: you guys seen gremillions new rig? cheROCKee 02-09-2003, 02:37 PM what do you guys think? kinda went out on a limb doing full independent. heres the link for those of you who havent seen it yet http://www.truckworld.com/trail-trucks/02-gremillion_shark/02-gremillion_shark.html what do you think? jstarnes 02-09-2003, 02:44 PM :flipoff2: old news by the way:eek: grimbo 02-09-2003, 02:48 PM Isn't that about 8 months old, just the article:rolleyes: rEdNEcKwHeE1eR 02-09-2003, 04:18 PM DAMN! I thought you guys were talking about a remake of the AMC Gremilin. :flipoff2: cheROCKee 02-09-2003, 04:31 PM ya i heard about it a long time ago too but i figured it would spark some good solid vs independent discussions. personally im undecided. PIG 02-09-2003, 04:32 PM I like all the bends............... Bgcj5 02-09-2003, 04:36 PM I think it looks pretty cool. It is similar to and idea I have had kicking around my head.

UHHHHH independant clearly sucks on the rocks cheROCKee 02-09-2003, 04:41 PM i think its a pretty slick setup and for independent suspension its pretty nice being that it has lots of clearance (portal hubs) and looks like it has a super low center of gravity and if it rolled it looks like it would roll right back onto its tires. what do the new independent suspension buggys perform like in the comps for all you competition goers? i dont really get how independent would be a good thing in all but a very few situations in rockkrawling but im not an expert either. TRD 02-09-2003, 04:51 PM they do very shitty in comps smalltimewheeler 02-09-2003, 04:53 PM Randy Ellis got third in baja. Not saying i would ever go to it. Jeepmangled87 02-09-2003, 04:57 PM Yeah what Tracy said, Me Ill stick with my solid axles, but its a hell of a good way to be light weight, Shanon did it in the front in the caddy, but now he has a new rig, back to tera 60 in the front:confused: cheROCKee 02-09-2003, 06:08 PM ok i guess i get the unsprung weight thing the weight over here counteracts the weight over here and good flex keeps the body and chassis straight while the tires and rolling stock go all over the place but why exactly is a locked independents suspension setup so bad? blk87K5 02-09-2003, 06:10 PM Do a search. This topic has been beaten to death.

Say that again in english. My "Yoda" filter isn't working today... reddwarf 02-09-2003, 07:22 PM I think mine is working....... :filter on: Originally posted by cheROCKee : I think it will work good Dirty Harry 02-09-2003, 07:28 PM I thought that his rig was made out of SQUARE tube? Did he redo it? :confused: I seem to recall this coming up when Mossberg and 408_Jigga were arguing with everyone about round vs. square tubing. | |
