Man I thought you were turning into that black cab driver in Total recall. That third insectg arm pops out of his chest...

Oondy does make some sh#t drop hot arms at really competitive prices.

I have heard mixed reports about the swivel/joint chassis end of the 3rds arms.

I'd got a set of Oondy dropped arms and there awesome, less then half the price of 3rds arms delivered too. I have pictures of them if you like.

Cheers Mick.

Yep. Pics please. Mainly the chassis end.

yeah please some pics

Ill get some later if I remember

I've got a set of Snake arms and they flex better than the 3rds ones. Both are very expensive and there are plenty of others making a similar product for much less as others have mentioned. If you want to spend the big bucks go with the Sake arms, but you are better off with the cheaper ones as they do just as good a job for much less. All drop arms are still limited as to how much flex you will get. None of the drop arms flex like a five link or three link + panhard. What they do is make the car drive much better and give a bit more flex than standard.

I don't have a good shot that shows the flex you get out of them, but you can get a reasonable idea between the two shots as to how far the tyre travels up into the guard and drops down. The front tyre probably only drops another couple of inches in the first pic before it starts to come off the ground. there is plenty more in the shock, but the arms are the limiting factor due to the torsional forces applied through the diff housing from the radius arm mounting points. As I said, it's nothing like a five link, cross link etc. but the car handles very well on the road, it's a daily driver, can drive at 110km/hr all day and has no bump steer or other bad habits lifted 4b's can have.


Hope this helps.

Can we get some photos of the arms that oondy Makes up here i would be keen to see what they look like also what are they made of and roughly how much do the cost

Obvisouly the prices may vary but I was quoted $550 devlivered (ghetto spelling ftw) for a set to match a 4" lift. Doesn't include bushes ie; good chance to put brand spanking new ones in both ends

These arms where made 4 inches longer by Oondy to run bigger tyres but you get the idea.

Cheers Mick.

Sweet. Now can we have a close up of the machined end that goes into the chassis. Oondy said the stubs are welded on. Wonder what it looks like and if an engineer would like that. This is where Oondy comes in.......

mick thanks m8. that's got a bit of flex . I'm thinking a set of big o's arms 10mm longer to get 37s on and the xlink id be happy with that.

I think you should talk to OONDY about the engineering if thats the way you want to go.

i run 2DE XTREME drop arms and are super happy with them they are strong and make castor perfect.

I keep wanting to make a joke about "arms dealers" in this thread.
