I am rebuilding an ex-army 99 MM550XD 4x4 into my daily driver cum off-roader. This vehicle is the first project for my workshop specializing in off-road vehicles.
The vehicle will be overhauled and modified to improve its off-road capabilities.
It will receive:
- 33" tyres
- The final drive ratio will be changed from 4.88 to 5.875
- A shackle lift
- Softer rear suspension
- The anti-roll bar will be removed
- Differential guards
- Rock sliders
- A roll cage for the driver and co-driver
- The fuel tank will be lifted
- Snorkel air intake
- Water resistant electricals
- HID headlamps
The doors have been removed as I found them to be quite a nuisance on my 540. The B pillar will be chopped. Detachable fabric doors will serve as protection from the elements.
I will eventually install a PTO winch and replace the rear LSD with a differential lock.
The vehicle will be capable of fording 1500mm of water.
With my old MM540's wheels and tyres
The body removed for painting
Wishing you all the Luck !!
