The Phantom Of City Sadar Road

[fouadhafeez]

I would suggest is you should do a trial run some where which is challenging for the phantom and decide if it really needs diff locks. As per me with such huge tires power should be the main problem taking it up climbs not traction, further more you dont plan to do serious rock crawling or do you:wink:

Diff Locks should come in once you are perfectly comfortable mechanically with the car and also have some experience of how it behaves in offroad situations. Its going to take you some time to tame the monster as it stands.... Adding diff locks does put added stress on the drivetrain and also creates potentially dangerous situations at times because the driver cannot initially judge exactly what is going on with each tire (whether its in the air or on the ground etc)..... So the diff locks can come later, enjoy the offroading in the meantime!

More Videos, more videos!!!!

As always, gentlemen...your advice is sane, safe, practicable, and very very welcome, indeed. God bless you both, Suhaib and qwertypoiu!

The reverse is actually true, Boss. Inn projects ne mujhe tame lar liya hai. The fact that everything MAY appear to be under control is just an optical illusion!

The peopel living in Dha Orchard Lane must have heard ALOTA noise Wondering if construction is being taking place Love the tire case Saw this in Gawalmandi 2 weeks back i guess, impressed when i saw it. More impressed knowing that its being made by sucha capable mind

Actually, this is the site where I snapped one of the Phantom's tie-rod ends a few days earlier. I simply HAD to go back and retry...it was the right thing to do.

I know it sounds almost unbelievable, but the Phantom is ready.

The body work is complete (Alhamdolillah), and it's pretty much turned out to be exactly the way I wanted it. Monday, it goes to get itself a coat of astar. We're using black astar for the beast...let's see how it turns out.

Nice hard work(more of the restrain and patience though)done so far.I have seen your rig in its adoption of various shapes right from its stock configuration to the current status..Hats of to you for doing these kind of radical designs is not an every day job since all these guys are trained to do run of the mill and routine jobs with no imagination or adhering to the specs required for the job to be done at times..I have been into projects of all kinds through out my life and have come to this conclusion that these guys have the ability to kill your project along with your desire any time they want to if you do not adhere to your target dates and objectives!Anyways congrats on getting your dream machine as per your desires!

I kept a very simple approach...

Me: "Ustaad Ji...aap se yeh yeh kaam karwana hai. Kitne paise honge, aur kaam kab khatam hoga?"
Ustaad Ji: "Saab Ji...iss ke dus hazaar rupaiye honge, aur kaam 20 July ko khatam ho jaaye ga"
Me: "naien, Ustaad Ji. Iss ke mein gyaarah hazaar rupaiye doonga. Aur agar kaam 20 July tak na hua, tau aap ki dukaan ko aag laga doonga, aap ke auzaar ko aag laga doonga, aur aap ko Pindi zilley se hijrat karne pe majboor kar doonga. Samjhey kiya?"

Just kidding. To be honest, though, I've been lucky in getting a true Dream Team of technicians / craftsmen / workers for this project...otherwise it simply could NOT have been undertaken, let alone have reached completion. And when I say "completion", that too, is a bit of a misnomer...because this project will never truly be "completed". I have the feeling that in weeks and months to come, it'll continue to simply evolve, and we'll continue to push the envelope in terms of design, function, form, performance, and aesthetics.

Of course, all of this wouldn't have been possible without the support that this project has been getting from so many friends and acquaintances, alike. In that way, this vehicle is very much a progeny of this thread...where crazed truckers and wild-eyed enthusiasts have gathered, and merged advice/argument, and performance/passion, and ergonomics/aesthetics into the monster that the Phantom truly is. So here, I'd like to reiterate my thanks to all the supporters (both vocal and silent), whose good wishes have been intrinsic to the design philosophy, and the actual rebuild process.

The roller-coaster-ride, though...continues!

This rig is going to rock the 4x4 world in our country! Saaalute!
Damn proud that you did this!
