Took it over to a friends to bend up some tube.
The next day he sent me some pics from his afternoon free time.
you can really see how much higher the rear is sitting in these pics.

Instead I hope to have it look similar to this.
im digging the heck outa that!!

Went over Sat & basically finished the tube work. Then we went riding.
These things are fun since you can almost take then down atv trails.
Once i add the new headlights i will finish the front tube.
Need to mount the tank solid & re-hang the sheet metal.
Also thinking bout picking up some cheap doors to make half doors with if anyone knows where some are.

well currently it pulls to the left some... need to fix the steering. Other then that it does fine upto about 40, then the tires start to vibe a good bit.
With the 30s on it, it still has enough power in high range... when I had 34s on it, there wasnt even enough to start out in high.
I still want to put the turbo on it. But for now... finish the small stuff and wheel it some. See if the IFS can hold up. I know where a supply of sami axles is if needed, but hope i can keep her alive.
