I gotta tell you, I had my doubts when you said you were going to use that body. Now all I can say is how much I want it. The radiator and grill, the "sway bars", the fuel cap, you really added some sweet touches. The whole package is completely sick man. |

Finally got the body mounted up, and electronics installed. I still need to tie some loose ends up, like hiding the rear body mount. But, I just took it out for a quick test run. I was really surprised at how capable it is. Here's a couple poser shots and a couple action pics. No virgin run is complete without hitting a jump or two. | |

| Thanks. Thanks Norm. The sway bar arms aren't connected to each other, they just move freely with the suspension. It might be. |

I really like this build, and the chassis. I want to use one on my Hilux, but have one question; where would the front leaf hangers go? On the first and second hole, or on the second and third hole? Thanks. |

Aero look at the D90 build thread I used #2 and/or 3 Difuser using Ant's account at MSD...... BTW these chassis were awesome this weekend. Both build were very good performers |
