You already got it rolling on a chassis so now the one thing you have to do is just making it run

[@bigoofcars7670]

Man I love and I have to go to school but I still have time to watch your videos

[@harleym.4903]

Ok hear me out, if the supercharger doesn't fit under the hood make a dodge dart style hood scoop kinda of like the v1 rally miata and plump the intake to it and put the filter in the opening 🦍

[@JNorth87]

Your fabrication skills have peaked. The only way to up your game is with new tools and techniques. Tim to learn carbon fiber casting, get legit CNC machine, etc.

[@dirtyK4894]

I would highly recommend putting a sleeve through the frame where the cantilever bolts go through, it will limit the frame from being punched/crushed, also increase strength a lot seal the frame from debris going in etc... Offroad trucks do this often and bolts through frames without sleeves fail

[@dirtyK4894]

It would be very easy to replace the spacer you used with one that's the same diameter but that goes through the frame to the other side and is welded in both sides of the frame, big improvement!

[@austindotson5104]

He said in the video it’s sleeved on the inside at 23:15

[@maybeitruns]

@@austindotson5104 I think that was in reference to the spacer he welded to the outside of the frame, it's just weird phrasing. There was no footage of the inside of the frame being sleeved; just hole drilled, bolt plopped in, and welded

[@rebelscum9568]

This was my thought too, I would imagine it is probably okay on a truck that light, but I definitely would have liked to see that bolt sleeved so it doesn't bend inside of the frame and make a link in the frame itself

[@dirtyK4894]

@@austindotson5104 if he did that's great looks to me like it's just got the spacer off one side which will put quite a bit of single shear side load on that bolt and frame and if it's not sleeved inside would be a weak point, just want to see him succeed cause I'm building a similar Toyota drift truck

@@e36blur Says the guy with a German car. Plus 99% of your sockets are in mm so the drive size of your ratchet is irrelevant. Same as your wheel size since you put metric sized tires on thoses wheels lol

[@MrTomuron]

Probably a good idea to make a rear bash bar, in case you give a wall a little love kiss. Better to make another bash bar than the whole rear suspension.

[@isaactrockman4417]

It’ll help the weight balance too

[@LUCKIPUP]

with a raised jack point too so he can still jack it up ez if it’s dirt nasty low

[@hotdognr12323]

You should adjust the coilover and it's mounts so that the coilover bottoms out on its bump stop before the axle crashes into the frame. This will ensure that the shock is not overextended during droop, as that would ruin the coilover instantly. A limit strap to control droop would be a good idea as well. This machine is looking awesome, a stark contrast to it's first iteration! Can't wait to see it on the track!

Holy moly I just realized that I have been watching you for 6+ years crazy how far you've come from making forza content to doing real & insanely dope project like this one. From making crazy cars in forza to crazy (even cooler) cars in real life absolutely blown away.

[@gaboriloskity]

Very nice fabricating! I just wanna leave 2 thoughts here, 1, as others have pointed out the chassis side of the coilover needs to pivot too since the bell crank moves just a little bit up and down as the suspension moves, 2, I would have put the suspension on the front side of the axle just in case the rear quarter hits something, it would've been a safer spot for the custom setup. I hope this message gets to you keep up the good work!

[@pwatkins70]

yeah i was noticing the shock body raising and lowering through the articulation, meaning it would either need to pivot on the rear mount too or make a new cantiever that keeps the shock body perfectly stationary through suspension travel. I cam to the comment section specifically to see if anybody else had noticed this

[@roachwerks3043]

the top of the coilover should have a ball joint

[@Patrick94GSR]

The coilover really need to be the double eyelet type, not a strut mount top mount type. I know he wants to keep it 240 parts but that’s the totally wrong design of coilover for this application.

[@802Garage]

@@Patrick94GSR It's a pillow ball. Doesn't it have plenty of rotation to compensate for vertical movement of the shock bottom?

[@Patrick94GSR]

@@802Garage perhaps. Still think double eyelet would be a better fit though.

The only thing I don't like are the intersecting holes but it'll probably be fine, if it breaks it'll probably just clunk a bit and be slightly lower.

[@poepeloerke2]

If you're going to put the radiator under the bed, behind the rear axle, make sure to properly protect it from debris. If you're unlucky, popping a tyre could do some real damage to your radiator or hoses if you don't. Have you considered putting the fuel cell in the rear and the radiator between the axle and the cab? Anyway, I love to see you build on this level, keep it going, you're absolutely killing it!!

[@Mr_jz_12]

Guys used to run coolers and stuff in the same location on mr2's and always copped damage from rocks and shit. So would hate to think about a tyre or something letting go.

[@joeanderson8618]

Hopefully for some of those bolts they have a high enough shear force rating, especially the cantalever bolts.

​@@roachwerks3043 it might not be a 1.5tone truck with shock movement of say 30mph is over that amount of force it can handle, because it is only held on the one side it might actually not be enough

[@roachwerks3043]

@@tylerreed7385 when you have a clamping arrangement, the only force the bolt really “sees” is the clamping load. Almost all of the shear and lateral load will be channeled from the heim joints onto the sleeve and directly to the frame. The friction force the bolt creates would be tremendous and you would need a crash impact to defeat that. Sure it could be a double shear arrangment, but that doesn’t seem entirely necessary.

[@nestordreiergligoor8516]

It is looking very nice, the only thing that I noticed is that you welded the top mounting brackets of the springs of the cantilever setup strait to the bar. The springs are under a lot of pressure longways because they can not pivot at the end. If the bar can rotate or the springs have an pivot system in it, than it is ok. If not, you have springs that want to go in a banana like shape while they can only compress in 1 direction. I see it already in the video. That is why cantilever springs have at the bottom and at the top horizontal mounting bracket other than a vertical top and a horizontal bottom mounting bracket relative to the springs itself.

The top has a pillow ball and the lower mount is a booted spherical joint, no?

[@Drunken_Hamster]

This is the sickest parallel 4-link I've seen in a truck. I love the stance, too. Not to mention that a little squat will transfer some needed weight to the rear for better grip. Now, I know the front suspension is done, but I learned something really interesting recently about tire slip angle and how it relates to Ackerman steering geometry. Basically, the more load you have on a tire, the greater the slip angle can be without losing grip. To that effect, Formula 1 actually uses ANTI-ackerman since their outside tire is seeing more load than the inside due to weight transfer and downforce. The reverse is also true, the LESS load on a tire, the LESS slip angle it can have. So I had an epiphany after a few moments of thinking and realized that DRIFT CARS load up the leading front tire, but UNLOAD the trailing front tire in a drift. However, with Ackerman steering, during a DRIFT, the outside tire (in regards to the direction you're turning), which is trailing behind you with less load is the one that has a greater difference of angle compared to the direction of travel. Which means it experiences more slip angle with less load and therefore drags along while adding no control the the steering. Basically, it would give you WAY more front control if you switched your steering to ANTI-ackerman steering. It'll just drive a little strangely at low speeds when NOT drifting. Kinda like the front end equivalent to a welded diff skipping the tire. It'll also wear tires slightly faster in grip driving situations, though with high speed and good load transfer, it'll once again have MORE grip in the twisties with anti-ackerman.

Went ahead and got me the gingium truck shirt, That design looked soooo cool, I had to get it.

[@christophershafer5615]

I would definitely sleeve the frame bolts and support the cantilever bolts (maybe from one of the bolts below the panhard bar?).

[@1234567890CAB]

The cantilever system definitely works, but it feels like lighting a cigarette with a blowtorch aka overkill. With a few modifications and improvements it could be closer to lighting a cigar with a blowtorch aka a bit more appropriate. For example you can use the triangle to get a mechanical advantage, or the corner of the triangle that the shock connects to is twice as far from the pivot point vs the corner that goes to the axle. In this example you could use shocks that are twice as long but only see 1/2 the forces. Also one inch of axle movement would be 2 inches of shock compression. This is how supercars with only a few inches of total suspension travel are setup. In those cars you would need crazy shocks to deal with the huge forces to keep the suspension within an inch or two of travel. Using the mechanical advantage allows the forces the shocks experience to be spread out over a longer distance. This also increases their responsiveness and characteristics of the dampening, because shocks are better at dampening large movements vs small movements. However I understand that this would require a bit of math and buying new shocks, but you wanted to use the shocks you already had. Perhaps in the future you might consider making new triangles and trying out longer shocks. Finally I'd also suggest shortening the bar that connects the triangle to the axle or use the bottom hole on the axle. You want the bottom of the triangle to be level with the ground at ride height or in the middle of the travel so that half of the travel the triangle is tipping down, and the other half of the travel the triangle is tipping up. Then you just lengthen the shocks to adjust ride height. This is because the more the triangle tips, the closer the axle gets to the pivot point, which reduces the leverage.

Is your rear mounting point of the shock aible to pivot? When the shock compresses, the front will move up a bit because of how your cantillever suspension works…

Looks good, almost overbuilt except where it needs it most, ie., the pivot bolt sleeve and the head of the shock mount, which needs to be a very strong point,. that rear bar flexes as is. Your linkage is very short, how will you wind it out far enough for the lowest mount point.

As the suspension actuates and the cantilever portion rotates and pushes on the shock, the motion isn’t liner. Won’t this put a strain on the shock and or the shock mount?

Your suspension linkage is called a bellcrank linkage. Nice build!
