Steering is mocked up in the front. Still debating what to do about the steering. Looks like I only need 5" of stroke in the ram to use all the steering that the knuckle seal have. I bought the trail gear knuckle seals, and I'm think I might be able to get a little more steering with the stock felts. But then I would need to take everything apart to try it. Might just limit the ram for now.  Rear air shocks are cut down to 12" travel., and are mocked up. So I now have a roller( woohoo)  Not a very good pic, but it gives you an idea of the size of the buggy. Tires are 37" Krawlers.  |

awesome. it was definately worth it for me for you to push it outside. I bet it'll crawl and slide around like a mofo.

You've done it again! Changed the rules. That thing is fawking tiny! Look how low it goes, frig. Should be really stable. Cab still looks roomy enough, the seats are not jammed together.
When I asked about the hole missing in the steer arm - now I see the tab for ram is welded to tierod.
Looks awesome man.
