Looks cool to me,not sure if I would've painted over the screws/nuts though, might make breaking down the housing a little tough. And who's "Ursula"? |

You may want to stretch that WB out to 17-18 inches. Moab XL's on a 13" WB truck is going to look goofy and not perform very well.

"ursula" is the name of this project. i bought the axles in that shape, after all the mach up is done, she'll get a freshin up,haha. inorder to stretch it out, i think i may need to make longer links,but there is enough meat on the side plates for a few more holes to drill. anyone here run lst shocks? i was thinkin of doin somthin with those, perhaps running a inner spring instead of the external big spring. |

looks like a super hero!  this pic looks good. use these mount positions for starters http://i11.tinypic.com/48ptnc6.jpg however cut off the top of the chassis, its just added weight and higher CoG. (cut just above your upper link mounts) also id move your upperlink mounts OUT 1 hole (to the outermost hole) that will rotate your axles up gaining you clearance. |

lol! im sure "super hero" wasn't in my mind when I pulled Ursula's name out of the hat, i can see your point tho!:-P Went out and got more material for some longer links, finished cleaning up my c/f chassis, it is a weird material to work with! ill try and post more progress pics in a bit, just busy. Stang, Sinisters' a bitchin rig man! question, where do you find your half moons, or overextenders for the link rod ends, i need more. and do you have any more picks for your lower shock mounts, pretty simple idea, ya? thanks! |

Seriously... Tell me you didn't just cut up an Xtreme Racing carbon fiber chassis. Do you know what that is worth to the right people?? Heavy |
