If you are going to go to all the trouble of cutting off your legs for the sake of wheeling, then you might as well go with thought actuated controls and just sit in there and think your way through the trail.
I was thinking of something more reasonable:crazy::crazy::crazy:

All those levers just to wheel. You is wacked, IZWack. I only have two and get confused....Wait...Aahhhhhhh CRAP!:p:
 






I know how you feel. I have 5. 2 for the Atlas, 1 for the tranny, and 2 for the rear cutting brakes.
 






Hey Harold,

General consensus from Ford is that you do NOT need that puck, since the manual tranny's flywheel is thicker. They're only for automatics. Sorry it took me so long to get an answer, the tech I wanted to ask was on vacation!

Oh poor poor you, you must be tired from lifting that glass of lemonade all day long :p:
As a matter of fact, I did have lemonade today. While we were seated on the outside patio of our favorite Greek eatery. Quite nice. Had to sit in the shade though....:p:

My we like to rub it in, don't we? As I sit here waiting for the foot of snow I'm supposed to get, to finally end. But then again, I love the snow wheelin'!

Actually, I was looking forward to some colder weather since we don't really get seasons here. Winter seemed to have lasted about a month, then it warmed up again.
 






Old rear cross member was too difficult to work with as far as mounting the shocks so made another:

Shock mounts like so:

The top of each tower will tie into the cage.

Are you using a hole saw to drill all those holes?
Yup yup.

So far I've tried two brands of hole saws, Dewalt and Rigid -- the Rigid cuts like twice as fast as the Dewalt but is more noisy. I've heard there are other better brands out there but Home Depot carries Rigid so thats what I've been using.
