76kcfdeng is right, he is running a 3/4 elliptical, a 1/4 elliptical would be using half the leaf spring with one end mounted to a shackle on the axle end and the other side hard mounted to the frame. 76kcfdeng, awesome build. I also have a 1:1 FJ-40 and it inspired me to pay way to much for a lexan 40 body and put it on my nylint crawler. One day I'll have to do what your doing though. That is too cool. Keep up the great work. What color are you going to paint the body? |

I beg to differ since an eliptical suspension mounts the flipped spring directly to the axle housing via shackle while a buggy spring mounts the spring to a shackle wich is attatched the the other leave spring. |

The 3/4 elliptical is often called a buggy spring. When you are running the standard SOA suspension like the front of his rig here, it is a 2/4 or 1/4 elliptical, hence the spring mounting in two places or half elliptical. With the rear like he has it with the buggy spring or 3/4 elliptical the spring mounts in 3 places, or has 3 places to pivit....3/4 of a circle or elliptical. Here is a site where he did a 1/4 elliptical on the rear of his FJ-40 buggy...scroll down to the rear suspension http://medusa.ih8mud.com/cruiser/FJ4...n/Springs.html I can't imagine the time you have into that. I started on a 4 link today that is not near as complicated as your set up and its kicking my butt. I can't wait to see the finished product. |

| 1/4, 3/4, 2/4 who cares! I love to see something different. Great job on the build up! It would be nice though if you would pay the $20.00 to RCC and post the pics. I tend to not look at the pictures if I have to click on a link. All the bickering got me interested and I had to see what it was all about. I lok forward to seeing the finished truck. |

What are the leafs made out of, and how wide/long are they? Looks killer. I'm going to make a similar rig. |
