i just downloaded a four link calculator to my pc.still trying to figure it out:shaking: wondering if anyone has some good pics or info on a four link rear scoutII.thanks

if your looking for a kit try: http://www.dandcextreme.com/index.asp

other than that, just search through the build threads (not just ih, try jeep toyota and other) and get some ideas.

thanks , i have seen the kits that Snoopy offers, and have been lookin in the jeep hardcore forum, was kinda hopin for some dimensions more IH specific to build my own linked rear.once i figure out this damn calculator i will be ok.:confused:

The calculator doesn't work with Firefox, use IE.

Looks pretty good nice work.

thanks it is alot further along now. pulled off the fenders and coated the inner fender with plastic coat bedliner

the chasis has been finished for a while 2.5" lift springs, dandc reverse shackle , and dana44 front and rear. i really wan't to link the rear but i hate to think i wasted the money on the springs

Your going to four link a D44??? Why?

Because it's trendy?

yeah i just want do the next happenin mod:flipoff2:
i don't see any problem linking a 44 a 14 bolt would be better but that is what i have, and i want the the link for the articulation

This is more funny than you know.:laughing:

Better get a big can of turd polish. Disc brakes, FF kit and cro mo axles are in your future. :flipoff2:

ehh, 44 rears aren't that bad. a 1-ton axle will happen in your future most likely, but 44 rears are stronger than a stock 79 or earlier d60 front. unlike a d44 front, VERY unlike a d44 front.

your front axle will be your tire size limiter.

Yeah. I got about $1200 into my 44 rear. I'm happy with it. Would I link it up, probably not. But whatever. I see the guys point. At least all the links will be there for when he does upgrade.

Shit I have 1400 into my ARB 35 spline cromo axle D60!

I couldn't build a 60 with what I wanted that cheap. I have the super offset waggy rear to match my T-case output. Plus its lighter and has better clearance. It suits my rig and my needs just fine.

So what did you want???

Pic & Pull D60 90.00
ARB 650.00
Dutchman 1.5” 35 spline axles 350.00
Ford Motorsport 11” disc kit 300.00
Set 20 housing ends 65.00

damn thats cheap pic and pull d 60 for 90.00 locally they are about 300.00
any way i had planed on the chromo upgrade for the 44.it shouldn't break in the mall parking lot:D. plus i saw a pic in peterson 4x4 of a j@@p guy with a linked d35 and runnin 38" tires " the pic showed him changin out a broke axle." but any way i figure a 44 will serve me fine for now. i plan on a full width axle swap eventually anyway.

d60 rears bring the suck.

I got my d70hd 4.10 rear for 100, and a new lockrite for it for 230 off of ebay.

What he wanted was an offset rear end -- so Add $400 for re tubing a D60...
:shaking: What you posted is a great rear end -- don't get me wrong -- just not what Binderbound needed...

My rear on the other hand is an uber cheap boat anchor:

Craigslist 14 bolt $150
Gears (new) $200
Mile of mig wire for locker $2
Disc brake brackets $100
Brake hardware $200
Misc crap $100

Excellent for linking :D

How did we get so far off track, when we know the OP will probably buy tractor heims and schedule 40 pipe for his set up? :flipoff2::flipoff2:

hellll yeah done called Tactor supply and had em hold me a set of them there hiems. instead of schedule 40 i was gonna use some handles of some old floor jacks i have hunted up what do you think ????:flipoff2:

Love how everyone jumps on the band wagon bashing tractor heims....:laughing:

Did someone say "turd polish"???? :flipoff2::flipoff2::flipoff2:

When I built my rear end I wanted FF. I wanted offset. I wanted to use the same bearings, brakes, hubs, etc on all 4 corners.

My long side axle shaft is 41" long. How long was that 60 driver side shaft? I can't read the 'paint' with my phone browser.

Like I said before. It was built for exactly what I needed. If I ever dreamed of running a V-8, I never would have used it.

:gasp: You mean that fancy buggy of yours that you wheel every weekend is running. . tractor heims??!! The horror!

:D

How many have you had to replace over the years, Rick?

I have never HAD to replace one but have replaced them all a couple times. At about $140 next day air mailed to my front door for all 16 I can afford to replace them once in while to keep things in like new condition.:smokin:

Why not? I'll go around anything you and your junk will attempt :flipoff2:

hell yeah i copied that same pic to my pc and was gonna post it but never got a chance. glad somebody stepped in i felt like i would have been burned at the stake if i didn't convert to a one ton axle. :shaking:one thing has been proven. shit will break with enough throttle and the right condition even 35 spline d 60's will go pop.:D

Why not? I'll go around anything you and your junk will attempt :flipoff2:

:shaking::shaking:Looks a little lighter than a full body scout II.

still turning over 38.5 's thats gotta mean something for its strength...

:shaking::shaking:Looks a little lighter than a full body scout II.

But twice the power and gearing. I would say its a wash really.

60's aren't the end all. Everything has a limit. Let's not forget about binder breaking his 60 right in the middle of the tube. Or breaking the knuckle off before that. He runs a tube chassi buggy.

Broke the knuckle off 3 times.:shaking:.........
If you push your machine to it's limits things like that are going to happen.:(

Thats what I'm getting at. 44's are good for a lot of stuff but super duper extreme, hardcore wheelin isnt it. His rig is full bodied on 35's. I doubt hes gonna see the same trails you did. If he was building a tube chassi jungle gym with CO's and what not, it would be a different story.

Ok you got me there BUT...

I have 300hp and 400lbs of tq and 38.5 SX's (heavy ass 38's at that) Any of you that have wheeled with me know I'm one of ''those'' guys that is out to break something :D Don't get me wrong I have broke plenty of parts but, I have also gone around plenty of broken D60 parts :laughing:
