What are those things? They look like the Currie Antirock bar. Going up from the axle to the weird arm looking things.

My guess would be a fail safe if the ram had a problem. I've seen a heim brake on one side then you're screwed. It's pretty and all but I've seen much better builds. And I got nothing on the rock sliders.

500+ HP 434CI small block Chevy engine, power is transmitted through a built TH400 and Atlas II transfer case. 37' BFG Krawlers connected to Dynatrac High Pinion 60 differentials sprung by Fox shocks.

Vehicle has complete 4130 chassis and full hydraulic steering. On board air, Fuel Cell. Serious inquires only. $60,000

It's sold already, anyway, I always get a kick out of ads that say "Serious inquires only", so I guess if you're a circus clown or a stand up comedian, you can't call.

LOL

Brilliant. But what appears to be the fuel inlet has a kink in it. It's like a black-eye on a beauty queen.

All that work and it looks like they forgot about the grille and headlights. And why mount the alternator so damn low?

yeah I figured it's a failsafe too but come on shoulda just gotten the largest ram arms possible and double sheared the knuckles. the tires aren't even that big

I do like the build though. someone spent damn near 50k building that..
