If it were mine, it'd either get at least a set of 38.5s or better, else get lowered ~3 inches.

Then again, if it were mine, I'd probably have to change my pants. :D

That beast is BADASS!

It may just be the camera angle, but it looks like you are gonna be bashing up that Hydro cyllinder up front. What are your thoughts on it? Got any better pictures?

Oh, and what are the specs on those coilovers? What kind? How much travel? What are they at full compression and full extention?

Man that is an awesome looking ride Shane!

I am glad to hear you are happy with your steering so far.

You didn't have any trouble bleeding it did you?

Where you able to run the in-line filter?

Tis the season:flipoff2:

I went and got the exhaust done today...............Thanks Muffler Tech!!

I also weighd it.............................2720:D

I have about 60-80lbs of crap to put on it still.....so pretty close to 2800lbs...............That was my goal:D


Dave that was holding up the back of the tranny till we got everything bolted in....We had problems with the clutch and the tranny was bad.............

Station, no we werent able to use the inline filter too big, steering is good, seems like a little cavataion or something at high rpm....Going to drain the fluid and try it again.

Turned out great, Shane. I can't wait to see some action shots. Kinda hard to believe that it used to look like this about a month ago:

Are the ratchet straps your "return-to-center" for the steering ram? :flipoff2:

I would just build a mini-cage around that ram and you'll be fine.
