Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Sweetness.
I would make a mid-engined Mighty Max, probably start with leaf springs and a solid axle, though. Can't just be making suspensions and frames like that without doing some math. I could even make it street legal in this state. Can't do that kind of work in the mud, though. Need garage.

I can design you a suspension. Trailing arm or a-arm.

Watts link

Triangulated 4-link makes watts link or panhard bar unnecessary.

Took Mighty Max for a spin to the hardware store to get a length of quarter round... almost drifted into a Suburban that failed to yield while I was taking an on-ramp way too fast. Still running, and the coolant leak spontaneously fixed itself while it was sitting for the past month.
