Thanks for the major compliment! I don't think I have changed much though, just added to it slightly.

Anyway, we are all waiting for more pictures so what is taking so long?????

Hello everyone, a few mock up pictures of the front suspension. This truck has available 6wd with the use of the RS trans with a dig, so I went with the Lesu front springs and mounts.



I had to machine a set of control arms for the integy front axle for them to clear the front super single wheels.I will snap some pics of those as soon as the paint dries.

That's it for now.

Here are some pictures of the rear suspension on my test chassis.





The detail in the control arms were milled to simulate the 1:1.I have about 1 inch of suspension travel up and down.
more to come soon.
