Stretched Samurai to 100 inch Wheelbase! Suzuki Samurai Build Episode 12

WELCOME BACK KZbin
I am building myself a custom jig for helping me determine my clearance
with a variety of tire sizes.
As you may know, purchasing tires can involve a bit of guess work when deciding on measurements like your offset and you are limited in tire size based on the amount of room you have in the wheel wells.
I designed this Jig so that I could quickly switch between different sizes
of tires. I currently have some 36in super swamper tires, but I would like to
make sure the samurai is capable of fitting a larger tire down the road if I decide to upgrade.
In this video we also start on the design for the Panhard Bar in the Front 3-Link. The Panhard bar is going to need a lot more work.. but this is a great start to allow me to start designing the mounts in Solidworks, and run some calculations from the locations of the pivot points.
I hope you enjoy the video!
