Some of the worse engineering ever seen

[Gojeep]

These were posted on a Oz site so dont know whose they are but I am glad none of them are RHD's as would not share a parking lot with any of them let alone a road!!!!!!

Just think what they are running for gear ratios....I can't imagine

Sorry wrong address, try this www.frankentaco.com It's not bad for a toyota site.:gee:

Holy Crap! How could someone do that to a flattie? That CJ should be taken away and given to me so I can restore it back to health!

Nice driveline angles, probly gets high speed vibes at 2 MPH :fuse:

thats called booty fab not engineering.

Man what a hack, but if their happy so be it.

for the record, that particular driveshaft is designed to run at a misalignment of up to 80-degrees....

if yer gonna bag on something, you should have a mechanical understanding of the thing....the cv is operating within its design parameters, meant for light torque loading of course.

even though the pinion angle is kinda nasty, the driveline should move the jeep around, which is the only point. You must understand that thing is for show.

Noted, but looking at the angle of it and the stroke in the yoke, gives about 6" of flex.

@ most, this thing has seen a hill or 2 after first build, but then off to the trailer.

If one was going to spend all kinds of $$ on show, why not a "Barbies Dreamhouse" it don't function anywho?

Well, its not my junk , I have nothing to worry about :anon:

sure it might be for show only, and the shaft might be within its parameters, but the rest of it is downright scary.

i realize show trucks are about the bling, big lifts, and big tires, but id at least like to see some safe setups..

Those wonderful paint dribbles are a dead give away.....

That's Jackson Pollock's rig!!

:looney:

 

[Beezil]

not all the pictures are on the same rig.

If you go to the site and read : Shawn provides this information: "He trailered it to the show and had to drive it with only the front drive shaft. As you can see the rear one probably wont do shit." So I figure they tried to drive it and it wouldnt go anywhere. The FORD symbol is actually a structural part of that front contraption. Go to http://128.83.80.200/taco/scarysteering6.html

I do not care if the driveline is working in spec range. I would not feel comfortable driveing it on or off the trailer that it better of got to the show on!! I would rather see the driveshaft off the vehicle along with the lift blocks in the rear.

Just my opinion

What show was the Ford/CJ thing seen at? I saw him at the Springfield, MO 4 Wheel Jamboree in May. I couldn't believe some of the crappy engineering I saw at that show, but this one was so bad I couldn't help but laugh. I took a few pictures and he just sat in it like he was actually proud of it.
