The only issue I’ve had with him is painting all my shit silver instead of black.

More travel, more clearance, and no gearboxes?

This setup looks fantastic!On the conventional three link (with panhard) he designed for us at my request, the bar is 9” longer than stock made possible via the custom axle and panhard mounts. With 20” of travel there is only one inch of lateral axle movement, but even then you can occasionally feel the tendency to steer if going over bumps at the correct angle.

I forgot about this setup. I was thinking of your conventional 3 link with Panhard he did. Thats the way I would go.Missed the second part
We didn’t just bend it, we snapped the fucker pulling into our driveway aka we bent it a lot of time prior to that. Granted it was one of the first links he ever made. His new ones are much thicker.
And while the link is significantly stronger, I think we’re still going to go conventional three link with panhard bar like the long travel build. The current issues I have with the wishbone three link and the mullet build:
With the bigger D60 differential housing it pushed the upper link location much higher, and raised our antisquat value significantly. Good for climbing I guess but we’d like to get it back down.
With the 14” coilovers and 1.33 motion ratio we have a ton of very controlled and stable travel, but there is a lot of axle steer when fully articulated. You can see the axle pointing inward a little in the below picture. It’s not a huge deal but it is something to account for. And this picture is with the limit straps holding back roughly two inches of travel.
There is A LOT of force on that third link. It’s a 1 1/4” end with a 3/4” bolt and beefy as hell but still. It’s taking on a lot compared to the rest of the links.
I have a hard time calling that other one a 3 link. Even though it only has 3 links that upper has some triangulation built in and will carry some real lateral loads. 3.5 link.

Must be "Aircraft Grade" or "Aerospace Grade"
Bonus points for using the word "Billet" even if you don't know what it means.

I always thought “billet” had something to do with guns so I just assumed it was cool.
You spelled that incorrectly. Shouldn’t it be BULLET… thinks to self, maybe I shouldn’t comment here.. nah, I am pretty sure this dude is just making up words…

In more serious questions for the universe-who thought it was a good idea to put raisins in cinnamon rolls? What are we even doing with that combination?

There is a good reason Cinnamon Toast Crunch with Raisins does NOT exist

Need to get a swaybar on there to level the body outI reached out to Vasher and unfortunately I am still waiting on a response regarding a triangulated 3 link for my Prius.
