There's pictures of the Oak color on the store page but I don't intend on doing the smooth finish in that color anymore since we can get better durability out of other coatings. We're currently doing batches of tan and black Monstaliner and I'm working on getting the pigments to tint...

We are now able to do smaller batches, more frequently and keep our inventory on the webstore updated. We post updates in our Instagram stories too if you like seeing how they are made. We've sold about 90 of them since this particular thread was last active. Also feel free to call the shop and...

It's much easier if you tighten the two nuts that hold the aluminum strut bracket fully, to compress the sheetmetal, then remove the nuts and install the bracket.

Yes, there were 18 brackets that shipped out with one hole that the bolt would not fit through. Sorry for any inconveniences. Stupid humans! Always making mistakes haha!

Not yet. I'd like to have several models available in the next year. I'll do my best!

Thanks! We are working toward 100 series and other fitments. I need a couple more fabricators in the shop to keep up with the current work load and support a few new products.

There was such a back log of orders on our last batch we didn't get to advertise them before they sold out. For those of you still waiting to buy one, we're currently getting another batch of 80 series panels through the fab shop and they will be available in the next month or so. The Back Bay...

Damn, that's a super nice install!

Not yet, but hopefully in the future we will have FJ60 and Tacoma panels as well.

Pretty sure I have one in bare aluminum. Give me a call at the shop tomorrow between 7am and 3:30. (207) 878-8542 and I'll give you the avalible options. Thanks Adam

Doesn't work like that. Even though you have the same link dimentions described the program is assuming the axle end mounts pivot which is not how radius arms function. You need a radius arm or ladder bar calculator not a 3 or 4 link one. Show us a picture of it modeled with the correct math...

Yeah, you can fix the caster by remounting the axle tube. Caster is not related to the path the axle follows or this discussion. What he's doing is not changing the IC. The mounting points on the axle are not pivots, simply bushing to allow flex. They do not factor into the angle of the arm...

I dont follow your example exactly, but yeah, if you dont change the axle location or the pivot point (IC) the path of the axle wont change no matter how wacky you make the arm shape. Here's some pictures of radius arms I have built in the past. I use the fact that the arm shape does not matter...

Its a hinge. You can change the shape of one leg (which is what hes doing) and it will pivot in the same spot.

"RADIUS ARM TYPE One of the more typical link suspensions for a crawler or daily driver is the Radius Arm system that you would find on something like an 80-series Land Cruiser. This suspension uses two lower arms that attach from the frame down to the axle.... The IC is located by the placing...
