    Great video! I really want one of these but I tend toward off road stuff.
    Softening the suspension up is going to give it that little bit of extra ability so I can take it off road gently on mild dirt, big smooth outcrops, compacted sand etc, not heavy crawling by any means but just enough to make it a little more versatile than a pavement runner.
    Just what I needed, thanks!

      You are welcome I am right there along with you I think it would be awesome to turn this into an overlanding van and go as far as putting dual tires in the back. Before I push myself to make this chassis four-wheel drive might buy the metal version I fear this chassis will not be stiff enough for a 4x4. Thanks

    I built a trailer for my van and did the front end, trans, drive shaft, and rear end all in metal.I also gave the whole body on my D12 truck a 1/2 inch body lift it helped with clearance for the rear end to give it more suspension and fit bigger tires on it.

    The torsion bar on the D12 and t he r d42 are different.

    I got the metal suspension kit that came with 2 positions on the upper control arm to put the torsion spring, one soft and one a bit stronger for the suspension lift.

    My suspension was just the opposite you said yours was too stiff mine was way too weak like whenever I would push down on my van it would not come up on its own strength so I remedied this by adding another torsion bar I'm running to and it's just about enough to where it'll fully recover but still flexes when it goes over bumps I wonder why mine was weak

      They have different thicknesses. Maybe wrongly assembled

    Very nice video! I was wondering if locking the rear differentials would make this truck better at overcoming obstacles? Or it is better to leave the rear differentials alone?

    I have a d32. It has a thinner torsion bar. Its way too soft. Alreeady broken some parts out ob suspension arms with small stones low on the ground. When driving it nealry always bottomed out.
