Other than a total lack of mount points, looks great! What material did he use? Brakeline? |

I like the compactness of it.....I just wonder how the shocks will look on it and how much they might be at an angle..... Keep posting pics....really nice job, clean too....  |

Thanks! Yeah, I'll be at 'lil Moab to try out the new rig. I'm still learning about the whole hobby, so maybe I'll learn more on the trip?
