Project?......Got the small block in :) 8-4-07

WOW my brain hurts just looking at that thing. You have done your homework. This frame is sick! Loving the air/hydro hybrid. Look forward to seeing it when you get it back from PC. Keep us updated.

Shit man...Your frame looks like five highways met at the interchange and made something bad ass. There's alot going on, but how it is set up makes it look nothing like that. Just wanted to throw you props. I always heard it was 3rd times the charm, but your 4th one is just fuckin' SIK!!! Keep those pics updated man. I'm lookin forward to seeing this thing progress!

thanks.....i think lol

your setup is basically taking the coil-over-juice to the next level. the bag has nothing to do with lift, just ride. and the juice has no affect on ride, just lift.

pretty awesome! one question on a previous post you made about the 3 link, does the rear end articulate like a 3 link should with the mounts the way they are? or is it a glorified 2 link? (ABSOLUTELY NO HATING) it looks clean as hell like that and if it still functions as a 3 link (having side to side articulation) id be interesting in utilizing similar design in later projects.

PS, im not a "hittin sides" kinda guy either. i know these things arent road-race cars, but why not design it like one if you can, right? thats how i see things

No, i havent tested it for "hitting sides" becaues i dont care. It means nothing to me if it can or cannot, I do know just from playin around in the garage with it, that one side will drop about 6" without effecting the other side at all....but i never really tested it. It just slipped off the jack stand once and one side fell lol.

I guess we dont see it the same way. I have no desire to design anything like a race car, not even if i am capable of it. I designed it to the way that i thought it would LOOK the best, and still function how i needed it to. All i was really concearned about was keeping the axle under the truck, and getting a good amount of lift with no binding on anything. Like i said, it works for me. It may not be someone or everyone elses idea of what they want, or it may not be completely "pro built and designed" but that dosent matter to me really. It obviously could have been done completely different, there are plenty of ways it could have been done, and i know there are other ways it could have been done to make it preform better. But, I like it, it works great for what i do, and i love how it looks.

right on man. like i said, in no way am i dissing your work cus its badass. and 6" of side to side articulation is way more than enough for me. was just curious if it would articulate, cuz i do like the mounting of the bars a lot.

i hate the "sittin sideways" stuff. though it was cool when i first bagged my truck, but im a lil older now and other things are more important.

anyhow, the build is awesome and im glad you are stickin to your guns and design it the way you want, cuz in the end, it is your truck. eff everyone else.

thanks man, i wasnt taking any offence to anything you said, i was just stating why i did what i did.

thanks
