The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

what? His is a TC front kit?

 

now thats a high quality kit right there! world class

 

agreed. his fab skills are practically legendary by now

 

probably making bank welding kits up for racers everywhere.




honestly though..im not ready to build my own unless i had a few my fabrication tools available. and a bit more knowledge.

Linking the rear would be fun though..and a custom 4.5'' over kit..10'' coil overs..

 

Looks custom to me.








If you're thinking of linking the rear, I assume you'll go with trailing arms?

 

a nice steel press to cut the pieces out and get some jigs made up...could build the arms all out of mostly square and rectangle pieces really.

 

dats beautiful

 

Looks like mine.

 

at least his is on 4 wheels (presumably) at the moment

 

^ This. I would think, anyway.

 

i dont think i would have the patience for that

 

oh im assuming that is buried somewher ein there? wasn't like that on the first page or second..looks freaking awesome though! Id do that..but 4wd..so couldn't do such center mounted arms..

yea id do trailing arms for linking the rear.

Yea id want at least a press..and a plasma torch. Then i am certain i could fab something up..

id do boxed stuff for sure.

Maybe one day..

 

I want to link my rear eventually! Then run 12" ORI's with the Solo kit and whatever length I need for the rear and mount an N2 tank with lines to the ORI's and I could adjust my ride height and tune my shock's compression and rebound on the fly!

 

i thought we established oris were not idea for go fast applications

 

think ill just stick with regular CO and bypasses..think tuning will be better and more consistent for high speed stuff.

 

yup. tune them for the truck and how you want it to handle and you dont really need to tune on the fly. it will be at optimum comp and rebound

 

KOH rigs run them as well as lots of sand rails. Just rebuild them once every year or two and they should be just fine, might not even have to rebuild them that often.

There's a 4 linked rear, LT front 2nd gen in Colorado somewhere (I don't think he is on here) running ORI's on all 4 corners.

 

yea..excatly. Plus with triples front and rear and dual rate CO..can't go wrong..

yea but you and JW are having weird stuff happening with it changing with temps too much.

And once a rear rebuild?! wtf..thats bull shit..haha

i demand a build thread.

 

May not be fully necessary but I think it would be cool. I could drop the ride height down real low for DD'ing to reduce my wind drag and I could set it to a medium height for high speed stuff to keep my COG low and sit in the middle of my travel range and then I could raise my height up real high for rock crawling.

Shoot if you did a fancy enough setup with individual corner control you could drop and raise corners to level out the body as you crawl through sketchy stuff.

Scary off camber situation, psshh just drop the pressure on one side and raise it up on the other. haha

 

what a pain in the ass haha
