I'm not fond of chrome either other than the fact thats it's pretty durable. We have been doing a heavy bead blast to texture parts and having them electoless nickeled lately. Kinda of a satin silver finish that holds up well.

H Arms done but not complete.LOL!!!!! Wheel is one of the Douglas 2" backset.  I will be replacing them with Champions of I THINK 6.5" backset.  I know I can use 5.5".  Gotta do a bit of checking.

Got the waterjetted midboard mount plate from Ricks today and it fit perfectly. Thanks Rick. I'll post a couple pics tomorrow of it with welding done.

Sing it with me: h b c d e f g, a i j k l-m-n-o-p ......

On the top, they are "R" arms  or "B" arms and the bottom is a "W" arm or "Pretzel" arm?

Talk about OVERKILL! (compared to the upright)

Nice overkill BTW.... as they say... "That's overkill, but you can never have too much overkill!"

;D

seriously though, what's "wrong" with a 1:1 ratio?

I'll know better tonite what shock ratio will be. Won't 1:1 tho as there is 20" travel. Likely 1.25:1. We'll see. The arms aren't a much overkill as it may seem.They are of 1.25 .095 moly. Time will tell if overkill or not. I'll get an unsprung weight tonite also.

it looks like you mounting at about a third down the arm so it would be around 3:2 right?
I appreciate in theory 1:1 is a recipe for cavitation BUT I would expect in practice thing to be no where near so severe?
eg edge runs 1:1 and I have checked the temp of the shock after a 15 minute harsh run and they were still cold....
I know the pic does not do the uprights justice but they seem "light" compared to the arms?
In my (always) humble opinion, you would be fine with a single tube on top and bottom rather than the double arrangement you have now....

I'm guessing there are no "woods" in it's future? if there were, clipping a tree may well do your chassis damage as the arms seem almost too strong.

Again truly inspiring work ;)

Too witty for you?
I swapped A and H around.... coz fab seemed to confuse A and H
A-arms are a "thing"
H-arms are a figment of ones imagination.... like: B, K, R, W and Pretzel arms are...

get it now?

The pretzel arm is a real thing. Build em too light and they will morph into one.

Yeah, don't want pretzel arms.I'm of a different school when it comes to offroad stuff. IF I tear something up I want it to be TORN UP! So ,overkill is my middle name.
