It's already single shear so you wouldn't be downgrading with a half moon. The straight bolt is used alot but not as good as a tapered pin since it walks around a bit and slowly stretches the bolt necessitating re-torque once in a while. Some people will weld the lower spacer to the upright to...

My main issue during this last run was a top speed of 20mph through any sized holes. The front is tolerable but the rear just slams down and rolls way too easily. With the help of friends and limited to what I had on hand this is new setup. Was straight 20 comp and 15 reb with all bleeds open.

Ran Mojave Road with Bodj and friends. Only had Seth along and he had a great time. By the end of it he had detailed out an entire ultra4 inspired FJ40 pickup build while I was fighting to stay on the trail with iffy steering and very little brakes.

It'll get a little funky with the shock angle but may not be far off. If you look at my Sequoia build thread I have the motion ratio mapped of a seemingly simple cantilever and there were a few surprises affecting the rate.

I was wondering about the articulation effects as well. My cantilever has fairly short links and I haven't found a drawback yet. When you say rising rate are you calculating wheel travel vs shock travel or just eyeballing 90 degrees? Might want. To plot it out in case it does something weird.

Mine is a simple box made from 1/4" press board and some scrap plywood. I printed hinges for the lexan door but never got around to installing them so it just gets propped in place. Nothing fancy but keeps the temps consistent.

Tommy the problem with that system is the same as he has now. It relies on two small screws that have to be properly cleaned, loctite'd and torqued correctly. Bodj has shown an inability to do this so hitting metal with hammers is likely a better approach.

Haha, it's been evicted for good.

That's a nifty box. I need to make two small ones that I can't find an off the shelf solution for so need to remember to scope that out.

I got my storage setup almost complete and ready for its first shakedown. Fridge slider, 3 40in drawers and a spare tire and jack mount with room for overflow.

My latest SCX24 project was building a TTB suspension with working 4wd. Topped with a Bronco body AI generated from picture. Son loves driving it and it works surprisingly well.

The latest project has been building out the storage area. I did not want the spare tire outside on a swing rack so it barely fits standing up in the center. The fridge is on a slide to keep storage above it and three 40in drawers should provide a bunch of organized storage. BBQ will get a...

Next up was KOH where I spent 9 days in the desert and had a great time. Ended up mashing the driver rear door, drive rear quarter, and passenger door on the rocks. This thing went nearly everywhere I wanted it to and surprised me to no end. Not having lockers did hamper me a couple times and I...

Got a bit to catch up on it seems. The weekend after Christmas we took the whole family on Mojave Rd. All 5 of us fit well and had a blast so it was a solid first test. Ended up getting a railroad spike through a tire and had to patch it in Baker.

I'd love to do it again as it was a great time but I can't commit to anything 6 months out.
