Steel 4 links front and rear, 1 ounce weights in each wheel. I tried increasing contrast to make the pictures easier to see because they were so bright because of the rock.

I haven't put the stainless tubes on yet but I do have them.

I'm still trying to figure out how to link the steering because I guess I would have to get some angles rod ends.

For the main steering link try bending the tread rod u used for the links and use normal (stright) rod ends

.
Should work i think

The pool is pretty full! I'm surprised the water was flowing.
Definitely taking mine there when all the little tweaks are done. It's one of the first places I thought of when I started building.
Thanks for the post.

Sweet looking spot.

I didn't use any angled rod ends when I did my steering, I'm not having any issues with how it's set up. (Mine also didn't start as a Honcho, but as a Dingo, same thing though).

I might try this or get new steering knuckles that stick out further or try to add spacers to raise it a little bit.

With the way it is now a straight piece wouldn't clear, and especially when turning.
