Re: I bought my first crawler project this weekend!

X2 and why is the rear end shifted over to the left by about 6-7 inches?  :yikes: :dunno: Or is it the pic? or me?

Might be different axles than what I'd thought.  I'm not too knowledgeable on straight axle stuff.  I've always known a-arm front and IRS rears from desert racing.  I still have lots to learn.

When I bought the truck last weekend and put it on the trailer I found out that the spring perches weren't welded on the rear axle and the u-bolts weren't all that tight... glad I strapped the body and chained the axles.  They shifted some when trailering.  When the axle is centered the inside of the tire is nearly all the way outside of the body.  Might not be legal for the road, I'll have to find out what the NV laws are.  I think that picture is a bit skewed, took it on my cell phone.

I'll post more pics after I take them tonight, might need a bit of help and suggestion... or a lot.
