Rock Bouncer Build Part 8 Release The Kraken! Front Coilovers Bumps and Rear Mount Radiator Install

[@antoniovarela6713]

music was extra sinister. lookin good. I agree, i think it looks more like a dragon than a kraken at this point.

[@pappiigueyy6958]

Saw your Facebook ad lol I'm here for the civic

[@OwnerOfOwn]

I've got the same welder, about to build a plasma table. great to see

[@jamescunliffe9872]

The form,shape looks that good now that it makes the cages on other builds look like shopping baskets!:)

[@carbonshocks]

Lol yeah two different worlds and styles haha

[@mket_design]

The car looks freaking awsome!!!! 😎

[@TheTuttleCrew]

It looks awesome! You guys do a great job! I look forward to seeing it in action!

[@carbonshocks]

One day haha! He plans to have it done by the end of the year

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

That thing looks like a beast. Those tires are enormous. Just make sure to account for the bending force in the front upper links caused by the bump stops. Normally those links only see tension and compression. I agree this gets done all the time with trailing arms, but those are usually weldments, not just a piece of DOM. The bump stop looks like it is positioned about halfway down the length of the tube, which is worst case positioning for bending the tube I would think. It might be fine how it is, I don't know for certain. A piece of tube sleeved over the link might be an easy way to strengthen it.

[@carbonshocks]

Before it's all said and done they'll be a brace and bump pad. most likely I'll go ahead and sleep these links with aluminum as well

[@ricklucero8878]

I like the name Kraken it fits the feel of the and look of the build

[@MrBillsfishin]

Looks great. That thing is getting ready to leave the shop anyday now.

[@carbonshocks]

Yeah Few More tubes rear coilovers links trailing arms and full burn. Time to get this beast home and get MEDUSA OSO AND AUVETTE Moving FAST! LITERALLY

[@nickyarham3222]

I’ve been looking for an off-road build channel for several months and just now somehow came across your channel. Not sure how the KZbin algorithm stuff works but you guys should figure it out so you are more exposed and easier to find. I’m enjoying the rock bouncer build and will definitely be checking out your other stuff after. Keep up the good videos.

[@carbonshocks]

KZbin doesn't care about the off-road community we did a lot from giveaways to paying for ads to everything and the off-road stuff never grew and per capita the off-road crowd on KZbin is very small. we gave up on KZbin back in August it's just too much work for absolutely no return.

[@johnnyturbo8460]

Great looking build!

[@raymondmartin3254]

Think it's really quite cool. I will use some ideas in my project for sure. It would be awesome to have the plasma table in the lathe as well having the equipment really helps

[@shanewright6958]

It's really looking good 👍👍🇨🇱

[@gixxernut8021]

Nice fab work!! Your really good at cage work I enjoy the content!! 👍🏻

[@AlanDavid1955]

THANK YOU FOR THE LESSON !

[@highlandcrawler]

Looks so low and sinister for such a massive rig. The frontend setup looks super clean. That 1 backwards tire though has been driving me nuts every since you guys mounted them up lol.

[@carbonshocks]

Which on is backwards? Didn't notice of the tread was directional on these.

[@highlandcrawler]

@@carbonshocks I have an odd tire fetish lol. Technically I would say the driver front is in the correct orientation and the other 3 are what most would consider reversed.

[@markscully2342]

damn that plasma table is cool must make so many things so much easier!

[@carbonshocks]

It does however it has its moments but it definitely makes duplicating parts much easier. It's really due for some servicing it needs new slats and one of these days we need to seal it up so we can put water in it and it will cut even better.

[@Arykperry]

The chassis looks bad ass but I can’t believe you would ever put Rockwell’s under it. That sexy rig deserves a Custom Gm14 bolt all day long !!!

[@carbonshocks]

You obviously are not familiar with Rockwell's and rock bouncing. It wasn't our choice. This is what was provided by the owner. Furthermore a 49 and a half inch tires too big for a 14 bolt.

[@justinhobart8747]

Woohoo!!! 😜👍 I'm last to make a comment... Sunday 😇 church & 👨‍👦 kid, yeah... I finally get around to making one, lol... 🤔 that thing definitely is starting to look like a 🐊 Gators head or my old high school's mascot.... "Green 🐲 Dragons" head maybe, lol 😜 so excited!!!! Yay, a fist-bump for you to! 👊😉👍

[@carbonshocks]

And there he is! Was wondering when you were going to come around. Music suck again? lol

[@justinhobart8747]

@@carbonshocks I didn't notice, 🙉 so it must have sounded fine! 🤪 😜 You better watch being out in the shop after 1am 👻 those ghost will get ya... 🤨 You do realize, that you built that on top of a old Indian burial ground right???? 😂🤣😂

[@carbonshocks]

@@justinhobart8747 haha I legit scratched my head what happened. That was weird.

[@justinhobart8747]

@@carbonshocks I'm just sitting here messing around with a design idea I had in my head, and I thought I'd share the free CAD app use that I downloaded. It's called " Inard CAD " pretty simple program, just a basic 2D program, simple-to-use but nice to have on a phone or a tablet, something when you want to put down some measurements when an idea pop in you head, I think you have to buy the actual non free version to import files and stuff, but works very well for me when I'm just doodling around, getting ideas. Anyway I thought I'd share it hope you don't mind... Maybe you like to try it.

[@carbonshocks]

@@justinhobart8747 i cant recall the name of the cad we use. lol

[@gixxernut8021]

You should make the front look like an alligator 🐊 mouth and eyes your almost there

[@craigdry9522]

Dragon yes, But as I said before, This thing is beast

[@bryduhbikeguy]

It's Your party,so you do what you want...Looks solid.: I would Never have a radiator right behind my head.Besides the 'cooked head syndrome',I want free flow in case the fans fail.Edit-I think this looks seriously Bada##,and I like it.Good work you 2.

[@carbonshocks]

That's ultra4 life for you buddy We almost always have the radiator behind us. They're set up right with shielding and baffling barring something majorly catastrophic You should be pretty safe.

[@johnsaunders1694]

Build looks really good. I had no idea ho it was going to come together but I really like it. The radiator mount looks super clean! WTH was with the box flying off the shelf? Was Joe hiding back there or did that legit just go flying! Scary AF!

[@modificationnation73]

What are your thought on using mild steel and not chromoly? I don’t really want to tig the entire cage.

[@carbonshocks]

I've never built a chassis out of Chromoly We've only done steel.

[@---rf5vn]

It's not too heavy ? Heavy axles , heavy engine and heavy tires. What you think about the weight ?

[@carbonshocks]

Oh wow.. honestly I don't know. My guess would be around 5,000 lbs

[@---rf5vn]

Hope so. Thanks for an answer.

[@gafrers]

Fantastic as usual, loved the intro The radiator looks small but given rockbouncer's runs times, there is a reason behind that size. Any plans for using cage as coolant passages? I'm not an engineer and i trust your experience but the bump stops there look weird as a concept on a bouncer. The rockwell style axles make OSO's and Medusa's look so tiny. Keep up the great work.

[@carbonshocks]

Radiator will be fine it's not open dessert racing. I am. Not a fan of coolant in the cage one crack from a hit and your done. Yes the bumps are no tradition but they work. No different than a trailing or leading arm design where the shock is arm mounted. We have done it before with zero issue and full tunability.

[@gafrers]

@@carbonshocks I have full thrust in the Team and thank you for always answering

[@carbonshocks]

We do our best to interact and answer any and not questions where we can. At the end of the day not saying everything we do is perfect or anything like that I just know in this situation it'll work fine with the bumps
