    Soooooooooooooo this thing is kinda handfull in the rain with the locker on. Should probably get after installing the anti-sway bar before I wad it up. Never would have thought this truck would actually run this well. Need to underdrive the S/C now and really see what it's capable of.

    On one of my last outings the prototype overhead console that I made out of poplar about 6 years ago finally failed so I made a slight upgrade to some 0.09 5052.

    Oh it can be. I just want to make it so that it installs using the existing fastening locations with the map and dome lights. but relocate the lights into the console, similar to what you did but going all the way back past the dome light.

    You could have three linked it, so that you do not have to relocate the gas tank.

    Dude, your solid work skills are something to seriously be envied. I've only played around with it and can see the potential of myself spending $$$$ at my local laser shop.

    Quick question. Did you or have you ever thought about doubling up the wall thickness on the bottom of your rear lower links. Looks like you just have the tubing itself on the bottom. Is that right or did I miss something?

    BTW, love the build
