Nice, Chuzie. Do you know how far out it was when you took it for alignment?

It wasn't awful but the camber on passenger was visibly disturbing.

I call it the "Anti-Chuck"

You know, for those times when your 3rd shells out and you wish you had something to support your axleshafts while limping off the trails.

Selectable bolt holes to prevent tube from walking off shaft. Variable in case shaft is sheared.

Finally ditched my two 8gal action packers in favor of a single larger unit. It fits perfectly although I had to shave off the additional lock tabs at the front corners to allow the tailgate to close.

I'm pretty pleased.

Looking good! Can you affix an old tow truck boom to the back of that thing??

Not sure if this counts as wrenching, but a lot of grinding, fitting, and finishing. The racer is now stroppe-ized once again!

I like it the way it is!

----------------------

Today I rewired my rear side markers so that have dual functionality. I get both marker and turn signal from the same bulb. I like the added vis for the other morons on the road.

Also modified my transmission shift tables so I wont exceed 5,000RPM anymore. My lead foot is going to blow this motor one day. Since I'm not mature enough to govern my foot, the transmission will.
