Notching the Frame on the Drift Truck! - 4 Link Suspension Pt. 1 

Shout out to Pasha for editing this video and allowing me to continue work on the 4 link :) Check out his channel!

Who remembers your old crazy neighbours

time for fabium to get a plasma torch :)

So much new content, your hard work is inspiring af

Thing is gonna be fun when its done. 4-link is perfect for this. So much easier to do than in a sedan too. Someone please sponsor this man a plasma torch.

Love the video, however being a fabricator I noticed a lot of undercut in your welds. Usually this is caused by slow travel speed or heat too high(amps). I know the US’s rules are very different than over here in AUS but undercut can cause your bracing on the notch their to crack at the weld and it wouldn’t pass an engineering inspection here. Just a future thought but still love your work and your ethic to work

4 linkium

Maybe if you plan on doing a lot more fabrication in the future you should consider the benefits of an acetylene torch cutter or plasma cutter. By no means a requirement but it could be useful

The content on this channel lately has been 10/10. Keep it up

probably a good time to set up the hydro while the bed is in the air but your killing it!

Dude you have come a long way! Congrats on everything you have achieved.

Welding seaman lol

I just love both gingium's and Just pasha's builds i think that they are just the coolest projects of the corner of the internet

I’m sure this will get lost in the comments, but hopefully you’ll see this. Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that you are doing a great job and you are by far my favorite youtuber to watch since the last couple years. I’ve bounced around with Evan, Adam, and TJ, but you are by far my favorite. As a growing youtuber myself, I just wanted to let you know 🙏 btw, the editing was solid. I like both styles.

Who all remembers little gingium working out of his garage with the crazy neighbor. Look at him now all grown up. You are doing great keep up the good work

Build bigger wheel wells into the bed so its can still be used as a bed and not just be an open pit to the axle

Looking at how many cutting wheels you used it might be a good time to get a plasma cutter. Also, SHOWER before and after using a public pool.

This is sick, the welder is awesome, I'm jealous of it all! Also boo yah Pasha.

10:52 haha seam in

That welder is getting some serious air time and you are showing its versatility.

I'm so proud of you man. You're incredibly talented and creative. You have a gift bro. Great video! 👍

Great job Caleb! Looking forward to hearing how much better she rides afterwards! Best wishes and Peace Out!

Imagine telling GinjaNinja playing Skyrim that he would have a Drifting Mazda B2200, an Offroading Miata and a Turbo Miata.

I actually laughed at the just pasha part at the beginning. Good meme.

I’m not happy about you cutting up the bed, but I have faith that you won’t ruin it! Glad to see this thing coming together

just imagine a gingium and a b is for build colab.......... mind blowing

Amazing work Caleb. Can't really believe that you're so young and already have accumulated all this knowledge (and putting it to good use too). Keep it up.

Am i the only one who remembers when he had hair and played forza?

Great work so far I come from a family of welders and fabricators and I completely understand the satisfaction and rewards of custom fabrication

Really enjoy watcing you building cars! The BGM you choose is awesome too!

Awesome work gingium sending love from Australia, love your content

Yay a new video from Gingium! I love the projects man keep it up!

Getting started to do this with my 88 Toyota pickup and this keeps me so hyped 🍻🤘❤️

Wow look at you Fabium! Skills are improving!

Hey Caleb, love to see you getting so far..feels like just yesterday you had painted The FC, amazing progress, and I will continue supporting you all the wayy!

I like the morning upload!!

Fuck yeah man! It’s so awesome to see you tackling this and doing a good job so far. Keep grinding man!

Love the intros and explanations with the mic and remote camera

Thanks man for doing it right.. that's what I like about you.. cutting off the old mounts.. just to keep it clean Is what I mean by doing it right.. just setting yourself up for success in the future.. I hope you paint the frame when your done grinding.. just to protect it a little..

Welds look amazing!

Great work man! Youre welds look great to

Damn dude, keep up the good work. Been watching since you bought Molly.

Gingium your welding skills are looking good👍

Sure come along way from hot glueing wiring together lol looks good. Btw your leaf springs are setup wrong. The shackles need to be at 45 degrees. Could be causing issues. Your 4 link will definitely solve it lol

When you cut the wheel arch in the bed you could use trail tubs and just replace them out right. Way easier than having to roll sheet metal. And it'll look super clean

Love the new camera setup

For sure one of the smartest auto you tubers

Looks nice. Good job!

Yes gingium lofi on DECK love the tune selection

Fabium definitely getting better with dem welds!

10:52 giggity

i am so hyped for the 4 link now keep going!!!!!!

Keep the good work up gingg!

Loved the editing!!!

really awesome work man!

Fabium is leveling up out here

liking the new content. doing some nice custom fab

Ur welds have improved soo much bro keel up the work bro love ur videos

I low key kind of miss the fancy intros with the project intros...

I was obsessed with legos too

why isn't this video 60 fps like usual?

fabium is leveling up. lets go baby

What about making a 3 link suspension? 2 normal ones, on the sides, and third one would be A-shaped wishbone attached to the middle of axle? Would work as a link, and avoid side to side movement(no need for track bar, which makes side to side movement)

I saw the new things you did while editing, it looks amazing. Keep it up ginge

So sick keep it up man

Man i have to do this to my long bed single cab Dakota eventually so this will be good content to reference 👌👌💯💯

When you cut the bed up you should just put a cloth tonneau cover on it, would look really good and give you that extra little bit of aerodynamics.

Thank you pasha for being a great editor and RU-vidr, lots on your plate huh?

The problem with a trailing arm style four link is a panhard bar will bind at a certain point and will start pushing the axle out of thrust angle . I like a unequal length , triangle four link. Two long bars at the bottom of the axle to the frame, then two short bars from the center housing on the axle angled out to the frame . This could be used in conjunction with a watts / belcrank but is not needed . It allows for pinion adjustment and one can change the instant center or even adjust some rear steer into it for drag racing . If you use big enough lower bars and some beefy heim joints you could use the leaf spring mount in the factory location as your main mount and build from there.

fabium back at it again!!!

I love ur videos keep keep up great work

You should find a black Tonneau bed cover that would fit so you can cover the holes in the bed and give a real clean look, but you can still flip it up to refuel if its a sectioned one.

Can’t wait to see this on Build Biology 😎

good content mate ! love the morning upload too ! make my days ! a little fabium with a coffee that's the good recipe

Awesome content, great music. Your skills are getting waaay better man I love your videos, keep it up. Also, why was the video not in 60fps? I just found it funny hahaha

Do a true dual exhaust with it coming out of bith sides plze, it would looks so good

keep it going 4 linkium !!

I had the same kind of interest as a child as you. Did the same exact things lol I do what I can to my car, I would love to fabricate but I never really had a house and a garage to go ham haha

Your fabrication abilities are definitely improving. Looking good! May want to invest in a plasma cutter as you next big tool purchase if you plan on doing more complicated builds like this one. 👍🏼

"Im going to weld this semen" -Gingium 2019

Looks good, Caleb. I love everything you've been doing lately. I just think you should unbolt the vise. I like to see your other viewers squirm. Lol

Weldium on point 🔥🔥

you've come a long way in all your skills ging. you really can call yourself fabium now lol

Two words....plasma cutter. Its a world of difference as opposed to the sawjaw.

This is crazy maan

My mans needs a plasma cuter😂

Why I love the engineering and fab work when building Cars sometimes more then driving them

10:50 wait what????

Looking good! You should probably paint that whole frame just to protect it from rust. Especially since it looks fairly easy to access. And me too I loved playing with K'nex as a kid. They were oddly not THAT popular compared to Lego but I found them more fun. I'd say my favourite thing I built was a wind powered crane. I'd put the fan in front and it would lift my dad's weights to the top lol and I used hockey skate laces as the cable. When you're like 10 you use what you can find around the house lol. Years back one of my nephews had to do a project for science class so I helped him recreate it. There's some physics to it, like the pitch of the blades to get more speed or torque, and also the gearing ratios etc. Fun stuff.

Is this video edited in a lower frame rate? Looks kinda choppy

When you cut a frame out of the bed weld a box on the back with a lid on top that opens with a piano hinge just to make it easier to access any problems on the go

"HTP, hey you guys have plasma torches right?" "Yep" "What sort of fabricator/YT/buddy sort of deal can you swing me one for?". Good job, that box tubings a mofo ain't it? :)

Add or build a racing truck bed cover. Cut plenty of the bed floor out to make easy suspension adjustments and add racing fuel cell.

You're hired!

Since you have the bed off you should definitely clean up the frame and weather proof it. Sand it, prime it, paint it.

I hope you reinforce the frame. I am in a Hi performance steering and suspension class in school and Thursday I just adjusted a four link system. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't allow body to roll. Literally just up and down movement. We had a chassis made up on a steel table with a four link setup on a solid axle. I lifted up on one side of the axle while a classmate pushed down on the other side to see what it would do. We almost flipped the table. Good for drag racing but seems like it would make the chassis flex or make a wheel float off the ground while you are experiencing body roll. I believe this will be the same for a ladder bar system. I could be wrong, my teacher only talks about drag racing and circle track which is boring as hell to me.

Lol 6:12 reminded me when he broke 4 angle grinder cutting wheels trying to cut a piece from the truck

Love ur videos

A rear mount radiator would be sick!

Gingium, more like gingiYUM,
