    It's on @Fifthwind's dashcam. Not the same as what you saw up front I'm sure though.

    And you got this shot right before. :p

    I have calculated that it costs me about $1.5k of mods before each Rausch trip. What a deal!

    @Sub-Zero Roger that! Do you know anyone that can weld this? I'm checking the 4x innovations site and they are saying 2 to 4 weeks before they ship. Not bad

    They have these sweet looking skids over in the group buys. I'm tempted. I still have at least 60% of my tires left. I'm thinking by next summer I am upgrading them to the Cooper st maxx. Heard good things about them

    The RAT skids? I'm not a fan of his IFS design, but realistically all the ones out there could be improved.

    Stainless steel sucks. They look like shit when they get scratched and bashed. And then you can't just rattle can to cover up the scrapes and scratches.

    Agreed. And if you get SS, you will have a much harder time welding/modifying it after you discover it's weak points.

    Good to know. They look nice when new, but didn't think about what they were going to look after wheeling.

    No the tech is. they could have told me to take a hike for having a lift but the guy didn't unfortunately the service writer that I normally use his mother was in the hospital so i had to deal with some douche nozzle instead
