Looks great!  Is it just the low quality image, or is the front strut a little more "husky" than an OEM strut?

It's been a busy time since July 4th.. multiple nights to 1 am and last night we had 6 guys wrenching on the Donkey.. It's amazing you put a race car in the driveway shine lights on it and people come out of the woodwork to help and offer stories of racing Baja and other areas.. Good conversations and advice with a common theme that silt sucks and sucks bad..

A bit of an update for you all
Motor:
As you may remember our motor had 120 er 150K on it.. Can't remember and was running poorly on a couple cyclinders..
We have a fresh head and valves but the same crappy pistons and bottom end.. At least we are firing on all cylinders..
PS:
New reservoir as the old one vomited all the fluid through out the last race
Fuel Cell:
yep new Jaz 12 gallon with fast fill kit.
also installed the splash shield wall thing
Shocks:
Rear- slightly used 14" bilstein 7100 remote reservoirs in the rear.. Gained 6" of down travel and we should have some actual dampening..
Front- Added a secondary SAW 10" remote reservoir shocks.. No idea of the valving or shock condition.. They might suck
Brakes:
same 4 door disks in the front, disks repaired in the rear from last race..
Tranny
Same 150-190K 3 speed auto
window nets
Moved to the door so we have more room in the cab..

thats about it for now..  Will post more pics as I remember to take them
