    :laugh:


    just some reinforcing of the known weak points. mostly the bushing sleeves. going to wrap those with 1/8'', and gussett where the arm meets the bushing sleeve. maybe a welded 1/8'' skid. the bolt on skids i have now are great, but i don't like how the arms are full of dirt now, with no drainage. probable seal them up completely. then it's new bushings and ball joints.

    Yesterday's project: Fender guards for SMKYTXN.

    ARB claps to the headlight hoop, Ruff Stuff clamps down at the slider, and 5 bends per side. turned out stronger extremely strong.

    We ran a little short on time, so Nathan will have to post thos photos of the final, painted product.
