Design
The
design of the vehicle depends on individual needs. It can be a complex
balancing act considering the properties of a good crawler is nearly opposite
to the qualities of an effective bogger. Issues such as daily drivability, fuel
economy, ease of operation, multiple operators must also be considered in the
design process. Also, the cost factor is an important part of the design
process. In addition, not all customers require their vehicles to crawl over
the absolute toughest terrain, or breeze through the thickest slimiest bog.
Many people just need to simply improve their vehicle's off-road performance.

Custom
crossmembers taking into consideration the articulation abilities of
C-channel and riveted frames are designed and fabricated. Carful design is a delicate
balance between functionality, reliability, serviceability, safety and aesthetics.
The designing process is an integral part of every custom fabrication and
modification service. |
Custom
designed front suspension systems is our specialty. This particular
suspension system is designed for maximum travel, strength, reliability and
durability. The triangle struts pivot at a common point. Once
again, “triangulation” is used for superior strength, reliability and
durability over the more “common” four link coil suspension system. There are
a lot less moving / wearable parts in this system and a whole lot more
travel. In addition, the triangular articulation front axle design does not
have any lower control torque rods to reduce ground clearance. |
