    Photos Show off your LIFTED 2nd GEN

    ahhhh, yes! the mounty bumpers are more like the 99+ expo bumpers... :banghead: didn't think about that... not bad for $1000! I paid almost $7000 for mine back in '04 (probably way too much) and I'm ready to get it out in the desert! hopefully this summer I'll have the Dixon Bros kit and 33's...

    dixon brothers racing questions

    aha, yea, I thought the TTB setup would be cool - but started talking to somebody much wiser than I in the world of fabrication and was a bit turned off...

    dixon brothers racing questions

    I called them last year while I was overseas and couldn't get a whole lot of info...

    Carlovers Desert Beater Build

    well, I know you can't seal it with like rubber grommets or anything, I was thinking more along the lines of boxing it off... I probably won't have quite as big of a shock as you, so I was thinking boxing the floor up about 6"x6" directly above the axle and building my towers under the bed... It...

    Carlovers Desert Beater Build

    Just wanted to say great work on your X. Everything has come together really well even with a few set backs (I imagine that was a pretty scary experience breaking those spindles?) I'm getting started on my LT for my 97 Eddie when I get home in November. One question for you - I noticed you...
