ordered a different panhard bar mount... I looked at these - neat idea but way too complex for something I want to last 100k miles
how annoying, I'm going to have to look for the pictures on my travelling computer... sometimes things don't upload and other times the camera just simply doesn't take the picture... I probably took 20 pictures of the system because it's very complex but solves a problem that the SEMA trucks have... that is, they want variable height but be able to drive it whatever height...
this is the back of that system
basically they replace the shackle with a part that expands but still works as a shackle... quite complex and fun engineering.... but I also don't hate the SEMA trucks. wouldn't own one but admire the tech and problem solving (which is the same as low riders trying to make hydraulics work and still have a suspension).... not my cup of tea but impressive no matter the style.
this is what I'm copying
except pumpkin is on the other side
hog out the holes for larger bolts
install ubolts
test fit successful
next up for the rear is going to be traction bars, but first I want to finish the front.... in that vein, waiting for parts...
and work on the 4 post lift... 6 hour assembly - must be because there are no instructions.... smh.
