That's funny. I saw it driving around town here in Orem a few days ago. It's a very interesting looking Jeep...

I think that I remember it, but if it's the one that I am thinking of, it didn't have the exo cage and flames last time I saw it.

xj-punk- What's wrong with the suspension? It's the same thing that's under the Hero.

the upper links are sideloading the joints... why not put that joint vertical like it should be? rockkrawler is famous for having welds break too...

I can't see what's on the other end of that control arm, but assuming it's just a straight control arm with another joint or bushing on the other end, (not a three link "Y" thing or something else goofy) that heim is only under tension or compression (depending on the vehicle movement). It is not under any side loads. With it mounted rotated 90 degrees from traditional I can see that it might wear out the joint a little faster because the ball is rotating with the axle moving up and down, rather than the ball just rotating around the bolt with every bump, but other than that there's nothing wrong with mounting it like that.

sorry...
thats weird about the joints, i thought it was always seen as a bad idea to have it take all the up and down force while being flat... would make more sense to let it roll up and down instead of actually twisting
guess i was mistaken.
it also looks like it is tuned for a lot of AS... i never noticed that before.

It's the same as the Hero, very neutral and stable. If you watched Scott you would have seen that.

yeah the hero was super sick... it did well, needed some fender trimming in the rear but it did well. is that who was driving? don't know him but he was a way nice guy, he talked to me about my heep for a second.Andy said:
it looks like it is tuned for a lot of squat because the vert sep at the axle is a lot more than the "frame"
he said it rode nice but swayed a lot and a antirock would fix that.
