Wanna know the distance from the center of the front eye to the center of the rear hanger? My shackle angle came out sweet.

Center of front eye to center of rear hanger = 43 1/8th
Shackle (center to center) = 4 1/2
Having someone online bored enough to go check=priceless
:D

I'm writing the next section as we speak. I havent had as much time to work on the zuk lately as I'd like...My wife is pregant with our 3rd kid, I just sold my house, and its the beginiing of the "busy" season at my work.

The good news is that the zuk is nearly finished with the exception of final cosmetics. Tusker came over yesterday and gave me a hand with the diff armor. I'm hoping to have it runiing in the next week or so.

I do most of the welding myself, but the extension welds were done by a co-worker named Brad and he is the bomb. Those welds are actually bad by his standards and was embarrassed how they came out. :eek: I wish I had his "problems". Thanks for the kind words.
