Sheeezuss... drop links from hell- hella scary 
Good for posing, anything else it'd be scary as with all that uncontrolled droop and no downward spring pressure on the tyre due to the free movement of that massive link. Yeesh!
What are the little red things that look like bushes or small shocks near the drop arms for? To limit the unlimited travel...

dont see how it would be any different to airshocks or coilovers?sierrajim wrote:Climbing would be interesting

very easy to fold everything back under the car by the looks of it ,as it appears that the springs are the only thing holding the diff in place. Hit a ledge on the wrong angle or speed wouldn't the whole lot just arc backwards and pretzel the drive shaft if your lucky and you'd end up busting all sorts of things

they wuld be using solid links not flexible links like that, in this case they are the springsredzook wrote:dont see how it would be any different to airshocks or coilovers?sierrajim wrote:Climbing would be interesting

I have seen this kind of thing before.
Dodgy US hillbilly style with buggy leaf to make it even less stable.
By the way the hillbilly was running buggy leaf front and rear

I just took one look at the lights at the top of the screen and thought "No farkin' way". That was enough to tell me the guy that built it has no clue.... or maybe he's searching for an alternative way to drive through layers of gravity?

that was the old set up in the rear of atols rig i believe

how can you determine how it drives from still pictures?
everyone is saying how bad it is but no one has seen it drive

Was a while ago now, think the auto prune feature, and the re-vamp of the board, have claimed it.

pretty easy to draw an informed conclusion based on seeing how those sort of drop arm things work on the rear of a Sierra. Then working on a bit of logic transferring that to the front is not going to be a good thing. Also having seen how drop shackles act on the front of Sierras and multiplying the effect those drop arms would have, I'd be pretty confident in saying it wouldn't be very nice to driveredzook wrote:how can you determine how it drives from still pictures?

Why?
I'm betting that AJFeroza's thoughts were the same as mine - mounting those lights directly over the windscreen like that, instead of on a bar that is located above and back from the screen, means a heap of glare directly on the screen. Not very well thought out, methinks! (And I don't even want to imagine driving that weird contraption on a highway...)

the lights would be fine, I had two lights setup in a similar position and had no dramas with reflection on the windscreen but I also had a matt black bonnet so had glare from that either. Having the lights down low like that protected them from overhanging branches etc. You couldn't use them in rain or fog as it just lit all the drops and fog up right in front of your eyes making vision very hard

IT would work better with a shackle reversal up front , Have seen this set up work very well but it had a shackle reversal done and had a spring up top instead of the arm, Wayne's silver zook before it had coils, also liams zook has the missing link up front that works quite well not quite as much droop as that thing but it worked with no real adverse effects.
