I'll shoot some of his 3-link next time i've over there. It's set-up similar to a long arm kit with only one upper on the passenger side.

Radiator and fan are behind the rear seat.

It's a trail only rig.

My camera phone pwns you gil.

i like his camera phone pics, they load easier when i'm at work(dial-up) they are pretty good pictures for a camera phone. the cellular industry has made vast improvements since camera phones first came out and you had to look at a picture from 3 feet away to make sense of all the giant pixels smashed together.

Honestly I'm not sure. I'm going to tellico the weekend of the 24-26. I'm starting the 4-link build next week during my spring break. So whichever comes first. I might still have leafs come that weekend, or I might have coils, who knows .
