heres how it sits atm, smashed out a quick nerf type bar one night after work, still waiting on hydro bumps/ anti-rock swaybar. then the cert guy can come tell me why it cant be certed ( hope that it can be)
-
whipped up a quick front bar and checked front a rear flex again, really need two forklifts haha the bro standanding at the end is probably about 6ft for reference. im not shooting for big flex a such as its not really critical for high speed dune bashing but its sorta just turned out this way with the rear 4 link, front doesnt flex as much due to front radius arm set up ( still way more than a factory patrol/saf how ever) which is fine due to desired handling characteristics the radius arm set up provides such as anti dive etc..
-
heres some photos of the front shock mounts/ engine cage
-
made some progress, pictures can talk for them selves, build has slowed alittle due to moving house and saving up dosh for parts. flexes out heeeaaps, need to get a sway bar and play with secondary spring rates.
-
yeah i had springs etc in didnt bother with the dual rate adjusters i might give it another flex but jack the front wheel on the otherside at the same time and see what happens, will 100% run a sway bar, i need to lose 5" of shock up travel on articulation but maintain full shock uptravel on diff moving up and down as one.. i thought of runnning a hilux/navara/ isuzu mu front torsion bar as a sway bar as it would be rather stiff
-
flex bro, i stroped it up to the engine crane and pulled up a rear wheel and just keeps flexing till it hits either shocks chassis or rear cage which is heeaps, i had one wheel at like 750mm off the ground and one still on the ground with 200mm+ to go might have to get a custom sway away bar, trophy trucks have same problem and use a hearty stiff sway bar to get around it im fairly sure
-
same haha maybe not to same extent but i hope for the best, build has progressed further will find some time to update soon
-
oh sweet, i have waay to much flex so hoping a sway bar will limit flex but still allow full shock travel when the axle moves up and down as one.
-
yo, how much did that off road sway bar limit flex?
-
aint no vegiterian

heres abit more of the radius arm mods, people have been doing them with heim joints but i think a bushed joint like the johnny joint is a longer lasting and nicer options
