This is actually way harder to make than you'd think. But it works really well.

You totally need to motorize that! :)
Yes! That's a great idea 👍
Just use some power tools
@@p.l.a.y.e.r_2Yeah 1/2" drive Milwaukee M18 impact would make things much easier! 😀
I agree! I’d like to try that on a Jeep Liberty!!
Yess
I mentioned your welder is getting better in another video but these welds are even better !!
Catch ya later fellas, can't wait for the next crazy thing you get upto.
And thanks BMI Russian for the voice over and translation.
Subaru used to have adjustable suspension that worked in much the same way.
I used it quite often in my 1982 Brat.
My 83 BRAT has it. I think the wagons had it also, only gives about 25mm though. The struts are impossible to find nowadays, luckily they're rebuildable.
@@jonathancrotts2862was it a special option or something , I had a 82 brat and it didn't have that. I ended up putting a 3 inch lift on it and the thing was a beast offroad
When times are better I will visit garage 54
I would also like to visit after the crazy times end also, but flights are expensive and Siberia is cold. It is always the elite folks in the top 0.01% who determine if the times get better for the commoners who make up the 99.99%.
@@thatguyalex2835Is it cold in Siberia? Are you aware that there is spring, summer and autumn? in summer, it can be up to +30. And what are the times like now? Everything is fine in Russia.
@@Wanderer_93 its difficult to travel to russia as of now and dangerous, because who the f**k knows what the government is up to
This has been use in oval track racing extensively for ride height and wedge adjustments corner to corner suspension load nice insulation on a strut car 👍
Yeah. Screw jacks. On our late model.
nice, now u need to do the same to the rear, ( or a different but similar method, perhaps the same thing but on top of the springs? ) and then connect motors to the shafts, so you can control it via the cab by a switch! hell, connect it to the passenger power window switch! heheh, just change wires from the window motor to the external motors for the lift unit. may need additional relays for power load... but sweet guys!
As an American I wanted to say we love your channel! Times are tough here too. Continue making great content!
You guys deserve many many more followers , the ideas you come up with are brilliant
Add a couple cordless drills to the top of the struts and wire them up to a switch on the dash
You made the comment about troubled times and this a fact i love the attitude you have making these videos. good for the mind and hilarious fun you guys have it is a blessing.
Props for using ratchets, I would have totally grabbed a pneumatic ratchet or a battery powered one. Or mounted a cheap pair of eBay pneumatics and welded them on top of the adjuster with a bracket, then mounted a compressor somewhere inside.
Just use something 12 volt, already have power right there.
Pure mechanical.
Awesome as always.
What's next? Will you weld some bike sprockets on the posts to drive them with a motor? Alternatively, most might not use much of the range, but only the normal and fully extended setting. Perhaps a pneumatic solution could be just as good? Perhaps it could involve modifying and pressurizing the struts?
Well done guys, keep it up! (and be safe!!)
Had a 98 3/4 Chevy that you could twist the front up a few inches to run a snowplow. Great experiment
I could see this getting toyko drift out of a fix-it ticket from having his k-swap to low lol
Most of us use adjustable coil overs on the little 4 banger ricer cars, using a spanner wrench u can adjust the preload and ride height.
On the old school muscle cars we often use air shocks for years before finally putting real shocks on.
Please bring back the detailed assembly/construction of project elements... Even though I used to skip some details, when I had time I would watch the entire video...
Before they even started i knew the CVs would be an issue. When you raise a fwd you run the risk of the cv hitting the lower control arm. You can also have binding in the ball joint. The inner cv can be an issue as well. The length of the shaft changes with the inner cv. It is a very minimal movement. This can cause the inner cv to pop out of the transmission. This design is all good in theory. Practicality, no good. I've built many suspension systems for 4wheel drive vehicles with IFS. The front diff must be dropped to gain any type of usable lift. The limiting factor in all IFS systems is always the cv shafts. Best thing to do with a truck when you want large amounts of lift, ditch the IFS and replace it with a straight axle. Stronger, less moving parts. The amount you can lift a straight axle is whatever you like. Although, with extreme lift and articulation you have to go with a hydraulic steering system.
Yes, what you say is true. However, they made a fun video that did help improve clearance enough for certain situations. To do as you suggested would take a lot more work and cost but definitely do able.
it may give the floorpan/bodywork more ground clearance BUT the lower suspension arms etc are all still at the same height so if theyre the problem you are trying to overcome, NO height adjustable suspension is going to help
Yes. Remember, he showed the marks on the snow from the exhaust, radiator support, differential that dragged the center of the ruts. They were able to raise most of the vehicle and create ground clearance to help in certain situations. The parts you mentioned would have to be replaced with modified versions to improve total ground clearance.
Instead of the original car struts .. replace them with hydraulic rams... with a controller in the car.. lot easier 🤩🤩🤩
Basically that would be The Citroen hydropneumatic suspension.
Next stage, add a motor to this so it can be adjusted on the fly from the driver's seat with the press of a button as well as modifying it so that it does not require a bolt to be sticking out of the bonnet. I'd buy it! I have been interested in this type of idea for quite some time. Englishman in Novosibirsk 👍
Just get the overpriced airbag version
One advantage of low ground clearance is that cats running away from dogs can hide out of dog's reach. When you park your car, don't forget to lower it back to its original clearance, so cats will have where to hide.
These guys will actually make totally unrealistic scenarios a reality, guarantee they’ll be the first to send a piston to the moon
Another crazy experiment! You guys are great!
kinda surprised they didn't put starter motors on them with some kind of gears
The translation in these videos are top notch. Very good. These translations open up a whole country to us to learn and share ideas. 👍✌️
Yo mate just watched you make a copper brass bronze aluminium piston engine. I WATCHED THIS. realised all my reciprocating knowledge was wrong. Drop forge some copper pistons with load inserts. N TURBO THE SH!T OUT OF IT. IT LL REV TO THE ROOF. N THE COPPER SMASHING BACK N FORTH SO QUICK. MAGNETIC LEVITATION. F in GENIUS MATE CHEERS. Love ya
Good job guys excellent work and welding. motors would sure take a lot of work out of cranking on those things. lot of fun on this channel takes stress of of me watching your videos thanks for the great content.
My dad had a white 2109 Samara with the long fender and low dash (this one is the high dash). Great memories. He had increased clearance and undercarriage armor.
Then, instead the standart car struts, replace with hydraulic cylinder, add hydropneumatic accumulator for comfort, hydraulic pump and distributor, and you will get a simple version of Citroen hydropneumatic suspension
That's fucking awesome!
Great vid guys....luv the channel ❤🐑
Hell ya keep up the good work
This is very cool, greetings from finland
i have this idea for years and you just did it damn i am living the life wrong and you are living right
I suggest connecting a gear box to the suspension system here. Then when you want to raise it from within the car you select the up gear, when on clear road hit the lower gear. While in Neutral of course. Let the engine raise and lower your Lada.
PTO powered ride height adjustment. Fantastic!!
With this set up you can weld the dif and would be the perfect off-roader
I bet the guy who sent the sketches was a circle track racer.
Iv got a modified dirt track chassis that has the same design adjustment threads
I thought about that. Certainly looks like a race car type of thing
Nice job 👏 🎉
You could improve the system by adding a couple of high torque slow speed gear motors wire with forward and reverse and controlled from a 3 position toggle switch mounted on your dash to save you having to manually operate the system in the freezing cold !
I am impressed needs some tweaking but it works very well
Great experiment! Now if you guys follow up with a lifting mechanism for the rear of the car also! Now that would be cool!👌😎👍
you should force air in the lower crank case of an engine and see what happens. i suggest drill and tap a hole in the block and hook up a ball valve to an air line :)
That would just create blow by
@@Jacobtheunwisei didnt think about this, but yeah depending on how good your rings are, it’ll just run leaner. the pistons will cancel each other out so its not like the air pressure will change
one of the high priced model cars, mersades or bmw has this system on all wheels you can activate from inside. the purpose is to bounce it up and down and get you unstuck on sand.
That's just air ride nothing like what these boys did
you are wrong. its a new feature for getting un stuck in sand.@@Jacobtheunwise
I think on a Nissan bluebird zx turbo has some setup like that an electronic one as I recall, as didn't have air suspension to higher and lower the car.
Saw the thumbnail and instantly knew it was garage 55
move the gerabox clutches to the wheels will be a good idea :D
install a clutch system to the left and the right wheel that is driven (rear axle)
on the place of the brake drums
that ending. "alright catchya later"
Thanks you for another awesome experiment. That was pretty cool. I personally just lift the car myself if I get stuck assuming that it's a light vehicle like that. I'm pretty strong for my size and I can lift the front or rear end of a car. Especially if it's under 1,000 kilograms. I can't lift trucks or SUVs, but I can lift the front end of a little car like that. Also I feel sorry for that poor gearbox. Those gears are crying as you shred them. Anyway very cool experiment. I love you guys.👍👍👍👍
Those are some of the craftiest panda welds I've ever seen.
Use wiper motors to turn those with a switch from inside 😊
Looks at thumbnail - "Sooo big as all-threads?"
0:26 seconds in - 2.5in machine bolt with the head cut off
Make something cool with Touareg !!! I have one with little rust and air bags. I would love to see something cool of it. Coold DIY mods or offroad build or something like that.
Guys you are the badass craziest😂
Wouldnt this effect the alignment of the front wheels?
Go go gadget suspension!
For sure put sprockets on top of the screws and run a chain with a starter motor to power them
What great acting!!!
Now put startermotors on those an you can ajust automatically
Use a cordless impact, it will help.
Starter motor or perhaps even wiper motor with correct gearing would work.
Reminds me of the "Any level lift" for superduty trucks.
😂
Hook the raise and lowering into the engine?
What would the redline of a Lada engine be if you made the connecting rods half as thick ?
Can you make fully hidrolik suspensi like landcruiser?
Great job. Maybe electric or air pressure to make it easier?
BMI Russian absolutely crushing it!! Top tier translations and voiceovers!!🫶🫶
Put motors on it and have it on a switch that would be awsome front and back
awesome.... need telescoping steering column....lol
Had a similar setup on my samurai
Add a 2nd dimension to widen as you raise it up!
You could have used a battery impact drill. Would have raised it fast.
doesnt that change the wheel alignment?
I'm a machinist, sometime I go , wow, they are decent , sometimes(that drill press) I go, wtflack !!!
I figured you guys would have figured out that using an impact driver would have been much much faster LOL
Do that for some Lada Niva.
Everybody would want a Niva with adaptive height.
Should have battery powered drills/wrenches on them with switches inside car
I finally figured out who the voice over voice sounds like. Its Kermit the frog! I knew that voice
You nailed it! Yaaaaay!
The Muppets had some good movies. Watched some reruns and a few DVDs on TV as a kid.
Do the same modification to the rear suspension too.
when engineers get bored
Lets Do This!
with that intro i dont need to watch whole video, i already know that way what will be in video
Time to make a video of what happens when not installing snap ring on a cv joint when replacing a cv boot .
Does it hop?
Somebody send Vlad a portable inpact gun lol
Citroen have a system on the BX you can raise and lower the complete car. Useful when the roads are flooded. How about working on something similar.😀
ROLF!
I had a vh valient speedway car that had torsion bar suspension I wound it all the way up and it was impossible to roll over. I've got a 99 Hilux that's the same cheap lift kit
Just need some worm gear drive things to motorise the screws to raise and lower the car without even getting out... :P
weld a sprocket to that spindel and have a electric motor with a worm gear to adjust rideheight from inside the cabin
Is it possible to make a gasoline engine with a hand cranked starter?
Try to do it hydraulic by adapting a Mercedes ABC system. And usable with coilovers
CORDLESS IMPACT 🎉🎉🎉
107% SUCCESS.
Try with adapting Mercedes ABC hydraulic System to a coilovers
Make pistons out of tungsten!
Anybody know the original Russian for "discombobulated"?
Who would want to print out your MESS They work cause you make them
I want to import a Lada into the USA.
Good to see you are back uploading and safe. Love from 🇦🇺 . Alot of aussie support Russia even if our dumb government does not. Stay safe
next video: Home made Hydropneumatic suspension (Citroen copycat)
no way is this cheaper than ebay coilovers
