Will it pass the jump test!? :-D

Anti squat; how much it raises or lowers under firm acceleration & braking. Full articulation, bump steer, any adjustments, compression travel, droop travel, ...

Full flex out

A lot of guys have to add a stabilizer bar after going to a 3-4 set up, to stabilize their ride. Radius arms are really built in stabilizers. Curious if you'll need one now.

Have you guys ever built an articulation ramp to check how far your rig will stretch

Hopefully we get some testing soon!

I have been wanting to do a video of the 4 link calculator, especially the measurement part

The fronts are 2.0” x 14”, rears are 2.5” x 16”

@@RecklessWrenchGarage thanks for letting me (us) know! i've got 14" 2.5 kings going into my JKU soon, and i don't think it'll have NEARLY the amount of flex you showed... that's just crazy! i enjoyed watching!

Yeah parts were the insta 360 and some with GoPro hero 7

Wow! you can count?! all the way up to 4! so smart...

They are fox 2.0 2 inch bumps and I used limit straps from Kartek off-road

Discount tire sells them. They are not a true beadlock because I drive this on the road, but the rock ring on them is legit and actually made for bashing on the rocks. www.discounttire.com/buy-wheels/level-8-bully-pro-5

Thank you. Currently, we plan to hold onto them for a possible future project.

What setup exactly was that old radius arm? By the way my sons and i dig the channel. Awesome work brother!

The radius arms were from James Duff. Thanks! We’re glad you enjoy it.

Thank you

I started a build thread on there a while back. Haven’t been on forums in a while.

Did you build it or buy it? I vaguely remember it being built in a storage shed I think lol. Thing was legit

Might be a different one then. We built this in my driveway.

We have Instagram and Facebook under the same name, reckless wrench garage. There are links in the video description as well 👍🏻we might organize a wheeling session in the future when being in public is ok again

RecklessWrenchGarage That’d be awesome. I’ll give you a follow on both platforms. I’m PheasantDuty on IG. Would def love to see that ranger and all your other cool stuff in person.

Even if those companies didn't sponsor us we would still be using their parts. We only accept sponsors from companies and products that we truly believe in. The sponsors help us with parts so we can invest money into camera gear, projects and trips 👍🏻

Yeah I made a new engine crossmember out of 3/16 plate. It's much smaller and tighter to the oil pan than the stock one. No issues yet. You can see it at 14:40

It's the stock 4x4 pitman arm

That really depends on what you consider to be affordable. I have heard a lot of good things about Harbor Freight's multi process machine, but we have not used one ourselves. We got a Miller 211 and esab 215 recently and have been enjoying the new machines.

I would reccend the titanium 110 220 welder from harbor freight. I have a Lincoln 110 now and that will be my next welder. Go check out the reviews. :)

@@RecklessWrenchGarage yeah maybe something for a couple hundred bucks, a $1000+ welder is near impossible for the average Joe to buy on a normal years salary (under $50k) a year or if it's just their rig they're doing.. as far as shake down, hmmmm, I'd say maybe how about flexing out that axle

@@treasureseekerintheway3515 I will check that out thank you

I have the Chicago Electric 170 (i think) its a 220 welder. I paid $170 for it and I gotta say so far it works great. From Harbor Freight.

This was back when we were in New Mexico.

My lower links are around 40 inches and the upper link is slightly shorter and is around 37 inches. I was more concerned with better steering geometry through travel than pinion angle, so that is why my upper is shorter. I never put anything about my trans mount on video because I don't have one. The aluminum mount cast into my transmission case was broken off the case when I got it from the junkyard. My transmission and transfer case are supported by a mount off the back of the atlas, and it is solid mounted since my engine is solid mounted.

@@RecklessWrenchGarage thanks for the reply man. I have a 94 4 door explorer with 4 link rear 3 link front on 05 SD 1 tons, v8, 4r70w trans and atlas.. so you don't have a trans mount and that would make sense and allow a ton of room... I also have the atlas support mount from TMR... mine being 99% rock crawler/trail and 14" king coil overs on the front I want to be able to use all my travel.. so I gotta go longer on the upper link. just saw/watched your last video about what's going on with you guys etc. Good luck with everything

@@RecklessWrenchGarage those measurements are from center of axle tube to the center of the heims on the frame mount locations?

No those measurements were just eye to eye on the heims. I don't have the truck readily available right now to get exact measurements. Not having a trans mount is a lot less headache and saves room. Usually the trans mount kind of gets in the way of either the front driveshaft or hangs really low. I also have the TMR atlas mount. The three mounting points of my drivetrain has worked good for a long time.

@@RecklessWrenchGarage thanks for the info, appreciated.

I don't really measure it by "4 inch lift" "6 inch lift" like a kit that you usually would buy. I set the ride height and tire size that I want and go from there

@@RecklessWrenchGarageok thanks

It's a Miller 211 running on the 220v plug.

If you are my neighbor please stop by and we can discuss this. Otherwise don't assume anything about zoning laws, HOA or my neighbors feelings to me working on my property.

This is why I live out in the country. Because little ninnies won’t come over and actually talk to you about the issues they have with you in person. They go tattle tell on you Really though I’m sure you were not making racket after or before hours. This kind of crap can really put the clamlets to shame:). Build looks great. I’m curious to see how 3 link handles at highway speeds and turns.

USA! USA! USA! Land of the free to do whatever I want in my driveway 🇺🇲🦅🍻

Why are you trying to mock them for having more freedom

The front is 200/200, the rear is 100/150

If it’s a single bracket, weld both sides of it if it will carry a load. If it’s a boxed bracket, you’ll be fine to weld only along the outside. In many cases, you wouldn’t be able to reach inside to weld it.

And no weld is better than a crappy weld that introduces a bunch of stress risers that propagate into the good welds.

Yes

.25 wall thickness

@@RecklessWrenchGarage Thanks a lot

This is brought up every time this subject comes up. Yes, technically the track bar makes it a 4 link, and a parallel 4 link is really a 5 link; however, when discussing the basic setup, it is not counted as one of the links.

why is it not counted if it is used to locate the diff , sounds like a lame excuse to me , its included in a 5 link system but not in your 3 link , sorta dusnt add up there guys

That is a good question. 🤔 It’s ok, we won’t disown you, just harass you a little.

You would be surprised. We seem to be the neighbors that everyone wants car advice, maintenance and household repairs. If your neighbors know you have a welder you seem to make friends.

I'm the neighbor no one wants I do this stuff in a apartment building lol In Irvine CA.
