Welding porn :icon_super:

Amazing workmanship and skill........... we need to see this in the flesh. :icon_super:
-
Its ghay it will never work :003:
-
I was tired after the first half of the first page, someone will have to tell me what happens :003:
-
Right up my street at the mo........... cos it was all 4 linky and stuff.........
Can see I'll be researching this for the next year................ never one to rush in :jpshakehead: :icon_twisted:
-
I see you've been busy...
-
nicw build from scratch but is the articulation realistic ?
-
In what sense do you mean is it realistic?
If you mean can it do that then yes thats how it will articulate then yes that is what it will do when finished. Its not just for posing.
If your asking the greatly debated does lots of travel really help then I think everybody has their opinions. I have off roaded for along time in a hell of alot of different cars and personally think its fantastic.

by the question is that exactly, even though the chassis flexes to that amount will you be still expecting the same once the bodywork and ancillaries are put back into place.
Flex is more important than lift but each has a big cost involved to get there. Nice work
-
A yeah, it will flex like that with the body work yeah as in there is hardly any left.
Cheers

One word: Awesome!

4 link front..........nice..........is that at full bump or will top arms of 4 link come closer to sump with the airbumps..?
-

Like the use of Dimple dies........ Kin expensive to get over here ........all over the place like a rash in septic land..???
-
Why coilover?
-
Why coilover?
its better than fallover :greggmo:
-
But that's exactly my point fooooking things are shiet!!
-
But that's exactly my point fooooking things are shiet!!
eh :017:
whats the alternatives? ori's??
I am getting to grips with my airshocks, they will be awesome when I've finished tweeking, but it does involve excel sheets as for different applications/ loads the settings are different....but oh my :greggmo:
-
Like I said to you some time ago, airshock are OK but when you go ORI it's another level.
Coilovers are unpredictable, helper spring, bump stop, nitro, warm-up and all that jizz....
-
Bugger.... Got me researching ORI now haven' t you?
anyway one of the beauties with 16" travel will set you back $612 :hysterical:
-
16" travel KN'ell what are you planning, putting a leg into the next shire?
-
8 up and 8 down??? Gotta compete with these Willys boys...... :icon_super:
Just a thought for the 4 link rear treatment of the 1 Tonne.... Open to suggestions? though not to hijack this thread!
-
It don't count for shiet 12" works (depending on tyres) and it's stable, go for the tummy tuck and suck down, no use having your balls dangling about!!
-
There are plenty of coilovered trucks out thre that work so I can't imagine its fair to say they are shite. I agree ORI's are very highly spoke of but they are expensive and when i bought these they were in heard of. I like a lot of travel and so long as your not adding it to a top heavy turd there is no reason it cant work.
-
My experiences with coilovers have been for two vehicles, firstly the Mafia a TJ Wrangler heavily modified, bilstein 9100 front (coil spring rear) bugger to set up and the lower collar seat let go more than once!! Secondly Strikeone the Diablo buggy had FOX coilovers front and air rear never felt comfortable, bit like the feeling you get at the point of no return.
So my experience is real life but you have another view and that's what makes as all different.

A mate of mine came down today and wanted to see her flexing

Often wonder if Air bumps ought to be at an angle for monster articulation like this???? Just a thought?
-

why :017:
-
We were having the same conversation today im not sure I need a bump stop at full flex but defo want them at full bump. The only way to have both would be to mount them in the same plain as the shocks but then on a hard landing the forces would not be direct to the bumps they would be at an angle. It's all a learning curve. The teat drive will be pre paint so we can answer questions like this and possibly adapt. Time will tell

basically Tis what Big patrol says.......
You need them at full stuff at speed........ No arguement
But at monster articulation if they make contact at an angle they will get rogered or bent or jammed.......or......maybe as Big Patrol says they aren't really needed.......as lI said was just a thought looking at things contacting at an angle and looking like they won't work in a healthy way......Only a test off road will decide :icon_super:
-
I took them off the Mafia, they just get in the way of things and speed/jumps was never my thing.
Keep It Simple And Light!!!
-
i understand, maybe some rubber on the lca''s would suffice?
-
Tried that!!! You will find it needs to have the foot print of the Ark Royal to find the sweet spot.

Jaysus man! That is some serious articulation! Lovin the build thread, she's gonna be an awesome machine....
-
I do intend to go at speed that's why they are there, when I'm doing kov I'm expecting to get airborne once or twice :icon_super:

That will be when the air ambulance has to come and pick you up then :eusa_whistle:
-
Surely tha normal ambulance will be able to get to the kov carpark where he will have broken down....? Or he has gone down on mr isle of man when he has lost the bet.
