Our '78 Postal Jeep gets an upgraded suspension that can handle the trails. We'll start by fabricating our axles and frame for a 4 link setup. #suspension #offroad

    Thank you for the reformat. Took Carcass from a show I couldn't stand to watch (with the reality tv vibe) to one I can't wait to watch.
  • @michaelele1257
    Out of all the shows on the channel this is definitely the best one. Keep doing the crazy artistic stuff you guys do.
  • @LukeEdward
    It really is cool to see the progression from the “rather exuberant” guys from the early episodes, to the respected craftsmen we see today. Jimmy, Jeremy, thank you for letting us appreciate the skill you guys possess, and #Powernation thank you for letting these guys become who they are today. I know that I will appreciate the #Carcass show for years to come.

    You can’t run a steering box with a triangulated four-link front suspension; you’ll have uncorrectable bump steer. You either need to run full hydraulic steering, or run a three-link with a track bar.
  • @fsarfino
    Loving all the fabrication on this build !!!!
  • @electrontube
    the slot-and-tab design you can build in with the CAD software really shines here. this is just well-thought design meeting experience.
  • @hemihead6645
    I've always wanted to build one of my own. I hope you guys are available for tech support over the next 10 years.
  • I would have built a different crossmember with clearance for the link bars, I mean you do have a CNC table...
  • Nice, this is power of USA people, make America great again. Hello from Europe
  • @Onethirtytwo
    Now about a mile of weld bead to hold it all together!
  • @FJTovar
    Well, I hope you don't forget to put a top reinforcement bar on the shocks hoop, because all that tension from the shocks will bend the chassis inward. And the brackets for the axle links seems too weaks. YOU GUYS KEEP ON MOVING, EVERYTHING GOES VERY WELL.
  • I enjoy these videos so much!! I feel like I learn more here, then when I was in school
  • @rsdaarud
    What a blast! Killer shop and suspension masters!
  • @daveg5847

  • @hakuaakash3823
    Thank you guys, from you I got lots of knowledge about automobiles
  • @Versatech17
    The production and effort plus knowledge. Respect
  • @muniac_llc
    This is a great video. Thanks for doing it. You do create very nice welds with your technique and setup. The camera shots of the welding are also very good. TIG welding has an artistic aspect to it. When the helmet goes down all else goes away except the puddle.
