[utah340six]

2 IN X 14 AIR SHOCKS

so now he has motor back in, body on cage back on.
had to reajust cage.
no mater how you weld still pulls when you finish welding.
PS now the toyata rear is coming out and a dana 60 going in?
?? it only has a 22re motor.

 

[TubeToy]

Well the shocks are fox 16 in shocks, and after talking to a bunch of people about the toy axles and how easy it is to blow up the ring gears i decided to run a shaved dana 60 with cromo 35 spline, and cromo waggy 44 front.
Now my week link is the dule case rear out put shaft, So I will just have to take a spare case with me when I go out.
