well we can see youve got some details nailed for sure...looking forward to the body build! i love the spring spacers, should alow soft flex, yet firm up as it compresses/ loaded with weight |

If you make that the wrecker version you will be my hero. Great work so far, and I also wondered why no one ever built one. |

Great job on the suspension man very impressive! you should do a military jet boat in the cargo area.Thats the main thing I see being carried on them in my area.. What machine are you using to machine (lath)down the aluminum ? |

| This thing is awesome so far! By far the cleanest 8x8 suspension I've seen yet! I can't wait to see the body!

Thanks all Quote:
This one will be a M983 Tractor http://www.primeportal.net/images/m9...ytundm_pht.jpg http://www.primeportal.net/images/hemtt_thumbs/m983.jpg That way I can look forward to build the 40 inches long trailer when the tractor is done One idea I have is to build different interchangeable attachments....like bed - a wreckerbody - tank and so on....we'll see.
