The only thing that worries me is this warning posted in the men's room towel drier. Makes me kinda think about the good Dr. Must be a jeeper thing

Hey Grape Ape we cut the hell out of the crosmember and moved the axle as foward as posible. That's one of the advantages with the 4 link. There is no contact. Hope this helps.

Looks fantastic Tom Well worth the wait. Speaking of... looks like the truck got a little dusty, you can barely make out the kokopeli

The kokopeli is a drawing of an Indian flute player.

Very impressive Tom...looking forward to the ramp pictures. What are the width on those tires again?

Happy trails!!

Any specs on the tube you used for your relocated air cleaner?

 

[FAKRWEE]

Thanks Rick, can't wait for the maiden voyage to TH next week.

Josh C. Tires are 37X12.50X17.

Ryan I'll take some measurements when I get the rig back. Remind me if I forget.

Hey Fakrwee,

Yes, I saw you chopped it up, but you need to brace it. You can't just leave the crossmember like that.

I am using a three link with coil-overs and moved the axle forward about 2".

Definitely ask your fab guys about the strength issue of that crossmember.

Grape Ape. I've looked at your webpage before. Very nice graphic work!

 

[Trckmagik]

Very nice Grape Ape.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I try to cover all models.
I don't want to take the focus off of Fakrwee truck though.
