The sickest TOY build EVER on 40's *snow pics*

Depending on your needs a dual ladder bar with a panhard would be super easy,  you can just run them straight back to the frame.  Then drop your panhard bar off the frame to the axle, if the fuel tank isnt in the way....   Do you have any pics of the rear end of your rig? and the axle your going to put in it?

here is a rendition of my thought.
ya?

Is there a purpose behind the gooofy shape of the top link?  It looks like a picaso (sp).     Im not sure three link setups like that are street legal due to the single fail point would cause quite a mess.  But they do work well on the trail...

[ToYocRawleR]

so whats that green area?

[ToYocRawleR]

Yea so that gas tank is pissing me off!  That things so 

What should i do? mount the tank in the bed, like cut out the bed where the tank is and move it up like 8" or something?
Or a fuel cell?

[DTB]

looks like a metal bracket to me.....


and did the colors just change..it looks yellow now!

It will be difficult to link it the way you want without moving that tank somewhere.....

obviously the stock tank would be the cheapest to move. If you do go with a fuel cell...dont skimp on this safety item....go with something like a racesafe cell

Ive modified that drawing, which way should i run my up links, ive represented my options in green and in blue.

[DTB]

In the first drawing....I believe the red lines represent the lower links....the green/yellow thing is the third link...


You are wanting to do a triangulated 4 link...different ballgame

thats what i was going for. i looked at it again and that third link needs rotated around so that notched side goes around the gas tank.

Blue would be the uppers and green would be the lowers if thats what your askin?

You can get a fuel cell for not too bad,  you can even find all skinny ones that would rest up front of the bed,  Flat larger ones,   square, ect...  Make sure you find one big enough for your needs..

[ToYocRawleR]

F-it im doin a 3 link w/ a panhard and keeping the tank in stock location.

[THK Matt]

play with different locations.
have fun with it. good luck.

[Doof]

break your R/P today?

[toy4x4ota]

you can put a small strip of sheetmetal as a backing on the weld, its twice as thick harder to burn through. just do little tac's to keep the heat down. still burns through just not as bad
