Sorry fro the blurry pics. Since those pics were taken i stood the shocks up more (help fight torque twist) Made custom links and got it set at 11.5" WB. And Made a rear bumper. Hopefully my camera will be back by tonight!

Well i added an exhaust. But no camera yet :neutral: Looks pretty good. I want to add some LED's to the bumper also. The exhaust comes out of the bumper and sticks out about 1/4"

Because he adds a full tube cage. And his work is amazing. I just bought a bare chassis off him. No tube work or any mockup.
