i just can't believe some ppl... :flipoff2:

i alway's wondered how people would test for suspension binding in the driveway before a motor was installed.... i guess i now know...

something just seem's fishy about that link setup.... i wonder what it is... and why would anyone ever mount all 4 link's on the same plane?

don't it look cute on those :rainbow: blad ass :rainbow: boggers??

did i mention bogger's are :rainbow::question:

is it just me or does that thing have alot of body roll???

BTW, why would some dumb ass put a rear diff all the way on the passenger's side???

Looks like dan needs a set of oars!

actually the 5hp outboard in in the shop will mount right up :flipoff2:


now why would you think i knew anytrhing about fabrication, like the subject say's this was found in someone's garage :rolleyes:

Definitely looks like a page from the book of Questionable Engineering! :eek:

Is that the row-boat we've heard about?

that's not a row boat? is it? questionable eh? Hmmm, that could be a good slang term for it :D

THE ROW BOAT



Thats the name of it

You want to know what the funniest thing about this thread was? I actually scrolled back up to the the top about halfway through to make sure I didn't acidentally "hop to" the Chit Chat forum.

I said to myself, "Country Girl and Whizzy posting in the Zuk forum? Something's not quite right here." :confused:

sheesh, all we need now is DRM, MudBunny and the whole thread will be complete *twilight zone music*:D


PS
those are the scrawniest looking Boggers i've ever seen!:eek:

Well, SOMEBODY, (the same somebody with the garage and the POWERSTROKE in the background of the pics) pointed me to this thread. ;) How could I refuse?? :D

Edit: And I DO like 'The Row Boat' Theme. :D

Shouldn't that be the "Minnow"? Where the heck is Gilligan?

famous last words.....

that looks sweet guys!

why the hell did you mount the links on the same plane at the frame? I don't think you're gonna be happy with the results, but hey you'll see:flipoff2: SO, whats the deal on the coilovers?? who are they commin from?

who said they were going to be coilovers this is my new boat to go fishing in

Yea we'll see when at 40 inches it has less than 2in or rear stear? ya we're gonna hate that, it's gonna suck going in a straight line all twisted up :D and being able to steer and turn just as good as being on flat ground... yep it'll suck...


C'mon zack i did my homework here ;)

god how will it ever work?? it'll go straight!

long links do help get rid of rear steer, but link placement has alot to do with it also, which isn't a concern for you because you have them placed nicely. My only concern was how the links aren't paralell. Every thread I have ever read on this forum and any suspension guru I have talked to on this board has specifically told me or mentioned to me that you want to make your links as paralell as possible. Don't get so defensive dave, I'm not picking on your shit cause I know you have the know how, I was just looking for your reasoning on the link placement.

my guess is that he was looking for ideal pinion angle at all times, when flexed, that set up should do it just nicely... -yag

ye athe penion angel works great gues you will just have to see it in action to know whow well it works

only you would be proud to post the rainbows... just like the pic's of the rainbow's on your zuk... now if i could jsut find those pic's again...

You guys really gotta pull your heads outa your ass and do some homework on link geometry, Its going to be fine dave....

that link set up is :rainbow: there is no way it will ever work




:rolleyes:



:massey:

I've done my homework:flipoff2: I never said it wouldn't work anyways. So, what is it that I don't understand about link geometry? Fill me in here, I don't like being left outta the circle of knowledge:flipoff2:

try english mike.. its a new language :flipoff2:

Having the links parallel has to do with squat/anti-squat. It's too late for me to remember which this setup is going to do under acceleration. I'll think about it in my sleep and check back in tomorrow.

well i'll tell you right now that if you do the math for the anti squat formula, it gives ya a weird answer 198% but having seen this exact setup in action on mutiple vehicles now i do know that it has VERY little and works extremly well... just remember, because it don't add up, doesn't mean it doens't work...

PUT TEH FAWKIN calculator away, don't know how many time i have told the guy whos rig i am building DON"T worry, its going to fawkin work, and work good it will, sheesh,lol...

can some one tell me how to finger it out on a calculator i think i need to know sence i think i want to build a link set up on my zuki



:massey:

You need one since the last one you built didn't work...
Hey, wanna go play at moon rocks again, folow the leader :)

I never said it wouldn't work, a guy mentioned links being parallel so I told him why he was told that. We designed certain amount of anit squat into toyfamily's buggy to help it climb a little better. Link setups are nice in that if you know what you are doing, you can taylor how they will perform. Like anyone really knows what 198% anitsquat is just by looking at the numbers on a calculator. We didn't bother to do any calcualtions when building his setup. Maybe because we didn't have time to worry about it, but we knew it would work. So is Crash building this thing or who is????

Toss the calculayor, smart man wilson.....

YEs, you can overengineer/take readings, bla bla, but its the pure gut and experiance that makes shit happen in a good way!

I am re-tar-ded with tube..

I've seen that setup before on a rock buggy Roggy built for comp. (its a FJ-40 that runs calrocs). From what i've seen and been told by people that have drove it, its great. The way I look at it, if Roggy is running that setup, its gotta work.

Crash is building Beartrack's rig... the one in these pic's is something we found in someone's garage ;)

moto261 and I are doing it...

i need to get to at least 100" then i will come and play a game with you being short kinda sucks



:massey:

I remember crash saying he didn't do tube work, which is why I thought he wasn't doing it.... but now you're starting to build your own shiat??

yepp... learned from Crash... and dan's got the majority of the tool's... and besides since neither of us have job's it's not like we have anything better to do :D

You guys better step it up, you only got a little over two weeks

Daves rig is EASY compared to what I have in my shop...
And he is smart and starting fresh for the most part, it should look really good when they are done, not to mention the link geometry will really rock...

thanks mike.. i sure hope it comes together good :D

and yes, after playing with it in teh driveway today rollling it around the link geometry is so awesome!


BTW: i wouldn't wish the nightmare in your shop on anyone! you're a brave man Mike!!!
