Well got the front links shortened a hair. It doesn't look a ton different but I think it's better. Don't pay attention to the weird tall stance. The shocks can off a heavy rig and I may need to change to a softer rig. We'll see once I get it all together. I also did the links with steel tube instead of stainless so they'll rust. That just means I have to replace the rear ones now!  |

damn Trey, that is tough!  What's your wheel base? Are you going cms? You may need to move that axle back farther to clear the panhard. Hera's wb is now, after several failed lengths, 13". |

Hmmm...that's a good point. I didn't think of that. I'm at 13.5" now.

I like it.. I think the front could go back abit, do you have any binding while flexed? Im finding shorter links tend to bind up more, atleast for me.

Thanks! No binding yet. You might be right though...I think it needs to come back a bit more. I need to pick up some more all thread tomorrow and try again.

Thanks man! I remade the rear links last night with bare steel tube so they'd rust. The ones that were on it are stainless. Tonight I'm going to take another stab at the front ones. Then I need to start thinking about how to mount all the electronics. I think most of them will go in the rear, I just need to make a floor for the rear trunk area. I have no idea where the battery is going to go though...I may need to get some smaller ones.

Probably not. I don't really want to mess with installing all your running gear in it, just to take it back out.
