'Bout fricking time! The Amigo is getting the IFS cut out and going 4-link front and rear on 16" front and 12" rear Sway A Way coil overs. Finally gonna have room for the 38.5x14.50 TSL/SX's and be able actually have a front locker.

I'm very jazzed and it should work awesome when it's done. Mike Shaffer (Shaffer's Off Road, Carson City 775-885-9944) and in collaboration with Bob Roggy (Roggy Enterprizes) are working out the design of the suspension and the building of the beast. Bob will be doing the building and I'm very stoked about that. This will be a total Bob/Mike design since nothing of this build will come from a box. Go Bob and Mike!

Cutting should commence tomorrow. Too bad I'll be in Reno all day and won't see the IFS succumb to the blue tipped wrench.

I'll keep everyone updated with pictures. I left 3 displosable flash cameras for Mike and Bob to use. Hopefully I get lot's of pictures.
