DIY Torsion chassis link: How To Build a Torsion Chassis

I have to second this idea since you have a lot of other fabbing to do to get rolling. You could mount all your parts on a torsion chassis to crawl around while you fab up your final chassis, links, shocks and other misc mounts.

Good luck.



Does anyone else feel that this build isn't happening? I'm not trying to start any BS but after reading the thread I feel like this is a trolling thread. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

It's projects like these that make me kick myself for getting out of CNC machining...good thing at-hme CNCs are getting cheaper.....good luck on the project!!! Looks like you got all the fab skills you need.

[Alljackedup]

I know you guys are thinking "theres no way this will ever happen if its been this long and he still doesnt have pics" but I never expected to jump out there and throw one together in a week. This will take lots of time. I'm just kinda takin it easy...and when i have something worth showing off i will. I'm not gonna take a pic of some rough alum chassis plates lol. Let me get the chassis together and such and ill post pics. Tonights prom so that marks today off the build list. I'm going in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EllTOhLhYao

Theres pics AND video.

Got my chassis plate done today...next one comes tomorrow hopefully. Got some parts in for my real jeep so those come first.

[Sydwaiz]

Is that an Airchime on top of that thing?

[C-MuRdaA]

The thing that me thinking was the 4 star rating on a 5 page thread with no useful information in it. Not only that but there have been a lot of posts praising how cool this thread is.
All I see is a person pretty much "thinking out loud" about their plans for what could turn out to be a pretty cool build.

[zueslilbuddy]

After reading 5 pages of this thread I must say.

He drove a Peterbuilt to PROM, that right there should clue you in that he is probably not married, and many countries outside the US wear their wedding band on the right finger. Culture yourself a little bit before flamin' someone about being gay ya uncultured antagonistic snot nosed little brat! If yer gonna bash him, bash him for all the talk without the walk, not for his ring finger choice.
PS If your not a snot nosed little brat, then grow the f**k up. This place is for help and advice, not flaming people cuz they're a little different than what you are capable of understanding....

PPS If this offended anyone other than Chaffee, please accept my apologies for the slightly offensive language.

I skimmed this all thinking there would be a start to a home made rig. I am let down by the immense amount of fail. This thread sucks.

Learn how to read and know what you read. He didn't say he couldn't afford it ,he said he don't have time.

Lets see your crawler.

[Sydwaiz]

Man you guys are brutal. And who gives a shit about wearing a ring on his ring finger? WTF? It's a ring, on a ring finger, nothing else. It doesn't mean shit, especially on his right hand. He's 16 with a hot prom date. A crawler would be the last thing on my mind

Cut him some slack. He came here looking for information and advice. Rome wasn't built overnight.
