    alot of metal, small engine, decent travel.
    caged, camburg long travel, 50t leafpack (soon to be installed) light rack over cab, 5pt harnesses etc

    beams=mas travel and they are 4x4 beams so he can have alot of travel and maintain the 4wd.

    clearance is lowered a bit by beams, and bad allignment through out the wheel travel.

    i used to be biased and i didnt like beams, but im starting to like them more and more...
