    Looks good, Art. When are we going to get a full build thread for this monster?

      Ha when I actually really get busy with it.
      Since my yellow baby is out of commission for a couple of weeks I have some time to tinker with this one.
      Really need to get busy with it though, since Fred is going wild with his baby. There is no way I will be able to keep up with the old man unless I come up with something drastic

        You would need to quit your job to keep up with Fred, he's a mad man. But the tinkering is looking good Art.

                    I see you speak a little French...

                    Looks good. Going 3 link with the upper on the passenger side. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out. Keep the pics coming. BTW, whats up with the Yellow beast?

                        Terralow had a fit, is being fixed under waranty.
                        Supposedly, they are coming out with a gear set that distributes the load better.I guess the problem they were having is that it did not load the 5 planetary gears equally so the bearings in one or 2 would fail, which is what happened to mine.
                        As far as my tinkering goes, it's a work in progress.
                        Upperlink on the right will be a bit tight with the exhaust, but makes for more room over the pumkin and better clearance with the lower radiator neck. straightening the front of the frame and lifting the grille should help a lot with clearance issues and make room for the steering. Still takes a big shoe horn and a fair amount of grease to stuff all this stuff in this small package

                          Have been playing with it some this week looks like I can get it so the front axle can travel 8" straight up and clear everything. Got enough room for the control arms which is working out pretty nicely. Still waiting on parts. Going to some more welding and cutting tomorrow

                              39.5 tires Kurt, Little wider than I like, but what the heck we will see how they work. Somewhere along the line will have to do a bit more cutting to fit this thing where I want it
