Looks great, I like what you've done with it man[sm=thumbup.gif]. All you need now is an IRC chassis...[8D]

Truck looks great...

How do you have your rear tie rod turnbuckles connected? I see you have them on the front of the diff instead of the rear. Any particular reason why? Rear steering maybe?

Thats part of the LST shock conversion, no room for TBs in the rear with those monsters.

correct sir [8D]

you COULD put the shck in front of the shock tower, thats the easy way out, but no i think the truck looks awkward so i took my time and assembled everything correctly

oddly enough with a truck with soo many upgrades you're still running a AM radio, unless the 2pl is for a different truck...

From the view over here, it looks like the only thing that's tiny is your self esteem if all you can do is trash-talk somebody else's truck.

If you don't like the Aftershock shocks, fine...don't buy them...but it ain't your ride home, so don't worry about it.

TBJ, lol man don't waste your time with MMA. Remember, his stock F4.6 does 48mph! He has owned the LRP and ran Losi shocks so he knows everything. I bought Losis for my truck, but decided they were too heavy and went for the racing look. TBJ gladly took them off my hands, and I see he has followed suit.
Gangstar- Head on up to NY and give me a proper drag race[8D].

My truck is not stock...
I have ran the LST2 shocks on my truck and bent both front ones on a bad landing...the stockers have never bent in the torture I'v put them through.
I bashed with a Savage that had an LRP, and It was slow off the line, and had a slower top-end...i don't know if it was a bad tune or bade motor/pipe combo or what, but it got whooped.
