Territory Offroad

Bit of a bad Joke this one 😒

It really is a pretty cool Territory considering it's been manual converted using a FG TR6060 gearbox.

Breaking a CV shaft on Moon Rock Lithgow. Resulted in a CV change in the rain, mud and dark. Ford Territory.

Currently sitting on the side of a hill held in place by a winch contemplating my life choices 🤣

Going to be a cool video....

It’s been a little while between filming this one and finally getting it up, but it’s definitely a video worth sharing! 😎

Not everything goes to plan when you’re pushing an old Ford Territory hard off-road… and not everything works first time around either! 😂

This trip up Watson’s Road in the Glasshouse Mountains turned into a much bigger mission than expected, with things breaking, some questionable roadside repairs and plenty of frustration along the way. 🔧💥

If you enjoy seeing the reality of building and abusing an off-road Territory — including the stuff that DOESN’T go to plan — check out the full video on YouTube! 🍿

The big Ford Territory is back out on Watson’s Road in the Glasshou...

Another quick test of the big off-road Territory! 💪

A few clips from taking on Watson’s Road in the Glasshouse Mountains. I’d been having trouble with the rear diff bearing cap backing out, and after a few failed fixes, I decided to drill and tap it and lock it down with a bolt.

This was only meant to be a quick test to see if it would hold up… turns out it worked perfectly! 😎🔥

FG Falcon suspension into a SY Territory.

So the last video turned out to be bit of a Hot Topic and not just about me not wearing safety boots. Now I think the true reason why I done this conversion got a bit lost in translation. Pretty much other than the FG Falcon cradle and steering rack I don't actually plan to use any other part of the standard suspension. Now that I know I can make it work I plan to run a full adjustable lock kit for drifting.

Anyway here's a bit more info on how the FG Falcon factory suspension ended up working out.

The front studs almost lined up. For the two front studs I ended up having to notch out the cradle as the Territory studs were closer together compared to the Falcon cradle. The location pins on the Falcon cradle lined up perfectly to the Territory chassis. Well the Territory rear passenger stud lined up perfectly it wasn't long enough. The rear passenger one I cut the cradle down and welded plate in so that you could get a nut on. The stud wasn't long enough to go through the Falcon cradle otherwise. Driver's side you will have to drill, sleeve and add another bolt. The two Territory middle studs didn't end up being needed. That's basically all that's needed to get the cradle to bolt in.

The collapsible steering shaft also needed to be cut down by 50mm and welded back together to work with the FG steering rack. Other then that it bolts in. Obviously the steering rack hydraulic lines aren't the same. Custom lines would have to be made if looking to run it with a factory pump. I'm running a Astra pump so will just buy fittings to suit.

The big issue I come across was the fact that the Falcon doesn't have the same wheel track as the Territory. FG Falcon 1583-1586mm and Territory 1626mm. My upper control arm mounts we're already redrilled so the factory Territory suspension had a good amount of negative camber. Due to the Falcon not having the same wheel track even with the mounts redrilled it pretty much brung the camber back to zero. I also run 35mm bolt on wheel spaces along with 18x9 positive 18 offset rim's. If using standard Territory rims they would be sitting well inside the fenders.

The Territory brake calipers also won't bolt straight to the Falcon knuckles. You can buy the adaptors cheap to make them work.

I have BA Falcon coilovers in the car right now and had to add 10mm of spacers to my them work with the FG Falcon lower arm. I couldn't say how factory FG shocks would work for ride height. I plan to but FG Falcon adjustable coilovers.

After making all this work you also need to remember you will now have to run a FG Falcon sump, oil pick-up, engine mounts and engine mount brackets.

But anyway hopefully this helps. Would I do this if I wasn't going to run the lock kit NO.

Out with the Territory in with the Falcon

So starts the FG Falcon front cradle and suspension conversion. The size difference is amazing. FG arm's and knuckles been made of aluminium keep the weight down but I'm actually doing this conversion for other reasons. Unlike the Territory you can get full lock kit's for a FG Falcon.... more information soon.

This video should get a few "do you even lift" or "your posture sucks" comments at least 😆 🏋‍♂️ 💩

Last minute rear suspension rebuild on the lifted SY Territory ready for All Ford Day tomorrow.

Queensland's All Ford Day is happening tomorrow at Willowbank Raceway.

It's a great day out with lot's of cars on show, dyno runs, drag racing, swap meet and all the normal trade and food stalls.

With the old lifted SX Territory showing it's age and hard life it won't be there this year and well I've been working non stop on the black Drift Territory build it also won't be ready in time this year.

Still if you're around come say hi. I'll have a few stickers to give out as well.

Few progress pictures to go with the last video. Front tube fabrication is done! 🤘 Every bracket, cut and weld got the Territory one step closer to hitting the track. What do you reckon so far? 🔥

Got some of the Car Builders heat shield on the firewall this afternoon.

Next job on this to do list is new brake lines.

Making progress on the tube front end.
