looking good man. glad to see its all together and moving.

I agree with the LA/SA... but its al about balance. LA is good, but i would rather have armor/lockers then long arms. but to each there own.

I chose to go with the same gear and locker combo in mine after reading threw yours...

All my pics are in this thread. Go back to the first page for wheel well pics! Do your homework, & you'll do fine.

It's the way to go I haven't got out & wheeled it yet (SOON), but I'm loving this gear setup so far! As for long arms your exactly right to each their own.

Haha I've always kinda wanted to paint it, but every time I hit a rock or drag it down a tree it reminds me why I didn't! Good times


THANKS ALL

Got the riddlers all painted up & might need to install the D30 cover sooner than I thought cause the right outer axle seal is leaking like a siv... also gonna replace the u joints while I'm at it!
