Comanche Build, Dr. Thunder's

[giantsfan10]

I work for dominion at millstone power station. I'm a nuclear mechanic.

that place has been making a bunch of racket lately, please quiet that thing down.

[DrThunder]

Little more work done today, made the tracbar and started the bracket, cycle the suspension a little and there's no binding.


Some parts came in

fancy

thats a tall fuggin trackbar mount

any worries on it hitting the oil pan?

[Kyle]

Single shear on the axle end trac bar mount eh?

No, like I said, I started the tracbar mount.

I made it that high to keep even with the drag link.
No, it will bump stop out just cunt hairs before it hits.

[Even]

No plans for a truss?


And how close is a few cunt hairs? I would personally want about a full inch clearance between the two. Poly bumpstops are going to compress more under real world conditions than they will when you are in the shop cycling the suspension.

No truss, walls of the tube are 1/2" dom. How beef ya really need it? The thing already weighs a metric ton


I'll probably have about a half inch of clearence between the tracbar and the pan when all is said and done. I'm using the stock 88 comanche bump stops which are super duper hard and short so their won't be a lot of compression.

I assume the Heim joints are for the steering? What size are they and where did you pick them up from?

my 7/8 heims from ruffstuff were that price a few months ago.

i thought i had plenty of bumpstop, when cycling my suspension i had plenty of clearance. but my truss thats about 2.5" above my axle tube still smacks my oil pan

Corey, you're like the most motivated person i've ever seen. this truck is constantly changing

[Mike]

nice corey . hope you are gonna have all this motivation in October, gonna need some help from you on my jeep , its getting built once and for all.

Well I think I'm gonna go ahead with the trac-bar the way it is for now and see how it will work out. I really don't want to lower it because I'll end up getting stupid amounts of bump steer. My shocks are gonna be setup to bottom out about a half inch past the bumps as well so if I go past the bumps I'll just smash my shocks
