So it's the hydraulic actuator compressing the coil spring that lowers the car? It looks like it leaves almost no travel at all in that damper.

n the single viewing of the vid and 30sec of thought I assumed the coil spring actuator only brings the coil spring into or out of play with regards to wanting the torsion bar system working or not. But changing the spring via that actuator does both jobs, ie compress spring = lower ride height and take it out of play and leave only the torsion bar.

Haven't watched Project Binky, either. Sounds like I should free up some time and bond with my 9 year old over car videos. Grand Tour has been meh.

Dave Inc's issue is that there doesn't seem to be any independent offset control between the spring force linkage and the damper linkage. If you compress the coil spring, you push in the piston on the damper. My guess is that DSSV stuff works great even with 1/2" or whatever of piston travel.

Oh man, I found it! Years ago I had this on a VHS, but I lost it when moving at one point. Now this is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di_OyskxewQ Edit: the 1989 one is even better (also on a lost tape), with the head to head format. Sadly that one doesn't seem to exist online.

Because the Prime video app works like Netflix on my television, and I've been conditioned to think of Youtube as "short videos uploaded by people" since I primarily used it back when that's all that it was?

Could have at least uses a modern F-350 or whatever straight axle and matching dually-style wheels. That said, Stubby Bob is awesome - and man, how many blue balls can one truck have? Definitely lands better now until Tony bent the ever loving poo poo out of the front axle. Told you they should have used a truck axle.

Collateral Damage posted:They at least need front wheels that match them in size. The new ones are way too dinky. It was even worse when they had the temporary wheels on there. 15" wheels looked incredibly dinky. The 20s or whatever they moved up to were much better, at least. They definitely needed the modern brakes afforded by the new axle. A truck axle should have size-appropriate ones, as well.

Eh, those three you can do with wheels or water, and not die shivering at the same time. You might be getting the impression I'm not a fan of cold. My version of Hell is the Viking one - all frozen.

Cold owns, because if you get chilly you can throw on another layer. Heat sucks because there is a limit to how naked you can get. Cars are better in the cold than the heat too.

I drove 10 miles in the middle of the blizzard yesterday specifically to do donuts in a state park beach parking lot. Because in this weather there is nobody within a mile of it so nobody gives a poo poo.
