Hey guys, I found this while surfing....
It was on Ebay and I guess it was a SEMA car. I think these is more of a "Mall Crawler" but man I have to say I love the stance. I personally would have done black under the flat fenders. I would ditch the FabTech RockCrawler system and go with the Teraflex 6" long arm system. Does not mention in the add about beefing up the axles. What do you guys think?

Just got off the phone with another local shop to re-gear both axles for $1800 and $300 extra to sleeve and weld c-gussets. That sounds pretty good to me but is that in line. My brother thinks the gearing seems high.

External sleeves do exist. They're made by rock slide engineering. I would run those on the bottom, a treks truss on top, and c gussets.
That rig looks like cobbled together shit IMO. The pinch seam would ruin the rear tires on anything but a trailer, the wheels belong on a slammed pickup truck, and the fender are going to chip the paint all to he'll as soon as there is gravel or sand on the road.
Don't paint your flares, once your tires are sticking out like you want the paint will be ruined in 50 miles.

Not sure of ur motive in replying to my post...I could not say anything or I can waste a lot of time sifting through what everyone has written to make sure I'm not saying it twice, but I guess being an asshole is easier for u than just reading it and going on about your business......its ppl like u that make me say to hell w this site...
