Well

Here is DesertMetal... DesertMetal 2.0, if you will. :brows: Probably about 85% complete. (this stage)

16" travel reservoir stiff valve shocks mounted through the floor to the cage in the rear. and the same shocks cept medium valve mounted through the engine bay to the 'engine cage' up front.
prothanes in the springs (depending how LOBH goes, these will becomes fox 2.0 2-3" stroke airbumps with a delrin striker plate)

springs are progressive f100 coils

m16 pintle mounting position on the cage cross bar

I have WJ arms installed to allow the tires room to turn on its current stance (not to mention WJ arms have an improved ovular bushing arrangement, and they are fulled tubed steel, as opposed to the lame stamped stock arms)

rear will see progressive energy suspension pieces, no airbumps out back.

stance will see a 4" overall widening.







Arms (oh yeah and thats also the amount of shock shaft showing at ride height)



Our little fun attachment: (yes thats a real AR15 with a spade grip)
