Hey Guys...,

Thank you all for the repplies, suggestions ad tips,

BUT I ended up buying an LST2, which I loved it, except for the fact that I alredy broke one of the shock shafts.

I hinking of building a very protective front bumper, one that extends foward and protects also the tires.

When I do it, I'll post pictures.

Take care you all.

ZEUS.
Congrats on your purchase, remember that if you build a super strong bumber, it's the rest of the chassis that is going to take the impact and possibly break. The force has to go somewhere. If you extend it to cover the tires, make it somewhat flexible. What did you hit and how hard did you hit it to break the shock shaft?

Xc7,

I was really going slow, because I was breakig the engine in and I hit my garage door BUT I was turning it and the tire/wheel hit the door in an angle.

So, I gues the shaft was defective, week in some way, I don't know.

But I adapted two shcks from a different car and it's working just nice, BUT I'm not bashing it until I get the shocks replaced.
