Nice pics Brian!

What the deal with the 1:1 in the background, it looks pretty hardcore.

Rockwells, tsl 44's, 4 link, coil-overs....pretty norm anymore


The pattern you cut the rears is alright but it doesn't work near as well as those tires can and if you really want sidewall performance you gotta nip off the sidewall lugs

For some, there is no help. Try searching for it.

To attach the hose clamp i just put 2 screws through the axle housing and 2 of the slots on the clamp. Works great!

Not quite the norm, this is a 4 seater, rear motored buggy 4 link with coil overs. I believe its got a caddy motor in it as well, cant remember off the top of my head. Oh and those are only mock up tires from what i can tell, something tells me it will end up on 49 iroks or 44" boggers which are about 47" tall.

I think they flex just right, almost too much. Not sure whats next.
