yea guys, im happy with it. I got the shocks and all back together today, revalved the smoothies a little stiffer, but now i think i need to slow down the rebound. its a bit bouncy now. overall its great. a few things need to be adjusted for better fitment but thats how it goes. still need to take it and get a new crossbrace made, and add some gussets around the hoops and arms.
 












few more

wow...that stance is wider than i thought it would be...fenders..what fenders?
 












pretty neat, looks like 8 inches wider per side with that wheel backspacing or something. whose making your fenders? keep on keepin on
 






you doing rear glass?
 






rear glass might come eventually. at the moment, funding wont allow it, espically since it really doesnt add anything other than looks. im thinking about switching to a 33x10.5 in the rear which will allow the tires to tuck easier without doing much work to the rear fenders.

thats why i asked cause it looked like you might have some rear clearance issues
 






its called self clearance buddy. :D a couple runs through the whoops and 50mph, u will never rub tires again. know from personal experience and from that of friends. no need to pull besides, just mash the crap outa them.
