Rims are sick with that raw finish! How do you like the steering set up like that? What are the advantages?

It keeps it up out of the way.It also seems to give me a little more turning radus. I just need to move the passenger side link behind the servo arm.

Thanks kane. I decided to stick with the rock grabbers for the comp. I need to get some more time in with the rovers to see which ones I like better

Back to back I think your rock grabbers work better on Hanks truck. |

I put the rovers on this afternoon and went out. The rovers were making some of the off camber climbs that I just could not do with the grabbers. I am not sure if it's the fact that I have a little more weight in the rovers or not. I want to add more weight to the rock grabbers to equal out the weight in both sets and do some more crawling.

Now that I have put equal weight in both the grabbers and the rovers I think I like the way the rovers preform better. Way less tire roll on side hills I think I also want to lighten the shock oil weight in the front a bit to see if I can get it to flex a little smoother.
