They are .250 wall 1.5" DOM with 3/4 heims. SHOULD be thick enough :crossed:  but if they fail I'll step up to the 2" DOM. The only point of contension is that they are all 53" long and I'm a bit of a throttle jockey... :ha_ha:

Thanks! I'm working on the rear tube fenders and skining out the rear now, the tube fenders will actually act as the bump stop for the up-travel. I was wanting to wait till it was complete and everything was cleaned up and painted before I posted more pics but I thought these pics we're pretty cool.

Hey BigMike, you convinced on the 4-link/ Nitro combo yet??? I know I know, I gotta get some action pics up before it'll truely impress, after all, alota flex aint good for chit unless it can go!

Just for anybody running Nitros, we added 100cc's of oil to them and it made a WORLD of difference!

you might think about doing a half sleeve on the underside of the lower links...those look like the first rock you try to slide over is gona bend them.

All links are 53" Lowers run centerline of axle, dual triangulated. I'll get you some close up pics of the mounts and tab locations next time I'm at the shop if you'd like.

Thanks, I'd appreciate that.  Where's the gastank, btw?

I can't remember exactly the seperation I wanna say it was 10 or 12 degrees. I'll get under there and measure it for you though.

Thanks alot for all the nice things you guys are saying about my truck. We've worked long nights and hard on it to make it sa-weeeet.

I appreciate it. :love:

Oh hell ya its SAWEEEEEEEEEEEET! I like the fab pic where the gas tank sits. Thats some nice looking work. If it does half as good on the trail as it looks like it could do then Ill be impressed. Its going to run everyone over. You will need to put a link in for some video for us. Have to see some footage of that thing.

I'll sure link that video up! You better believe it'll do good, I don't care how pretty it all is if it were to not go I'd pull out the torch and make corrections! :flamer:

We planed it out pretty good I think, my partner at TrailWerx is really good at setting up link suspensions and has taught me a lot, we spent a lot of time on the geometry rather than just slinging 4 links under there. Theres a big ride locally coming up in October and I'm trying to shag ass on it to get it ready for that.

 For the record, this thing isnt limited at all right now, as Jason mentioned we just stuck it up on the lift to play and well... obvioulsy it has gobs of wheel travel  :wave:      I cant wait until we get Jason on the trails in it and I get to video tape him rompin the hell out of it... after all that is what it is for.  Being pretty will hopefully just be a natural side affect  :ladys-man:      Still has some detail work to finish out but its indeed a sweet ass ride !!!!!!   

We appreciate all the good words... thats nice motivation to finish it up sometime this century  :gap:

I think I just wet myself.  That is looking awesome.  I hope my rig will work as well as that one is looking.  I can't wait to see it in action.


What drivetrain you running again?

looks like a 44 ft and a 12 bolt rear

HAHAHHAAH, Homie thats a 60 front and a semi float 14 in the back out of a H2 (Elocker anyone?)    :smack:   

The runner also has a supra motor, dual cases with the rear having a gearset in it.  4.56 gears in the diffys, full hydro/hysteer and what ever else I cant remember   :beerchug:
