Damn, this is off the chain. I want something like this for a mini truck. I've seen similar on Badgerland's site but it's not quite the same... and I dunno why but this just does it for me...
saw a video on youtube that seemed to fall into the hardcore catagory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti1MHUS62v0
My homestate has some f-ing talent in the mini truck category! I wasn't sure about the yellow when I first saw it but holy damn that truck turned out awesome.
The thing i like best about that build is the added shocks up front! Great idea. Considering OEM struts are like 250.00 ea. It circumvents the need to replace the struts!
when you add a bumper like that you have to beef up the shocks (or struts) to handle the extra weight. with the jeeps, it's not uncommon to have to add a spacer to the coils to handle the xtra weight of the bumpers. i know when i built the tire carrier for mine i had to add a 1" spacer to level the rig up.
Yep, Glad I won't be doing any of that. They are great in the woods though with all of my nasty Locust trees.
