Hey Caleb, if those are in fact fixed and non floating calipers in the back you’re gonna get a ton of pad knock-back because the c clip in the axle allows a ton of slop. Detroit drifting co uses wilwood D154 calipers that have slide pins to fix that problem. Tried to DM you this when I saw your IG story a few weeks ago.
C clip eliminator will require modifications to the axle tube, but definitely not a big deal. Every 8.8 diff user that drag races ends up doing c clip eliminators
@@_Gingium_ C clip eliminators would “fix” the issue per se, but no c clip eliminator currently on the market is rated/intended for side load. They’ll either kill themselves or press out. The Strange tapered roller bearing ones are alright, but still not recommended, especially if you ask Strange. Only real solution for drifting is sliding calipers and c clips. You *can* supplement the c clip play by shimming the axle spider gears in toward the cross pin before you weld it so when the cross pin is installed there’s no play of the axle in and out but you’d still need sliding calipers with that setup.
@@ProfessorLX it’s fine for drag racing but like I said in my other reply c clip eliminators HATE side load. Drifting has almost direct side load on the rear end, so C clip eliminators are highly discouraged.
@@alep_sn9550 ahhh, I had no idea, good to know - thanks! hopefully Gingium follows your advice, you dont want a pedal that goes to the floor when you need it and you dont want to endlessly be replacing the bearings in your c clip elims!
Man Fabium has come a long long way from the og hoodscoop on the supercharged rally miata😂 seriously man it’s amazing to see how your skills just keep progressing.
I realy hope you take this beast out for ALOT of drift events! It would be cool to see you hang with the guys that provide us from awesome drift content. PLEASE Caleb, do NOT let this beauty sit in a corner, there is so much beautifull fabwork and custom build things on her that it would be an absolute shame to see it sit in the back of the parkinglot and every once in a blue moon it is allowed to see a track man!
The Volvo is a cool sleeper, but a serious drag car would be a fun thing to watch you build with the level of fabrication you’re capable of. Seems like drag racing content brings in viewers too, use that turbo LS formula in a lighter vehicle & go fast.
So I saw this awesome thing on a race car, that they incorporated springs into the brakes. They put some sort of spring into the caliper behind the pistons. They do that for floating rotors. So I would reach out to wilwood. Maybe they can help you sort that out for your rear breaks, to help with the light movement from the axel.
forged stoptech calipers and alcon two piece rotors are the best that are normally available. wilwood calipers have a LOT of flex in them, but they are still pretty good. Worlds best would be some carbon ceramic floating rotors, with some motorsports calipers, bosch motorsport ABS
It looks like the brake lines will end up with some wear from contacting the strut. It'd be better to run a shorter line from your new frame mounted bracket to the bracket on the strut, then a hard line from the bracket on the strut to the caliper.
Awesome bro. You are getting back into the groove of things. I am loving your attention to details too. Best of Luck. Get an "Auto Shifter" for the Volvo. :)
Always love your builds your channel is very different from other channels . Particularly love any thing that’s jdm related mostly older cars as they have much more character
Side not so crazy to see how far you’ve came, I don’t know how your not at a million subscribers at this point, the content is top notch! And the builds and quality are Insane! I mean your just casually talking to engineers about fabricating to make sure the builds are even that much better! And safe!
Hype because you released this as I went on lunch so I can watch while I eat 😋😋 always in the mood for drift truck content though, it’s coming together so clean!
What are you planning to do about the track width difference between the front and the rear? is the rear getting massive spacers or wheels with different offset and wide fenders to match the front? Also I LOVE how you are sharing your cad files! Open source everything ✊
I find the build awesome but this is bugging me too. If the track width is going to be fixed with spacers then he didn't have to shorten the rear axle as much as he did I. The first place. Seems redundant.
@@CneyTMSI’ve been saying this the WHOLE TIME ever since the video of shortening the rear axle. The massive front track difference looks so weird and IMHO is the biggest negative on this build.
Damn bud, you are grafting big time 😂 best of luck with the to do list, we all know you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. God bless brother bear 💪🏼
dual 4-pistons seems like quite a lot... TBH it'd be nice if there were 2-piston fixed calipers (one on each side) for the handbrake. If stock brakes can lock the rear, that's all you really need. I just don't like floating calipers because of uneven pad wear and binding if you don't lube it or w/e. Plus the assembly's more of a hassle to deal with, handle, and put together. *EDIT:* DUUUUDE, you're coming in CLUTCH with the dual caliper bracket files for send cut send! THANK YOU!
Get the C clip eliminator. A broken axle on that setup means nothing is holding the axle in and the entire thing will come out of the diff mid drift which could obviously be very dangerous.
Nice work on the rears. Hey how about putting some locating slots in the cut file so those weld on pieces can locate but welding on caliper brackets warp eventually
Tip There are GM and Japanese rear axles that use a bearing retirement system instead of C clips. Find the bearing replacement kit for one of these axles that has the same dimensions as the Ford diff and retro fit it . There is a flange that is fitted to the axle that bolts to the diff housing to retain the bearing, the bearing is pressed on after this flange is slipped into place, after the bearing is pressed on a retaining ring with a very tight interference fit is heated slightly and pressed into place. The axel is then inserted and the flange is bolted to the diff housing flange. All parts should be readily available except for the retaining flange as it might be different to the ford axle flange bolt pattern however you should be able to get them new or second hand and either modify or replicate to suit.
Am I missing something, or are those reservoirs right where the steering column needs to be?? Regardless, Caleb's fab skillz are incredible & inspiring - amazing video as always!
You won’t need 3 phase. Get a used mill off marketplace or something and run it with a VFD. Used is fine for your application; you don’t need the tight tolerances of a brand new mill for fab work.
Drift #1 Caleb is going to realize that a hydro master cylinder doesn't displace enough fluid to clamp a 4 piston caliper and his rears won't lock at all... calling it now.
They dont make c-Clips eleminators kit for the explorer except the kit were u build the outer over to 9" and use 9" driveshafts . And yes the pedal will get soft , just had this on my drift car with 8.8. The brake fluid reservoirs use to be see through and mounted inside cab
When you decide if your gonna paint or wrap it can we get a video on you wrapping it? Need to do mine soon and wanna see how it’ll go with the b series
I got my new 2022 sieg sx2pg mill this week 220volt big tabel/500watt brusless motor/twin gas Springs for the head. I do same work as you do. Think this Will Suit you too
I feel like you really should charge for the files, you put so much time and effort into it and I'm sure people would be glad to support you. Nothing major, but literally just $5 or something little
Hey, how are you going to do the front fenders so that the wheels are covered? I had an idea. I would buy a second set of fenders. and then separate them at one body line and then put a sheet there so that you can weld the lower part of the fender back on so that the wheel is covered
I doubt you’ll see this considering how late I am to this video since I’ve been out of service I’ve always wondered where you learned to fabricate and learned how to do all of this
instead of measuring the clearance for the rear dual caliper bracket to the wheels you have you should have researched an array of wheels in case you plan to go with different wheels in the future
I like big brakes and I cannot lie,

That shot with the breaks at the start was just the epitome of cinematography.
On the pad knock back in the rear axle, I believe Brembo makes springs to go inside the pistons in the caliper to reduce the issue

You can put springs in the caliper piston in order to have immediate brake.

Liked before watching. I love Wilwood brakes. Also RIP to the bench vise. It was an OG Gingium tool.
Very true
Getting some Wilwoods for my track car this month, wish you had a promo code!
Much better location for the fuel filter. Really impressive welds on the brake brackets as well. Kinda sad they ended up hidden by paint. 😄

Great video its a credit to your skills
seeing all 6 calipers lined up made me think, how have you not built a 6x6 yet? Trucks looking good though :)

love this build man def one of the best year on youtube cant wait to see at all done would it be wider in the rear to match the front?
Am I missing something, or are those reservoirs right where the steering column needs to be??

Need to make some sick JDM style gingium resivuor covers for those new chrome resivuors. Would be dope to have black with the white gingium logo on it
Should’ve migged those support ribs man. Tig had waaay higher heat deposition than mig. Probably warped that caliper bracket.
You won’t need 3 phase.
Get a used mill off marketplace or something and run it with a VFD. Used is fine for your application; you don’t need the tight tolerances of a brand new mill for fab work.
You dont need 3phase power to put a mill in the shop. You can get a variable frequency drive to run 3phase equipment.
No way they sent you those! I'm so jealous
Damn you made a good amount of progress in this video.
GIngium put on a bit of a dad bod in his trip to cali and back haha
This guy can weld
Damn that whole episode was an ad for Wildwood haha
Amazing seeing where you are now since your beginning.
Also, one thing i don't understand is why the rear is narrower than the front wheels ?
Imagine this truck shredding at the LZ compound
The rezzies seem to be blocking where the steering shaft will go? Nice work!
