Body Damage is Cool

Are you going to modify the upper rear control arms? With as much lift as you are dialing in, you may destroy them on flex. Man your gonna need a long brake line. Parking brake will need massaging too. Ditch the rear sway bar I would guess.

You're in uncharted territory. You will struggle more than anyone with this project but it'll be awesome. Keep plugging away.

As for the brake line, i have the Taco extended line and it will be more than fine as the stock one worked fine before with 3 or so inches. The parking brake will definately be a problem, but not worried about it just yet as I will have to probably move the handle for the crawler to fit in. Got to love uncharted territory...

Regarding the rear, have you looked at Fear's pics from Carnage Canyon? They appear to have more exposed rear suspension stuff to perhaps shed some light on a more productive rear set-up.

Keep hammering away at this. It will no doubt be awesome when it is completely done!

Benny's crap takes up way more room than my stuff. Not to mention he wants to scrap the entire project now, so I don't think he needs anymore room. We have a whole other bay free and clear. I take up a third, benny takes up a third, and then various other sh** that belongs to benny's friend take up the rest. Right now I have a damn 350 block shoved under the front of my junk. If Benny needs room, he can stop collecting other peoples junk...

Shaker graces us with his presence, but something good happened today too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I just got my DRAG LINK!!!!!!!!!!!

With any luck, my crawler parts will be in tomorrow too so I can go ahead and get that junk taken care of...<hr /></blockquote>You know, speaking of Tim, you probably could've just had him make your drag link... I mean call me crazy but I think he does DAMN good work and can get it done faster than Parts Mike... Just a thought <img border="0" alt="[Hillbilly]" title="" src="graemlins/notooth.gif" /> Oh are you running his steering?
