Ford Bronco 4 Link Suspension Build (2020) - Reckless Wrench Garage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 гру 2020
- In this episode, we start building suspension on a 1994 Ford Bronco. For the rear suspension, we are fabricating a triangulated 4 link for offroad. It is getting 16-inch coilover shocks and a sterling rear axle swapped in with the suspension.

Friggin sweet, there is so little content on UA-cam for 80-96 Broncos 👍🏻
kris is getting fancy with the tig, i like it!
Love how these dudes use humble tools from hobo freight and not all snap on or Mac.
YASSSSS!! You two crack me up, loved the new style of video with random interjections. Glad that you did the whole rear axle in one vid too. Glad you both are healthy.
Rockin' out and wrenchin' on trucks. Gotta luv it.
Yes. More please. More grinding. More welding. More plasma-ing.
That first song was a banger. One playing while you'll were wrenching.
Top shelf content. I like that you included the little details of the teardown along with the build. That's usually glossed over in fab videos. And you didn't try to act like experts on the geometry.
You did the Ferris Bueller 😆
Thanks guys!! Enjoyed the video!!
Yay for content from you blokes!
you had me with that head move at the 1:00 mark, rofl. love you guys!
When I was editing this video that got me every time even though I have seen it like 60 times lol
@@RecklessWrenchGarage 🤣🤣🤣
Very well done, great work on the truck as well as the video it’s self. Top notch all around!!
Nice work guys!
Very cool video. And why couldn’t I stop watching at the end. 😅😂😂
Yall are top notch. The filming and editing is getting really good and the welds look awesome too.
hay , good to see you back. Missed your in put .good video.
Step by step plz,you guys workmanship is amazing keep the amazing work up Gentlemen really appreciate it. Please make it a step by step vid please thanks and everytime something goes rong or in anticipation of something going rong tell why you changed the step in anticipation of how it went rong plz thanks.love your guys work Lesotho Africa.
Awesome!
editing is getting polished. kicking ass fellas.
A walk through video on the calculator would be helpful , some of the do's and don't of why you would want it set certain ways. How to pick a ride height based on ______ , how to size your heim joints , tubing. Why you like a 111 wheel base vs 101. Any tips or tricks you have found to make life easier.
Very well done on the welds, look nice and deep/clean. Might want to tighten up that frame by welding in like 2 or 3 inch wide strips every 4 or 5 inches as a quick 'boxing' of them. Not a ton of steel and it really helps it out.
Thanks. I’ve been practicing quite a bit. We won’t be boxing the frame, but we will be adding some more cross members/bracing.
Nice video dudes!!
Talking about the 3/4 link calculator, Is possible to have a video of a walking through line by line of the spread sheet? I'm not familiar with some of the concepts and I would like to use it for future project, thanks a lot!!
You made that shit look easy. Looking forward to more.
After doing 4 or 5 link builds, it goes pretty smooth and quick!
Please do a calculator walk through for those of us that have never used one before. A video on the pro's and con's of different systems would be helpful too ( single vs double triangle vs parallel 4 link) and more info on how and why 70 is a good number for anti squat. Thanks
My neighbors would lose their minds if I did this. Love it
Hang a Reckless Wrench flag outside, they will expect much less from you 🤣
Thank you for not filling your video with terrible trap music.
I can tell how much more effort you put into the editing on this one. This is a quality episode. Keep it up.
I'm interested to see how the frame holds up to flex from a 4 link, because mine flexes like a wet noodle on the stock leaves :).
That’s a telltale sign Chris edited the video. 👍🏻
The factory frame flexes quite a bit, but this will have a few added supports due to the shock hoop bracing and link cross member.
good👍👍
LMAO the subtitles before I click on vid.... "Welcome back to another episode of "breathless french garage" "
Nice! Auto-subtitles are a great comedic intro piece. 😂
could you make a video explaining what all the geometry means
I see some TIG time made it in. I'm assuming Kris quickly realized just how much slower it is than MIG, and moved back to that for the rest of the stuff. My one personal preference and suggestion would be TIG for the links if you're gonna do it anywhere. Nice work, and keep it up. We'll catch you... Staying reckless on the trail ;)
Conveniently, the owner approved of me practicing TIG on this, so most of the truss work is TIG. The frame side brackets are tig welded together, then covered by MIG just to be safe. I plan to get more TIG practice where I can, but I want to make sure it’s going to hold together as well. 😁
How do you take the measurements of the lift that you are going to run? Thanks
Hi guys im bit of noob with link suspensions and had some queries. How do you add lift ? How do you know your caster is correct and how do you adjust it? Does it affect handling on road ?
All these questions are for an offroad vehicle.
Someone clearly got a new camera! Next level video and editing. That hard work did not go unnoticed guys. A+.
What camera yall using now?
Thank you! I filmed this on a Sony A6400
Washington eh? I’ll take a few guesses y’all are either in the Spokane area, tri cities, or Moses lake. I grew up in Davenport little town in Lincoln county about 30-40 miles south west from Spokane
Sweet build guys!
We’re in NM. Tricked you! 😆
Are you in Surprise, Arizona? Looks like my old neighborhood. There's no way I could wrench in my driveway back then, lol. There's not enough videos on these. Keep them coming. 👍
No, we’re in NM.
You’ll probably get by with it but I wouldn’t get under that truck with only those little pipe jacks.
Each one is rated to 2500 lbs. They shouldn't be an issue.
what did you end up doing with the front?
Hey guys I’d love to know what your ground clearance measurement is at Ride Height ? Love the build great video keep’em comin !!!!
Once we finish the front and get it settled, we’ll be able to have an answer. 👍🏻
Amazing how many people set up their suspension where their bumps never touch. Lol
Заебись круто делаете, тоже собрался делать 4 линк, подписка!)
Привет! Где на тяги такие шаровые найти ? Тоже такую ходовку построю.
@@user-jn5le8ro3c я нашел в строительном , но мне показались слабоватыми они , сделал на сб
So I was just looking at some tmr 4 link and 3 link mounts on Canada’s version of Craigs list and wasn’t sure if I was gonna bite the bullet, but It’s looking like I will. Oh and I’m sure there plenty beefy but anyone got an opinion if they should be stout enough for a Cummins swapped Chevy square body?
TMR makes fantastic parts, I would not hesitate to use any of their stuff.
I am suprised that the nea sayers dont complain
I only wield my grinder with extreme prejudice and hate 😂
Got any more updates on the bronco? I would like to see the 3 link setup in the front
We've been on hiatus for a while due to some moving. Once we get squared away, we'll catch everyone up on the videos.
"Limit straps"?
Do you have videos that show these?
We added limit straps after we built the 3 link for the front. We currently do not have a video showing them done.
You don't see nice clean frame's or body panels like that in maine on any vehicle of that age
Understandable. The Stuburban came from Rhode Island and the frame was in surprisingly good condition. The body, not so much.
@@RecklessWrenchGarage wow surprised the frame was that clean coming from Rhode Island in maine they use a calcium and a salt mix on the roads and it eats metal i plated a frame on a 2016 truck just last year felt bad for the guy that calcium is nasty stuff
How many days did that take? 1-2? 2-3? More?
It can be done in 2-3 days if you have all the parts ready.
Did anyone catch how they measured the pinion angle or came up with the tilt
Since we are using a double cardan joint on the drive shaft, we set the pinion to point directly at the tail of the transfer case.
Bro are those the 6 ton hf leg crushers hahahhahhaha
The ones under the frame are 12 ton stands. We did have two 6 ton stands that were part of the recall, but they were returned a while ago.
ive done a lot of very bad things to broncos over the years... but nothing as bad as the fender cuts. Just back half it at that point. Otherwise... enjoyed everything else.
Don't worry, it's not staying like that 😂
How much to 4link my k20
What is a competition cut?
It's kind of hard to describe, but basically you cut the fender from the front of the opening all the way back to the tail light. It's common on jeep buggies. Kris has a plan to weld the fenders back together and maintain the factory looking wheel arch
Whats the plan for the front?
Solid axle and 3 link.
You sure you’re done, you’re still talking!
Reckless Wrench what happens when a ford guy and chevy guy get bonded by war. The offspring of the stub tirehumping the ranger is a lil twin screw Nissan
Twin screw Nissan...🤔
Harbor Freight (Horrible Freight) hard rubber wheel chocks.... only decent product in their entire chain of stores. Nothing to break and can't be broken in normal use. Carry on.
I missing something? (re: Fing Bastard Off Road Shocks stickers)
It's in the previous video about shock tuning. I Frankensteined some fox DSC reservoirs onto my king coilovers
@@RecklessWrenchGarage Ahhhh... Ok... This was recommended to me as well... Add Fox DSC reservoirs
America 🇺🇸 💪🏼🤙🏼🔧🔩
Awesome video. But that bronco is ugly as F#@$ with those fenders cut out. Ruins the great work you did.
I highly recommend byou subscribe to watch the video if Kris making new fenders. And check out our instagram for previews we posted a few days ago
