Looks great! Now, fix that misbehaving coil spring, and go beat the hell outta it in Cruces.
EDIT: In the future, I will read the captions under pictures.

I was able to put about 50 miles on it yesterday!!!
Still need to finish some details with the wiring, interior light, switch labels, mounting spare parts, etc...
It works pretty well

Did that thing pass inspection or does Dixie Tire have another store in Houston?
Oh yeah, Looks good too. Let's see some poser axle twisting shots!
Can you post a pic of you standing next to it? I'd like to get some sort of height reference, the 37's look a little small now...
Better yet can you get a pic of it pulled up next to lets say a STOCK Nissan Patrol of a Similar year?

I've actually changed something since I built it... It's been pretty good to me.
Since I broke off my Redneck ram on a trip in OK and then wheeled it without the ram in Cibolo and Katemcy - I broke some studs on my steering knuckle - I have decided to fix my hydo-assist problem.
I bought a new ram and installed it closer to the axle (mounted to the knuckle and not the tie rod). The tie rod has over 9" of travel and mounting a 8" stroke ram limits my steering if mounted to the tie rod. This should make my steering fasted also.
I also added some "Oh Shiit" grips for the passenger - cut up the handle bars from my old BMX bike and used those - all I have to do now is figure out a way to hook up the brake levers to a bell or something...
A few more additions and some touch-up on the paint and it should be ready for a wedding get-away limo
I will try to get some pics up by the end of the week
On a side note, I looked at the date of my last post since my first trip out (Spring Break). It's been a year and 4 days

fixing to redo the rear links...
teardown. Waiting on steel / rod ends...
If I have time before the OK trip I will redo the rear with tubing and dovetail the side fenders.
