Yes, we've seen the results of your minimalistic motto on broken Panhard mounts. :D

Good memory:)
But I think that had more to do with my welds. In hindsight, going minimalistic on a TB mount is probably not smart for ones first ever structural welding job.

that's why my new lower links are 2" .385 wall. The 1 3/4" .250 bent at the adjustment spud and then later on the link itself. The 2" ones have had a good thrashing and are still straight.

so what's the coilover/links report? have you got them dialed in? mine has probably about the same weight bias and I've never noticed it to be a disadvantage, it seems to help it climb and I never find myself going down crazy ledges.

It seems to work. Could be much better though.The springs are to way to soft. I was hitting hard in the woops. Plus on the trail I was using all the spring as well. Time for some stiffer ones.

One the bad side, they almost put me on my lid in the same spot Ron went over.
