Oh yeah its awesome. My welds on the axle trackbar bracket look pretty ugly but out of position with a stick welder does not make show quality beads lol. They are plenty strong though which is what matters. I never got a sticker with the parts though, guess I gotta send it back

Picked up some Bilstein 5100s today from Seth at 4wp. Drives amazing now, no more bouncing all over the place! Also got lucky with the upper shock bolts, none seized or broke!

Finally got to shake her down today, at Moody Hill! Walked a few lines I wouldn't have even tried before, and at the quarry struggled on the same ones (slick marble and tons of loose dirt with no lockers) and had a great time! nothing failed and everything performed awesome.
So I give you one poser shot and one action shot

Grooved and siped my Baja Claws, hopefully they will actually have lateral traction now.

Ideal 250 watt grooving iron. Like 60 bucks on eBay, same as I used on my old TSLs. So far they ride much better, the lug slap doesn't make it feel like a tank at 5mph

Just ordered Brown Dog motor mounts and some LEDs for the custom taillights I built. Can't wait for them to arrive!
