Snorkel is made out of some rubber tube (that i just cut to size with scizzors) and a spare light bucket that came with the kit glued to the top of the rubber. I then got some mesh and pushed it into the face of the bucket. Pretty simple.
In regards to it being on the wrong side, I'm really not fussed.
The mudslingers are 1.55" I believe.
Thanks for the comments guys!

I wanna be Dave
are these inner coil shocks chosen simply to enhance performance ?
'cause I keep seeing these type of IC shocks mounted up
to a linked suspension system... and I don't get it
am I missing something here ?
Maybe I've lost touch in the 1:1 world as of late...
but thought all link'd susp. suystems required CO's ?
the shocks look nice tho'
but I'd think they'd look more to scale on a leaf sprung rig ?
not trying to be critical... just curious

To be honest I used them for the look. They were cheap and I was curious. Plus they're slightly longer so that add a tiny bit of ride height
I was a little critical of them(GMADE102) when I first mounted them up. If I pushed on the hood of the truck and then let it go quickly, the shock would rebound and the front of the truck would bounce up and down two or three times. But on the rocks that's not happening. I like the way they work. I'm using the stiff springs.

Hmm that's strange. Maybe use a softer spring? I'm using the medium spring and they sag a bit but yeah, they definitely don't bounce
They just came with two springs, soft and hard. The soft really made the truck sag. I may experiment with cutting the springs in half and using half of each with a very thin spacer between the two halves to support the springs.

Yeah that could be an option! Let me know how you go
