Blocks on the rear axle, tiny contol arms, very poorly thought out anti-wrap for the rear axles....

No thanks, It's an accident waiting to happen.

it would make a good yard display.

all of those mounts for the antiwrap bar and la's look like they are gonna rip off!! guess he doesnt believe in gussets?

plus im pretty sure he has the uppers mounted in the dropped location of the skyjacker crossmember. that means he has super short uppers and long lowers......can you say driveshaft bind?

almost seems like the seller is trying to fool people. if the guy put that much time and effort into building it and now wants to sell it with that little of driving behind the wheel, sounds like he screwed something up and doesn't want to deal with it now.

skip it. looks good, but logic is biting the back of my head saying "yeah, somethings up with this."

Seems like alot of money was invested for a show and shine, trophy grabber. Been there, done that, but it's a hell of alot more fun to be able to play with what ya built.
