How To Build A Rear 4 Link Suspension

[@isomer13]

I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. You always give 100%. Good stuff. Thanks, Colt.

[@dougleece6970]

He is organically growing thats why no fake subs

[@gradyshirey7860]

newer channel he used to be on bleeping jeep

[@isomer13]

@@gradyshirey7860 Yeah, I know that-but you'd think he'd have carried some subs from Bleepin with him. Good fabricator, great crawler. He's a good guy.

[@SlapNuts4Life]

Oh hell yeah, colt almost instantly became my favorite off-road channel

[@robertr4193]

I like how you fully explain everything so we know what going on and how you are doing what you are doing and why. It's looking good and it's a few steps closer to being done and ready.

[@timmykelly4508]

Hi Colt. I'm one of the guys that mention the soot trick. thanks for reading the comments and trusting us welders. I love your builds and hope one day I can build my own buggy.

[@mikeford6702]

U like having the frame work to look good and grind it clean it's call having pride in you an your work not many people like that around anymore I have alot of respect for you colt

[@gonzalez7805]

That really has to be a per project call , did you see how much time , effort and product was needed ... Not all projects require this much extra attention... Getting the job done is way more valuable...

[@BaconCruiser]

Dang man, the talent and skill demonstrated in this video is extraordinary! Sign me up if you ever host fabrication classes!

[@kincaidwoodworking8578]

How Colt isn't more popular I don't know. His S-10 from last time and this Pacer are a masterclass is building things right. Your time will come, dude. You are a true craftsman.

[@scottgarber7363]

My Mom used to drive a Pacer. I thought it was the ugliest car ever made. I never thought anyone could make a Pacer look cool. Great work!

[@BradWB]

You make doing these projects look so easy, even though I know it's not. Your attention to detail is astounding. Thanks for the "Class Session."..

[@coltbuildsit]

Glad you like them!

[@carykennedy9467]

As usual great work and explaining to all of us out here in the world. It is people like you that make it doable for common folk . Thank you and your wife for the help you give us all. Nice racing 🏁!

[@Jdjeepman]

Colt, you got to release your videos later in the day! My work getting tired of paying me to watch them lol. Best channel on KZbin hands down!!

[@coltbuildsit]

Tell your boss I'm sorry😉👍

[@Jdjeepman]

@@coltbuildsit what he does know won’t hurt him!

[@davidbreaux5989]

I really appreciate the detailed explanations and what you do and why you do it.

[@ericfallis6202]

You make very good videos to watch entertaining and educational 😊

[@jimandnena4]

Most important tool in the shop: broom. I worked on aircraft 40+ years and keeping a clean work area was mandatory. Great project and progress. Thank you.

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

13:15 Honestly....shoot some Fluid Film in there. That'll prevent more rust. Look it up. Love that stuff!

[@caseyriches7899]

Your explanation on doing things is the best I've heard from any of the KZbin videos

[@jaredgreen502]

Awesome! Loving the look of Racecar. Those trailing arm look so nice on there!

[@coltbuildsit]

Thanks! 👍

[@rightwingmanscott]

Some really neat stuff being built on the On X challenge. Been welding for over 40 years and didn't know the soot trick. Always learning but the spray cans one can buy for the same purpose is faster and more convenient plus you can use it on your nozzle and tips and jigs. But still interesting.

[@DAVE_THE_YETI]

Its a rad car man. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I am considering doing a 4 link for the first time on my old landcruiser fj62. I will book mark this video for sure.

[@therevdr128]

Dang it! I was waiting for you to make stencils and paint the upper arms with all the poop pipe signage. Just to make people that see it start scratching their heads trying to decide of you are really that crazy.

[@freeidaho-videos]

I used spray on vegetable oil as an anti-splatter. Much cheaper than welders anti-splatter, and works great.

[@baddawg3380]

When I worked at a welding shop for a short stint welding hitches and what not, we always used soapy water and the little dingle berry's would wipe right off.

[@SpatialDragon]

A few decades ago we would have built a roll cage with that pipe or worse. I have built some really sketchy rigs, but I lived. Not many breaks of what I built, but we would go to the junkyard and scavenge together parts of cars and some junk iron pipe, some I beam, some angle and I welded it together with 7018 rod. Hey it usually worked and it cost nearly nothing.

[@michaeldunn150]

Like Jim Carey would say........... I like it, I like it a lot!!.........What a great builder you are Colt!

[@kodepop]

It would be so cool to apprentice with you, the way you explain everything makes it seem very simple to understand.

[@Chevyv8man1]

Hey Colt, Great video, I love the way you video and explain how you do things and most important why you do it that way. Your RACE CAR is coming together great, and looks good. When you first said that you were going to make a race car out of a pacier, I said to myself What - No.... but it's working for me now. Cool. A ton of work thou.. Keep them coming. Later

[@ty_thejeepguy]

Great video, Colt! Poop pipe makes great upper links, who woulda thought.

[@billwalker5883]

You exactly right Mr Colt. It's painful to have a spark roll down your ear hole. Listening to the was melt.ihad a welding instructor you remind me of. Many many years ago. Great man and a blast to learn from

[@joeeyman7503]

Nice! 👍 I was just going to ask about a relief for the upper links, and presto zingo you do it! Thanks for so much info and advice on the how and why. Looks like …well …. It’s amazing! 🙏❤️😎🤙

[@papatomsthoughts]

Looking good. Love your way of explaining things.😊😊😊😊

[@coltbuildsit]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Sakratic]

Truly professionally designed/created/built with pride, quality, and fine craftmanship that's trumped only by the even more impressive explainers!! Yep, done the way ONLY Colt Builds It!!! I can already picture you and Rory (btw two similar sized dudes) both having a blast whipping and racing it!!! I can't hardly wait.

[@timvanasen9822]

Great video appreciate all the tips & tricks you share, racer pacer will definitely turn heads and perform just as you built it, thanks for sharing God bless ❤️👍

[@jimderrick846]

Pretty cool to see how a 4 link is put together, keep it up colt

[@Motormike2025]

Hi Colt. I've been a member of your channel since day one. Love what you do. I'm a jeep lover too. I'm leaving Milwaukee Wisconsin tomorrow morning.. going to Utah. In a 2003 Jeep Liberty sport . I have a lot of new parts in it . But you know how that goes. I don't know a lot of people on my way. Hope some people out there. Will help if things get bad . I don't expect anything for free. Thanks for reading.

[@heartsky]

That thing makes me smile every time.

[@KCampen1986]

Excited to watch you mount the front 44 I’ll take some notes on how to mount mine.

[@user-se5zz3yj9c]

lol…the intro almost me had me thinking holy moly he went 6x6 on a pacer❤️😂👍

[@kevbev1524]

I like watching Colt building it. ❤ Almost as much as I like doing it.

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Colt for the update on the OnX Off Road build !

[@raeanker3078]

Cracking video mate, keep pumping them out. Cheers from down under.

[@guypehaim1080]

I think the best way to cut the arcs in trailing link brackets is to use a piece of tubing the same diameter as the axle housing and trace the arc on the bracket to get a perfect fit.

[@JamesCook-rf8tu]

You are working very hard and having some long days. I hope it all pays off for you.

[@keithanderson6290]

You can purchase a MIG Anti Stick Spray that is designed for the MIG torch, but works well to spray on metal parts that you do not want splatter on.

[@jamesmadaj28]

Colt, appreciate your content, excellent! Love how your build is turning out.

[@kurtwerner4258]

Those back windows sure do stick out a bit. Maybe it needs a grill.. Looking great, as usual. Good luck on the trail. I can't believe it's just later this month.

[@williamgriffin5818]

The pacers coming out awesome Colt

[@ryanaupperlee2662]

1993 grand cherokee ZJ i would say was jeeps first rear link suspension set up

[@jjkastelic]

Good episode. The car looks epic at that stance. Yeah baby, yea!! What tires will you be running? I know you are not using those beat up swampers...

[@johnhart125]

Great video. Love the attention to detail, learned a bit more about 4 links. Thks

[@alexdedora1881]

Colt you should get some Heeley’s for the slide in intro, and to get around the shop quicker 😂

[@az-squatch6854]

Great video, I am digging the Bible Verses at the end.

[@davidcadenhead8436]

The TJ wasn't jeeps first rear link suspension. If I am correct it was the Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ which came out in 93. And then it was adapted into the TJ

[@TheOldaz1]

Ecellent work as usual, thanks Colt.

[@thomassmith8168]

The stance is perfect

[@garyvincent9663]

Colt Matt has a Samori to build Matt might need your input on it!

[@BG-vq9fd]

Years ago I had opportunities to be in the big 3 prototype garages. I do not remember which one I was in but I saw a 4 inch tie down being used as a safety to keep a prototype vehicle on the lift. I was told it only took the destruction of one 1/4 million dollar proto to get new safety procedures implemented.

[@joepitts3638]

I have never had luck welding with the joints in the tube adapter, i used to have sarificial bolts that i would thread in a few turns, i quit even using them yesrs ago. I was always worried about the dingle berries messing up the treads but since i stopped worrying about it, I have never had an issue.

[@roberthood9525]

They make a food grade anti seize that works just as well as the silver anti seize. The food grade is not as messy

[@MarkoMygun]

Nice job Colt,that thing is Badass man, can't wait to hear it run. Thanks for the video bro 👍

[@coltbuildsit]

You bet

Hi guys doing great work on 4x4 pacer racing love seeing your shows every time so cool 😎

[@robertquackenbush5547]

Hey colt that pacer is looking mighty fine hope it wheels good when the time comes to test it

[@davidwoermansr]

I think the plasma torch was an attempt at an air arc like when you're trying to get the main swing boom pin out of a backhoe you put your torch oxygen to a piece of brakeline and but it in your ark welder turned up turn the oxygen on clip the brakeline in the stinger strike an ark it'll blow a hole right through the pin when it cools it drops right out is it safe probably not does it work sure does

[@kennyquad]

Fluid film works better for spraying inside of your tubes. It sticks around and will not drip out.

[@samramone84]

Nice edit at the end there

[@jonkintner1638]

So you don’t worry about ending up on ticktock. Those yellow things one the ground called ratchet straps you can use to strap the car down to your lift.

[@brinknutz]

Under hoist stands are cheap, well worth the investment. Edit: i see you bought one now that I've watched further into the video.

[@kstricl]

I'd buy that plasma cutters were an accident. If you throw a holder in front of the stream and use inert gas, it would probably do spray transfer. I love watching Abom79 build up shafts using spray transfer.

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

This thing is super rad!

[@DennisMcGrew]

great as always great content very entertaining and friendly

[@GULIVERSOFFROAD]

when i was an tech at zeigler in canton ohio we would ratchet strap vehicles down to the rack if we had to do a rear diff or an engine

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 your attention to detail is spot on as always..

[@terryfoust4802]

thank you colt. very informative!😀

[@christopherthompson4359]

Curious on if you are gonna move the rear most section of the frame to match up with the body. Lovin the build.

[@kennethmiller6158]

Good morning colt looks like you are coming along with the pacer I just would I what are you searching fuel tanks for my truck and I found a donut fuel tank to go to in order to spare tire bracket is I just thought I would mention it because it is a big round donut looking fuel tank holds about 15 or 20 gallons I believe it's not right in your spare tire rack it would be about the axle just thought I would mention that good luck on your build

[@kimberlyvaughan3430]

Thank you, that was interesting. A lot of information 😊

Jeep axels going under the white Tracker in your yard?

[@dirtyfingersgarage]

Is that rear truss set up strong enough front to back??? I think a bit of trussing across the back might be needed??? It's hard to tell from video's But amazing work, that thing looks great... Cheers R...

[@staceys9107]

Actually looks awesome!

[@kevinfoley7704]

Great video. Very informative.

[@tylerholt3135]

I can’t wait to do proper 4link on my jk

[@artyseibert]

That is a good trick with the wd40!!

[@GULIVERSOFFROAD]

would you be able to do a weld on johnny joint on the frame side of the trailing arms ? that way you could grease easily also i love my johnny joints i have 2 years of hard trail use on almost every weekend and they are tight as day 1

[@nathanmarsh2699]

Great content on your channel. So…is it really a Racer Pacer? 😂

[@anthonypaules7893]

Pipe seems a little small for a turd. :) I was thinking of using solid round bar on my lower links. Might add some unsprung wheight and be pretty strong? Really appreciate your channel and look forward to your videos.

[@guypehaim1080]

Did you check to see how much the pinion angle changed as you moved the suspension?

[@ShootingNStuffFamilyFun]

You should take a “pie” slice out of the body and weld it back together to keep the original roll off the wheel well…never mind 😮

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

Looking great!

[@professorfalken4600]

Great project

[@DennisMcGrew]

great as always great content very

[@scottingram6169]

How do you set ride height? Is it done with adjustable shocks, or do you do it measuring shock and springs? I enjoy watching your builds. I learn a lot.

[@motownXJdad9565]

after your upper shock mounts youre not gonna need the rear of that TJ frame eh? might as well cut it off for better departure angle👍

[@dustinsnider1646]

You can add grease zerts!

[@jakequaempts5234]
