For the front shock mounts on the axle I thought it would be cool and look a little more scale to use 2 SSD chubs with the panhard mount that way it positions the shock on top of the axle and lines it up better for the tabs on the chassis. Also internally limited the shocks to 80mm for proper ride height for this set up |

This is just stupidly stunning. Well done. The lower suspension links are just awesome. Porsche motor too.  I love home built cages.  |

Got some roller status yesterday. Proline BFGs shaved and siped on VP OMFs. Also cut some side panels |

I installed a Tekin FXR and a Holmes 21t custom pro brushed motor. Drove it yesterday on a frozen Rock pile and had a blast, suspension works well so far even in the cold. I love the clearance with a portal rear. Didn't get any outdoor pics. |

How much articulation does the left rear have before the axle tube hits the panhard mount?

With my super soft shock setup the suspension settles about 1/4" - 5/16" at ride height, so it has about 3/4 " up travel while in motion which is plenty for me.

Was able to get out this weekend to sunny Southern Utah and enjoy some nice grippy sandstone crawling with a couple friends and a couple rigs. The buggy worked REALLY well and had a blast driving it. |

The asymmetrical portion of the rear cage for panhard mount is pretty darn slick! Nice work all around. |

Hey thanks! Rear axle is SSD diamond center and portal ends. I machined the offset tubes and panhard mount from aluminum. | |

What did you use to sipe your tires? My Berg rig could use the same treatment.
