He is finishing everything up this morning and should have it back in a few hours. Pictures will come once I get it back!

Haha, thanks man!

I'm about to invest in a new camera (primarily to have higher quality pics of our upcoming Disney trip) but it will be nice to shoot the jeep too.

Question-
Does that upper arm interfere with the driveshaft?



Never mind just seen most three links have the upper arm on the driver side...
