damn!!!!!!!!
 






that was the second one, the first one was higher, but my friend ran outa memory and had to switch cards, we had that street blocked off and had a crowd. my buddy jumped first in his toyota tacoma. man my first was was twice that, his cam stopped at the approach the first time, it was nice. those super swampers have a very nice feel when jumping. i was aired down.
 






you got some balls. i'd be afraid of something breaking in my truck. it makes enough noise while going slowly on pavement.
 






Yep, good solid way to ruin your front end. Needs replaced anyway though huh? SAS? I thought it was so fun to jump my S10, until the front end started falling apart. I had a hub unit bearing come apart going down the highway and lost a wheel/ rotor. Another time I had to weld my upper A-Arm because it was stress cracked from airing it out. Looks cool in pics though! Probably helped soak it up ton if you aired down!
 






haha, your crazy.....when are we gonna it next? anyways got my body lift installed and shackles, goin tomorrow to buy ,longer t-bolts. the freakin radiator man was gay. we managed to deal with it and everything is the way it was.
 






Wow! You had such a big jump that your bumpers were pushed down from the body! WOW!

thats cool, hey man the 19th is goin to be nuts, along with this upcoming weekend, it was fun. hopefully i have the brackets for my driveshaft this week.
and yes the front can go, my sas will be done in less then 6 months. i am buying a welder and i am going to learn how to from a hull technician on my boat. he said he would help. i figure the cost of the welder would be way cheaper with the roll cage when i chop the back, to the straight axle itself. all i have to do is learn how to weld. i think i am smart enough to handle that. later,

aww man you have no idea. I cant wait. i got it marked on my calender with multiple colors, arrows and waht not. I need to learn to weld too, after that i can do my swap. Like why not, i got an axle sittin in my garage for it. See ya later.
