I got this one last year at the SF 250 race. It was a great spot to witness this most death-defying scenario in all of off road spectating. Sure enough a TT hit one guy and down he went. Not sure what happened to him. I recomend doing this at least once in your life. Wild stuff!

I built the entire truck by myself. the front is running 4wd spindles so you get the better brakes and everything. 6 over arms, 1.5" uniballs, 7/8" heims for upper pivots and outer tierod steering ends with 3/4 in inners. Custom centerlink and lidler arm. 2.0x12in stroke SAW coilover and a 3.0x12in SAW tripple bypass on each corner. Cylces 21in of travel but limited to 19. 35" tires. 4.3L v6 700r4 tranny, trying to get a T100 rear for it, but for the back it has 63in chevy's and 16in 2.5 SAW bypasses. Got about a month and a half into the front end build, motor swap, cage ect.. Just needs to be finished up. Here are a few more pics.

the motor comes in and out easily. You just remove the starter and exhaust and it lifts right out,e ven with the tranny bolted up. There's aout 2-3in of room between the bars and the engine when it's coming out.

for tranny mount I'm using the stock one on the tranny than modified the stock crossmember/mount and boxed it in. Motor mounts are autofab bushings and modified stock clamsheel style mounts. Here are some pics

you should start a build up thread, second, did you make your own a arms/steering knuckles? If so I'd like to see some close ups of them. If not, I'd still like to see pics

Looks a lot like my VORRA short course truck but just nicer
. I plan on putting the 4Wd spindles up front too but haven't really thought much about it. Would love to see what you did and steal some ideas.

Not critiquing your work at all but i was wondering why in the last pic ( one of the inside of the cab ) the tubes that will most likely support the shifter does not center up with the verticle support bars? Was something in the way or was more leg room needed?
