    Re: Hotrod to ####'s Truck Arm Suspension Hey Norm, I didn't mean to be taking anything away from the truck arm design as I said it's been proven to be an extremly stable high speed suspension,just for me realisticly bolt on stuff should be fine as probably all I'll do is drive to work &...

    Instrument cluster and A/C Bracket update

    Re: Another small update - 11-29-08 Hey Doober, Thanks for the advice but that's getting a bit to technical for me for 4 leds,I'll probably just go get an assortment around the values Philip mentioned and play with them a bit,I can't imagine they cost much at all,probably do the Radio Shack...

    Spherical Rear Bushing

    Looks to me like the TRZ's are the way to go and I bet an industrius kind of feller could either find or make some sort of "dust boot" if they were worried about dirt getting in them say in a street driven application like mine,seems to me I saw something similar on Global West's site one day...

    Hey Doober, Yep it probably would,the fist thing I'd have to do is get rid of that shroud or whatever you want to call it and make it look like an engine,I'm afraid I'm old school when it come to that,I don't want to pop a hood and look at a bunch of plastic or what have you and wonder...
