Ghetto fab / Hack fab

Why the fuck is that mower AWD? :lmao:
My brother and I bought it for my mom because "she can't afford to pay someone to mow her lawn, or do it herself". She couldn't manage this one either so after like 15 years we brought it to our shop and use it for my dad's lawn. It's kinda a piece of shit, but it was taking entirely too long for the workers to push the push mower :homer:.
 
That's what I get for not going outside of CC, this thing is full of gems.

How 'bout this extreme crawler. Got a lot of mileage out of this one at the old place.

Oh, and don't pass out around the campfire or you might get "Two Bit Whore" sharpied on your face.

Why take the leaves out when you 4 link something? It's just more work, and it's already located in position!
 
Just add shackles to the front of the springs too and it's set.

I used to wheel with a guy that had an S-10 rear suspension built like that and it worked decent although he twisted the fuck out of the ends of the leafs and the shackles on more than one occasion.

There were a few class 8's and 7's built like that when they still required leaf springs. Needs really long shackles and uniballs instead of bushings.

Would probably work decent with some high arch buggy leafs but you might as just mount some coils at that point.

There was quite a few rigs set up like that here in the very early days (late 90's, early 00's) - shackle at the front, buggy leaf + shackle at the rear.
One in particular worked quite well and won everything.

Lot of ¼ elliptic + 4-link here back in the day as well...
 
Just checked out the add.....IT SOLD!!!!!!!! The drivers side lower coilover bolt is like four inches long and that fab work, AMAZING.
dude that bought it is scrapping pretty much everything. Parting out the shocks but everything else is garbage. Will use the frame and cab to build a new truck. Scary thing is people were interested in buying the "long travel kit"
