heims and superpivots are not needed when the link setup is setup correctly to get alot of articulation.

you really want all 8 of the bar ends to be parallel with the axle.

that helps insure a bind free setup.

i will try to take a pic soon of the articulation this truck gets. its crazy

***Dragginbody*** · 07-11-2008, 12:56 AM

no fuel system, floor or bed.

i will be there tho. taking the daily driver bagged 01 jimmy

***Dragginbody*** · 07-11-2008, 02:26 AM

did get the front end all squared up.

got my new sonoma sls bumper in primer. first body panel that is ready for paint! woohoo

***Dragginbody*** · 07-11-2008, 02:30 AM

so now lets talk articulation again..

if you ever see someone post or say that you need heims or some type of super pivot / johhny joint ect ect to get good articulation, refer them to these pics.

straight poly bushings.

now this is just a simple basic 4 link with bags on the bars.

and this is not max articulation at all.

i just lifted the 1 wheel up by hand and slid a jackstand under it.

tolowinorlando · 07-11-2008, 02:59 AM

the articulation makes no sence to me im so new to baggin so take it ez on me but how can itdo that without flexing or bending any thing and so on

***Dragginbody*** · 07-11-2008, 03:21 AM

well a inproper setup would not let the axle to articulate like this without the bushing and bars like you said, bending and binding up.

kandel123 · 07-11-2008, 05:57 PM

Are you keeping the S-10 hood or going with a sonoma hood?

S10_with_go · 07-11-2008, 06:08 PM

you should make it dogleg by putting a bag under the bar as well. if its possible?

***Dragginbody*** · 07-14-2008, 05:00 AM

dog leg is possible if i hook a big dirty air cylinder to one of the link bars and suck up the one side.

i am gonna rock the s10 hood until i find a mint noma hood.

MGSDime97 · 07-16-2008, 10:44 PM

that articulation is the sweet, on a side note, are the bars adjustable?

i wana say my noma hood is dent free and in primer tho

and i do need a glos black s10 hood if u have one that is dent free also with good paint

Mystic_Knight · 07-18-2008, 02:31 PM

Holy crap that articulation's CRAZY. So, just out of curiousity, when the axle is level how much can you shift it side to side? It seems like to do that it'd have to be pretty loose but I'm sure you have that covered. I know it all comes down to the link geometry.

NevurMind85 · 07-18-2008, 05:29 PM

i believe he said it doesnt shift at all.

FLGatorsRule · 07-18-2008, 08:45 PM

You can get it to dog leg without an air cylinder..... This is called a chain bridge, Seth from Twisted minis did this, these pics are from his thread Project Drag Star on mazdabscene.com. He mountsthe bags on the bars and utilizes suspension straps that are mounted to the inside of the bags, so when one bag is filled and the other emptied = the axle pivots on the suspension strap and the wheel comes up. This setup also made it so he could 3 wheel the front, the fuel cell is in the back so with a full tank it could do a standing 3 wheel! Pretty sweet.....

The straps can also be romved if he wanted to, btw....

black_ice_02 · 07-18-2008, 10:32 PM

i still don't see the truck doing a standing 3 even with a full tank. It's gonna take a hell of alot of weight in the back to do that

FLGatorsRule · 07-19-2008, 12:57 AM

here's the link, i doubt he'd lie about it.....

guess i stand corrected. every vehicle i had played with to 3 wheel took some weight distribution to get to do a standin 3. on my hydraulic truck i had to place all my batteries on the back along with the fuel cell

guess since mazda's long bed's are added in the back that leverage must help

Infamous Kustoms · 07-20-2008, 12:22 AM

love that paint on the links and axle of that mazda... very different

biggsdime · 07-20-2008, 03:31 AM

not a big fan of camber but looks nice
