Alabama thread!

‘Twas a joke

 

I don't know anything about them but I see a lot of people use them. I was just curious.

 

well built 4 link....that is a good setup

 

I don’t either

 

Tacoalamode runs Alcans too.

 

they are custom built leafs.

 

Yeah, there are so many different links, joints and shock combos, it will make you crazy

 

Thanks for the obvious info guys...

 

true that.

There are factors that make one setup make sense over the other.

A good 4 link takes a lot of room to build.

A 3 link can be made in tighter spaces and can still run mechanical or hydro assist steering. This will be my route when I build.....whatever I build.

 

I was thinking 3 link until I seen one break the center link, roll the axle break both shocks and drive shaft. I know it could have been weak joint, link or bad welding but I will add the extra link if I have room. It will just make me feel a little better, lol

 

The guy that owns this site does too

 

3 link with panhard is darn strong

 

This happened at Wheeling in the Country, the joints broke

 

I couldn't believe how much better my Samurai drove after I put a Panhard bar on it

 

looks like dude hammered down and broke 2 of his 4 link mounts.

Edit - looks like the joints

 

Yep, not sure if he had too small or maybe even cheap made. But I would cry if it was mine. Could you imagine?

 

Those heims do look very darn small.

That would be a terrible way to end a trip.

 

They were small,
When I get it stretched out I will for sure be hauling it around on a trailer. Will be beating on it too hard to be able to depend on it to get me home.

 

I like mine and see no issues with them. Well constructed down to making sure the fitting is there for all the lines. Maybe not surprised it is for sale. Spoke with the owner when ordering mind a few months ago and he said his ranch out in Grand Junction, Colorado was taking up more time and he is no spring chicken like me.

 

Lol I was just kidding. I can’t speak to anything about the alcans. Don’t you know you’re supposed to hate on the products you don’t have? I mean cmon John..
