Default leaf spring "88 Ranger"

Just some fuzzy teaser pics while I wait on a better camera for a full photo shoot. Its a tamiya landfreeder with a 3d printed axle, leaf springs and mud slingers.

Here's the pics. The "how" is pretty self exlpanitory and its quite easy. I used 440 rod, brass tube, locking nuts, saw back shackle and mount kit and saw back leafs. Hard core crawler...no, awsome looking trail runner...HECK YEAH!!

The entire rig will probably end up in the classifieds in a few weeks, I have builders ADHD lol. Just bought a high lift so I may cut the ranger lose when I finish it. All I like is front body mounts, driveshaft, shocks and some final leaf tweaks.
