It’s a video we have to do for sure. I have my check but we will talk to a few shops to get some more ideas and out that video together here in the future
Hell yeah! Stoked to see this! I would love to know the pros and cons of the 3 link kit, could it be a daily driver. Keeping to stock fuel tank and the insane travel is very enticing!
If you look at the blue truck, that’s a perfect example of a more daily friendly build out back. Capable truck for sure and can do both things. Only drawback is weakness in the frame. While the suspension can do a lot, the frame and cab can’t. Not without a cage to add the rigidity it needs and safety required because at those speeds when things go wrong, they do wrong bad.
I drive the blue one 99 percent of the time. It’s a fine daily driver. The con is it’s not a 4 link. The 4 link setup will Be closer to 32 inches of travel. And less sway in the rear which is hard to explain compared to a 4 link
Both a 3 link and 4 link kit is going to work the same. The difference will be the axle moving left to right through out the travel with a 3 link. Sway is all control with a sway bar and proper setup. I daily drive a 4 link truck on 40s and spool and zero issues there is also many ways to build these trucks with a fuel cells behind the axle and keep it all emissions compliant.
Do you have a custom axle? Most guys I’ve seen with the custom axles have it locked so you get the funky chirping of the tires on the street on every turn.
helio if you hate the cup wiggle go to junk yard look for 2004 and up lincoln navigator or expedition they have rubber cup inserts that have several steps for different size drinks
Very true, but the struts have some play in them when not active. If the tires were not up top, it would definitely work. But because of the weight of the tires I think it would fail. We did not do a closeup, but if you look closely, you can see that the manual pin used now has worn away at the metal a bit already. And that’s much stronger tubing and stainless panels. Even if 2 latches were used, the vibrations of off-roading at the high speeds this truck can hit will cause them to fail.
I agree with Pedro here. All shops have problems setting proper lead times. And like all shops he’s been struggling with keeping talent and material shortages.
@@dynamicweaponsolutions because no one’s front kits pull the travel numbers they claim the math doesn’t lie unless the LCA are stupid long and your running around with 96-98” track width to get the proper motion ratio on the lower arm is only way your getting 16+ inches of wheel travel with 10” stuff. Now Chevy have a frame that is 1.5” narrower roughly per side why kits like Izzy fab pull 17+ on there front of there trucks. Rear link setup same think a 16” stroke shock can only stroke so much when the motion ratio of the trailing arm only allows it to move X amount. There is very basic math and geometry to figure out with in 1” of the travel on the front and rear with a tape measure on measure LCA and also trailing arms to get a ratio to what is the max potential of a setup with leaning shocks into the cab and having then less then 90* at full bump. Everyone gets all horny and excited for numbers most kits are pulling 12-14” of actual wheel travel on the front and majority are thinking they have 16+. Properly tune setups make a world of difference. But travel numbers sell so they sell it based on no shocks is my guess and what it’ll cycle metal to metal.
Quite some time ago I was talking to the previous owner of the blue truck. It's just sooooo cool
YeH, previous owner put together a cool truck. I still follow him
I remember seeing the blue one being built. Love Doug’s builds. Mine goes back to Doug next year for some work.
yeah agreed. I was there with both the blue and white truck being built. Both impressive builds but that blue on pops
Thank you 🙏
A video about a check list and what to check and how to check them before a run will be a great video !

@@97ihdiesel so the samething I said but better lol nice

NICE!! I didn't know the dynamicsolutions guy was a big raptor guy.
That’s surprising as w roost them all the time but very shadowbanned so makes since lol
🤣🤣 yeah he’s a huge fan

The jack is 242 and taxes if you go in and prepay for it. At Harbor freight
Wow. That’s crazy
good video
Use a Cadillac Trunk latch, it's really easy to set up, it pulls itself tight.
Not sure that would hold up with all the weight and vibrations this truck will see.
Well seeing as the door is supported by struts, the latch isnt going to carry all that weight.

@Keep It Dirty Off-Road possibly the cab latch off of a LMTV or MTV(m1090 and such)
Look for it at Midwest military equipment, it's a hydraulic latch.
That’s a very beefy latch and could work.
Damn you @Keep It Dirty Off-Road ,Watching your videos is costing me money!
fuck it! keep them coming...
🤣🤣 I know the feeling.
My Glock is going to him in a few weeks to get the optics cut for my Hollowsun sight.
Nice!!
Sweet and thank you
What swingset setup is on it? I blew another steering rack and I'm curious
Not sure. I’ll ask Pedro to respond on that one
Evil mfg swing set steering
Has evil's customer service and lead times got any better? There are Horror stories all over Facebook..
Everyone takes a long time man. They build good stuff. Supply change is charge even in our industry. He’s also short staffed but kills it.
I agree with Pedro here. All shops have problems setting proper lead times. And like all shops he’s been struggling with keeping talent and material shortages.
Nice builds but them travel numbers are so out in left field.
Oh yeah how so lol?

Ill give him 60 just to get a ride
It’s a blast for sure man.
