an ex-naxja member who did fabwork on the side did some work on the rig, and well i am now finding out its all crap. the whole front suspension needs to be redone. ill be done someday i hope.

i started with this thing i bought this for $1500.




then i ben jones'd it.






so then i parted it out and took a ton of parts and made this happen.








hooking up the tcase i found this out today.....
