|  My F100 rebuild
I started with this  4x4lover56/My%20F100/F100jump-1.jpg[/IMG]  The truck was begging for TIB suspension so off came the f front axel.  Went through 4 differant designs before coming up with these arms.    Then onto the rear suspension. New rear links  And shock mounts.  Mock up before rear shocks.   |

| Re: My F100 rebuild
So I entered a build off in the rc short course forum in the desert section. This rig has not been getting any love. I kinda hit a wall on suspension design so I came back to the F100 I made some new radius arms.  |

Thanks rambuller I hope to inspire more builds like it. I know I am not the first with tib suspension but with just a couple of simple hand tools and a little creativity anything can be done. Check out the build off in the desert section of rc short course forum. |
