    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    so, $1,600 for the LCA, $1,200 for custom coilovers, $1,000 for bypasses, $400 for bumpstops, $900 for UCA, $1,000 for spindles, $250 for secondary shock hoops...

    $6,350 for beefy mid travel? and that's just the front end?

    hope you are getting that on sponsorship, cuz that is bank...

    anywho, once you get it installed, i would like to see this in person...

    if you are down, it would be cool to see how it handles in the Mojave desert...

    no soft beach dunes...

    it would really be interesting to see it go through the paces in a place like Barstow...

    Watch the area where the sway bar is attached to the frame as the suspension cycles. The fenders and stuff don't budge, but there's a lot of flex in places that I would think would be rock solid.

    Around 1:30 on.

    agreed, it looks like it's putting the majority of the force on the frame :woot:for no sway bar

    I bet the camera was mounted to the body. The body is rubber mounted. I would like to know where it was and see the same run (if original was mounted to body member) with camera mounted to a frame point.
