[QUOTE="Rock Ape, post: 702421, member: 14078"] I can probably offer ya some help here..... its ok to rotate the mount out a bit on the axle to make sure it will clear....or you can put longer links in and stretch the wheelbase to accomplish the same thing. Now as far as the way it should be setup on this rig is the panhard rod should be totally flat with 7" of shock showing(if you are running 14" travel shocks it was designed to have). This chassis has some Ian mods that created issues the originals didn't have( :gay: go figure....? ) he made the side tubes in the rear pinch too close creating the issue of the shocks contacting the main chassis rails, the originals are spaced wider making the shocks have more clearance at the chassis. Same issue in the front...... I suspect those two issues are the reason he never finished it. The minute the show aired I was on him telling him he was gonna have serious issues with shock clearance. I built this black one into a roller and he wanted it narrower in the back and it also created a need to space the shocks out to clear the main rails....(zebaru's pics are gone on pirate this link was the only one you can kinda see in the pics the modded rear shock mounts to space them out properly. ) [url=http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/vehicles-trailers-sale/2190337-single-seat-buggy-lo-budget-pimpin-v2.html]http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/vehicles-trailers-sale/2190337-single-seat-buggy-lo-budget-pimpin-v2.html[/url] Hopefully this offers some help to ya...... these are super capable rigs....only complaint is no front dig other than that most peoples driving finds the limit before you find something it wont do...... sans you don't try to drive it like a bouncer!!!
