My 4 Link buildup

[Greg]

This is mainly for Jeremy, Shawn, James & myself, but if you have something helpful to add, feel free.

OK guys, I figured I'd snap a few pics so we can get on the same page. I know Hickey likes to draw on pics, so have away Jeremy!

Here's the rear of the frame.-

More frame, with Crossmember. I plan on setting up my upper links just behind the Tube.-

Corner where Crossmember meets Frame.-

Here's that pic of my rearend you wanted Jeremy... I can get you a better one, if you like.

Crossmember, viewed from the back-

Just forward of the Crossmember. Lower Link, Upper Mount Crossmember will mount somewhere around here.-

I'll be posting up my own drawings over the next few days, a materials list, specs, and my general ideas.

 

[Hickey]

How wide between your frame rails?

 

[Shawn]

Lots of room.......


Get rid of the jacks on Cinder Bricks!!!!!!!!

 

[Greg]

How wide between your frame rails?

37" in beween, Frame itself is about 2 1/4" wide.

Yep, plenty of room!


Hey, atleast the cinder blocks are in their stronger direction, not rotated 90*... now that would be scary! I'm using the big HF jacks and still need more height!

Cool, thanks Chad!

Holy crap! that's frikken wide! that will be nice to work with. Oh yeah, go buy some angle iron and we'll make your jacks longer...

I suck at drawing. I have a hard time drawing what I see in my head. Jump in here anytime Herzog! I would like to accomplish some unique bracketry/tower work on that axle. If anyone has ideas/drawings, post up.

 

[RockMonkey]

Do you already have a basic plan? Lowers triangulated? Uppers triangulated?

 

[Hickey]

Lowers triangulated? Uppers triangulated?

Both.

 

[Herzog]

can we get a good side shot with the axle in place?

 

[Hickey]

nobody make fun of my vast drawing abiltities.... this is a 5 second rendition...

 

[muleskinner]

I'll post up some pics of mine tonight if you want. I still have to add the rest of the gussets, but you can see how I did it.

 

[James K]

how far from the crossmember to the axle postion?

can we remove the crossmember and do something different?

I think you are thinking the same as me, that the uppers will need to mount further forward of the crossmember.

I have the exact same 4 link on my yota that you are doing. My uppers sit up on top of where the crossmember meets the frame. I dont think you need to remove the crossmember but you definitly need to strengthen it up. I think that if the links were any longer past the crossmember you will drag them over all the rocks.

umm,,, the lowers need to mount under the shaft....

 

[Herzog]

Here is a view of my 4-link from the top. Not as many degrees of triangulation as many, but it works and is solid.
