Project Downward Spiral

a little birdie told me the same thing.
 
Not done, I still need to build a front bumper but I got a loaner and some towhooks from an awesome dude. Thanks again Colin, MoparManiac, for hauling me all over the place. It isn't to often you find a guy as nice as this dude. Really, props! :patriot:

I am VERY happy with how it runs and drives. The Pitbulls did great and climbed everything I asked them to. The spring rates seem pretty good. I might adjust the rate stops just a hair but I'll get another run or two on them before I mess with them.

Anyway... I don't have many pictures but I know Adam, Dundy, has some good shots that will be up later. Here's the ones I got for now:

and climbing that 1st ledge in the video where he climbed it is not trivial. anything less than 35's has no chance of making it.

Also went to another trail in that area and climbed some pretty good ledges, but I don't have those pictures. I'm sure Colin and Adam will comment as well.

Thanks! Haha, go ahead.

From when I was building the panhard:
RCman said:
From full bump to full droop my front axle moves a total of 13/16" side to side. Meaning from ride height to one or the other the axle moves 13/32" side to side. I don't think this is a huge amount over the total 12" of travel.
The whole front did excellent. I am very happy with how it reacts and preforms.
hammer down!!
Haha, not to much. ;)
Thanks Dude!
