Damn, cut the whole front end out and replace it with the Orange rigs set up in a night  :o You'll need to work on a Rally team Pit crew.

Some new pics. We got it built with the third seat, nine inch, orange rig suspension, 16 valve harness and more roll cage. We cut the rear quarters off and are starting from scratch.

We built new CV shafts that are extended toyota shafts so I can run the same spare inners and outers that the rest of our group has.

The axles held up great and the suspension angles seem good. I am finally able to jump the rockstar. ;D the 425lbs coils I had in the orange rig were too stiff for this rig. I borrowed some 325lbs from stan but they deemed too soft for large jumps. the coil went solid and this happened! :-X

here is a mock up of the rear panel. Its skined out for weight reduction so its just an outer panel. Im going to continue with a doorskin attatched to a side roll bar tube and a front fender. My goal is to make it look like a Tracker with a cage, not a roll cage with panels on it + keeping all passengers as safe as possible.

Hmmm, looks quite different from when I saw it last. ;D

*defrosting from my deep freeze*

Good to see some things don't change, like you and air beneath you.

I finally moved, and now own my own rock garden, surrounded by 10's of 1000's of acres of wonderful state Catskill forest to wheel.

You will get an invite to the I "S" NY invitationals.  Just bring the big toy.

I like the multi tone paint job you choose  :P Are you going back yellow, Orange, or doing something new?

It's looking good.
