The rig looks great Tyler! One you get used to it we will have to start worrying about you as a weekly podium threat you had some of the best driving I have seen from you on Sunday, now make that juice work driver

Try laying the rear shocks down a hole or two and see what it does for you.

Nice looking truck, those 5spoke wheels w/ the holes have really been on a lot of rigs down there in Florida, those little ****s. At least they have good taste

You only gotta resect your elders outside of competition, when its time to compete, beat on them mercilessly!

The wheelworks? Bill bought them and ran them most of 2010, loaned them to me while my DH's were being worked on, then Tyler used them for mockup. They are nice wheels. And I've been called worse by better boss

Yeah the wheelworks M887's, i really like them. They are like my ex, they get aroundIm keeping rovers mounted up on them, with kinda firm foams for a different feel.

Nice chassis choice....ive just bought one for my berg build....just hate waiting for them to swim over the pond ....them T1E rear links look real well.

Have you taken it out on the rocks or are you hand cycling it and couch driving? Layed down more they will respond faster, lowers the center if gravity a hair, and helps fight the rear end wanting to drive under the rig, the latter is most noticeable in rear dig.

We will leave miramar with that thing dialed. I am leaving my rig at home, but bringing my batteries and tools. We will just tune yours. Bring wheel weights. What weight oil are you running?
