i would suggest moving your front shocks on the diff end towards the outside more so your shocks are straighter, just an idea |

Nice job . Good clean install of the electronics. Looks like it could use a delrin skid plate so sharp rock to get hung up on the trany. Nice clean tuber build. |

That looks GREAT Nice size, nice lines, still got all the electronics in there nicely. I never thought about dressing up my MIG welded tubers with some brazing work. Damn good idea!! I will have to try that on my next one. |
