3Pooches version 3.5

The tent is like a kerosene wick. Give it a steady supply of fuel and the tent won't burn. But I'm not sure if you want to it before or after you get in.

 

Slightly different, but I've been wanting to get a surplus military parachute to try this. Supposedly it stays pretty warm under it, and the hot air keeps it inflated.

 

Until it catches on fire

 

How's that for mirrors only at 0600 and a cup of coffee? GSA likes small parking spaces.

 

Someone stealing Chris' ideas ..

That watts link is neat! I’ve seen them used on other builds and they all have tons of travel

 

The wheels are turning in my head…

 

Happy Friday! (You too left coast Greg)

 

My work week Friday = Monday, and I get to loose an hour Sunday night.

I keep telling myself the schedule serves a purpose. Still don't care for it.

 

It is a lot more going on than a triangulated 4 link. Unless it’s necessary (inability to triangulate), I wouldn’t do it. Unless I was an engineer with a machine shop and a lift

 

Think dude did it as more of a challenge than anything. Especially after the Internet got involved.

 

I think he mentioned he couldn’t triangulate due to the Nissan not liking aftermarket fuel tanks

 

Both my Rover and Crown vic… (Yes, I said crown vic.) had the watts linkage in the rear. The Vic would have a weird side to side shake when hutting off set bumps. The Rover never had an issue, but the Watts, does have it’s limitations.

 

Think he mentions both of those as examples.

 

I do recall him saying that. Why can't these engineers cater to us enthusiasts?!

 

Right!?

 

Rite rite. I haven’t watched it yet, just heard you all mention the watts linkage part. Then stared to flap my gums.

I’ll be quiet now.

 

So did the crown Vic have wheel hop?

 

As in.. acceleration, bad tire balancing, worn components? Nah, but it did have factory airbags in the rear. I could get a weird quick hop/side to side shimmy if hitting a pot hole on one side or the other. This wasn't and every day thing, just the odd time if all conditions were right.

You can't see the watts in the pic, but you can see my upgraded control arms and the factory bags. The bags were next to go but sold had already sold the car.

 

Look at those aluminum links!
