Wow, Mike. I totally missed the fact that you switched from leaves to coil overs. Can you still compete in the Legends class, or do you have to play with the Unlimited guys? Any more pics of your links, and ho you mounted them on the diff side?
Toybox looks good too!
Well........................... these are the first sneak pics of the suspension which is new in the last 10 days. I wasn't gonna post any but it was hard to pics of the ToyBox without hints of the links or mounting points in the pics. I'll post up lots of pics once I get the little stuff done and some paint on everything. Which will be during the coming week.
As far as the mods forcing me into Unlimited, not just yet. We have adhered to all the class specs in the process while getting closer to the inevetable move up in class, likely in 2004. The suspension is not limited at all in ERoCC or URoC, just the tire size, frame specs, and no full hydro steering.
The truth is the comp thing has bitten my ass, had a good time last year and did ok. Picked up a few sponsors (some intentionally behind the scenes) and work real well with my Spotter (and friend) BigDude, so we are gonna go for it. I want to retain as much Cruiser as possible, but at some point that also has it's disadvantages!
This is probably the last season for the 2F, and maybe the sm420. I'll need more wheel speed, less weight, and the advantage of an auto to have a chance in Unlimited. If I was a better planner I probably would have just built a different rig from the ground up!
Anyway, I'll post up more pics soon!
