fj80 3 link questions (1 Viewer)

[Isotel]

Got anymore fotos of that rig. I can't see the arms there. Did they modify the mounts at all? I would like to move my arms up as much as possible and if that means re-using parts... then win for me, that's how i fab.

No good ones of the Radius arms, but the bushings are on top of each other rather than one in front of the other like on a stock FJ80. about 5" of seperation.. its a Custom Arm, They lasted 120 miles, and are being redesigned.. I think the key would be bushings with more deflection. My Buggy will have a 4 link, but radius arms can get the job done!

That's a sick idea! But yeah i can see fatigue coming into play... gonna explore that idea as well as a Cherokee type link.

Not if you're a band member like myself!

Here's a pic found on ebay, looks like the factory arms have been cut then flipped and mount raised...

Course, you could use the stock mounts, cut out the front of the fender and extend the wheel base

Very true...

too much work, you'd then to fab some crazy long pitman arm.... unless you had FULL hydro!
