Hey Monkeyboy, guess what I've got in my pocket. It's round, and blue...... No, it's not a Smurf's nad, and no, I'm not that cold..... Any guesses?? :D

Prograss as of today. Still a long way to go, but it's sitting on it's own wheels, and it's starting to look like something. Enjoy.

I'm curious as to why you decied to run only one upper control arm in the front. I mean I'm sure it will be fine, but what about the extra stress and torque on the one side? I've never heard of a D60 tube spining at the diff, but do you think that might be a possible problem?

Can't wait to see it in action Braden! :cool:

You've never heard of a D60 spinning a tube, huh? Yeah, um... I kinda spun the tubes on BOTH my front and rear 60s last year. Oops. :rofl: They're welded and gusseted now so I dont anticipate that being a problem. The somewhat unusual suspension desing is due to lack of space. It's actually closer to one lower and two uppers (and a track bar), than the other way around. It should work. They're is just no space to fit a lower on the drivers side and still have a front driveshaft (I need one of those, right?). I plan on getting some seat time in it before the first comp, so if it doesn't work, I can go back to the drawing board and come up with something else.

SuperRanger, thanks! I just want to be like you, y'know. :)

T_Love, I hope to have it in Moab for at least part of the safari.

Oh well then, shows how much I pay attention! :rofl:

I guess I typed that backwards, I meant one lower. :)
