Got some good amount of progress done on the cantilever system for the Drift Truck! The reason why we’re doing this is for space. These S13 coilovers are super long and if we mounted them to the axle normally, they’d stick up and compromise a significant amount of bed space. Also, the cantilever just looks cool haha.

On Monday we’ll build the rods to connect everything and the mounts for the coil overs. After that, we can finally put the truck back on the ground 🙂

Can’t wait to see whatever the drift truck ends up looking like when V2 is done!!

Do you think you'll end up making the entire bed flat or will you have a 'hump' like you did with v1?

Looks great but i am not sure if the pivot pount for the rocker will be strong enough when supported only at one end. Idealy it has to be in double shear.

DaDamn

And the pivot point is just on the corner. Maybe include it in the triangle?

It’s a 3/4” grade 8 bolt ran through the frame then supported on the inside with a welded sleeve over it. I think it’ll be fine with the amount of weight on the tear end. We’ll see how much it flexes when put on the ground

I think even if that reduced a little bit more I am with you I think a flat bed would look better. :)

Contrary to what you’ve done before, you going to utilize the stock fuel door and neck this time ?

Gingium

I’m going to do a completely flat bed!

Sick! I think it will be both more attractive and more practical than having a hump in the middle of the bed.
