Pics from this weekend!

Troy, Kyle and Layton working on one of the cross members:


Kyle doing some final measurements


Typical shot


Jody (Prodigy) and Ace offer moral support...


MrDoug gets in on the action...


Looks like the measurements are correct!

Are you going to use straps to limit droop or are you still going to rely on the shocks?

Looks Great!.

P.s., Can you make me one? hahaha

Gotta flex it out and see, but let's just say I gotta little surprise when it comes to the shocks and they're worth protecting!

Would you be super mad if it flexed worse than stock???? Im just saying.....

I mean, it looks from those pics of everyone wrenching that there was a bunch of drinking going on and who knows if you calculations were correct!



X2, you plan on running limiting straps or the shocks as the limiting factor?

The drinking was only done by the innocent bystanders... who watched for moral support! (Seriously)

We had several engineers involved (One of which just completed his 4 link on his jeep)

And the shocks he has now are BAD ASS! So we'll see

Well we got the brake lines in and flushed. Troy took it for a spin to the car wash. I have to grind the shock mount tabs off so we can install our new bling bling shocks!

Yep - drove straight and everything! Well, at slow speed anyways ...

VERY bouncy without shocks though!

Just a couple things to do tomorrow night, and then we'll have some action shots!
