I had bought them when I was think about building a race truck. Since I decided not to get into the racing,I figured that the buggy would be a good spot for them.Plus my driving style is getting more aggressive every year,and I don't want the air shock to do all the work.If I had of bought 2.5 air shocks I wouldn't of bothered with the stops,and the 2.0 rad flow shocks aren't rated for as much weight per corner as the sway a ways or the baslistic shock that you have.

I've been planning on taking a few pics,but I keep forgetting .Don't have a lot to update.The chassis is striped down right at the moment for final welding.Hoping to get some paint on it next weekend, then I can start putting it back together. I wish we would get some nice weather instead of all this Fawkin Snow and cold ,makes it hard to get motivated to do anything after work. Rue

Finally remember to to take the camera out with me today.I've been having a hard time wit this buggy,seems that every time I go to do something,something FAWKS UP .Had a pretty good day today.Got it running and moving around under it's own power. Got a bunch of small items left to finsh up and then I can get some skins on it. I got tired of working on this buggy ,so I stuck a carb on it.Have a 650 double pumper on it right at the moment,and it seems to work alright,but I have a truck avenger on it's way.I'm hoping that I can make the carb work aright,kinda like how simple they are.

Seat's kinda close to the rad. ;D Not as close as the pic make it looks,There's pro ably 4" between the seat and rad.I could of had a smaller rad.I pumped the coolant though the chassis,and the needle on the temp gauge doesn't come of the pin...gota like that Rue
