Did everything line up ok for you?

Pete, can you move your sliders back one hole on the chassis? Just wondering.
I think my new Bronco could use a set of those sliders.

I kind got away from those for while. I don't have a bronco to get measurements off of, I think those would be to wide? I have had some testers out for quite a while, no problems so it is time to do some up.

No this is wb4 i cut 2 braces and ziptie the rear down so it is like funny car to get inside with the long wheel base it puts motor in cab some but u never notice. Also why i had to customize my gullwing sliders from codyboy holes didnt match with cab. I thought about the spacers to move cage back but didnt look right to me. So i put together stock and modfided

Oh man that's a cool K10 now!

I'm so tempted to stretch mine out to wb4, think I would cut the rear chassis off level with the cage too.

All you guys seem to be getting great results with the RULRs, I'm gunna try get my hands on some one day....or make em!
