Retard Engineering

Not everyone who lifts a truck has a clue...

http://128.83.80.200/taco/scarysteering.html

Many, many pictures and descriptions of completely idiotic fabrication on 4x4's.

Be warned - if you have ANY engineering knowledge or ANY interest in vehicle dynamics, these pictures more than likely will cause countless hours of twitching and other nervous system disorders.

I'm still twitching.

when i saw that site a few years ago, i was up for almost a week without being able to go to sleep.
every time i layed down, i would have a nightmare the suspention fairys were going to attack the rattletrap, and would wake up in a cold sweat, forcing me to go outside and protect the rattletrap with the 10 gauge shotgun for the night.

I have some angle iron and a flux-core welder! We wouldn't even have to measure anything! I have enough shortish pieces in the 2-6" range!

I'll make him a nice z-bar drag link and a 14" deep pitman arm out of copper tubing!
