Looking good man!!! I'm liken the four link set up, looks nice clean work. I must of been mistaken, i was thinkin they ran alot of the 502's, Maybe i'm thinkin of coleworx.. Maybe you said it, and i didn't read it, but you building the propane set up, or is it a kit from somewhere?-Chris

Are the motor mounts hard mounted?

sure you have enough vertical seperation on the frame end? looks like its going to want to lift under throttle? on 2nd look, maybe it is just the camera angle?

hard to tell with the camera angle id say...

im wondering about the upper heims mounted sideways...?

paint vs powdercoat i think depends on how hard you beat it... if you really plan on tearing it up on your side in the rocks id def stay away from powdercoat. harder to touchup, scrapes off with a divot, ect...

either way, looks good. if welds are pretty, i like the clearcoat idea.:)

positive, 4inches verticle on frame end 9 on front axle. got heims sideways off Jimmy Penner of Eor. clearcoat i think look good, welds are slick! as long as i dont f them up!!

that's teh same as i'm running, and it works great. definitely the camera angle. it looked like they were mounted on the same plane or with maybe an inch.
