|  Slight Progress
Picked up a set of axial 8013 beadlocks and moab xl's off d'bay...definite narrowing called for! Got the whites so I can dye them later.  I used the drill press/cut off wheel technique to take out aprox. 1.125", and epoxy'd. Overall width is now 2" Here is the mockup after the epoxy cured:  I need to mill the ends of the 12mm-14mm widener/adapters to 17mm and narrow them up quite a bit, and do some SERIOUS foam cutting. With the new found ground clearance I should be able to put my droop shocks back on and not get hung up on everything. |

The good news is that I finally finished narrowing and milling my adapter ends for 17mm....the bad news is that on the test run I got trigger happy.  Extreme flex situation + wedge of the left front + itchy trigger finger = WTF was that noise, and why does my tire look funny...DOH!  |
