So we finished welding everything, got everyuthing on the truck and when we cycled it, it turned out that the coils on my coilovers were gonna hit the frame rails (that we so carefully pie cut and stripped) so today we cut the rails off and started the backhalf.
Now, to anyone building a toy, if you dont want to backhalf, and want to build a 4 link correctly, dont both, its not gonna happen. Stick with leaf springs.
Secondly as far as building a fuel cell what are you guys using, off the shelf summit cells? They seem like they would work fine, but i wasnt sure of the advatange of them vs a fabricated box with a fuelsafe cell.
the crossmember on the toyota frame proved to be very very useful in mounting everything off of, affter abotu 50 lbs of material was used to plate it triangulate it and then some. also im using a t100 axle and that thing is beefy as HELL. geiser hooked me up with the heims and gave some advice which only confirmed that we were doing stuff in the ring direction. wheelbase got 1.5" longer from the t100 axle and priceshaft plung is around 1/2" for 28" of travel with 55" lower links and i forget the upper link length, its too late.
anyway, the point of this post... what are you guys usin for fuel cells? external fuel pump btw. street legal would be cool but not really necessary. thanks
