Default New front end work!

Well I ripped the old truss of the front 44 wheeling so I took it to my buddy Toby at rock rash engineering to set up a new one and help set up a new front long arm set up. On to the pics...

Front truss and new cover

Stretched forward 2-3 inches or so looks way better and approach angle is also way better

Does this mean it'll only take you a few attempts to get up Whale's Tail now instead of the baker's dozen? Doh!
