here:

You could just trim the ends of the bumper until you have enough clearance.

Im trying to restore to original. So i dont wana mod it. Does sum1 here not have a spare?

Your best bet is to try posting a wanted ad in the TC traderoom, or have a trawl through ebay. As Terry says, just trim the existing bumper to get it running for now.
