yea first time its been out to play since the paint job/remodel. and I did manage to scratch one of the doors, after I broke a stainless arb line, and then I broke a front axle which in turn took out a hub and ball joints. O'yea, and before I even got there, the muffler on the suburban came appart and I drug the tail pipe down the road for a few miles before I heard the thing bouncing behind me :D dam stereo to lowd :D

Looking good, scratches go good with white paint, rock rash will look even better.

did you notice any difference with the back cut? I'm curious if it wheeled any different at all, more stable, stiffer, etc...?

well yea I did notice a diffrence wheeling the thing, more stable, but its not cause the back wasn't cut off, , its cause I moved the axle back 4.5" so the wheel base is sitting at 106.5, which is the same as a full size blazer. the thing is stiffer cause the fan hit the shroud on flexing hard.
