Im a huge fan of the diesel and the half cab!! my only concern is how high the body looks. is it possible to build with almost no up travel and as low as possible? I like the mogs..but every time I see them used on a EB..the rigs look tall. Great job on a well rounded rig, removable exo,custom cab,4bt,bla bla bla....congrats on an excellent creation,Chuck

That's a cool rig. I just hope that engine doesn't give you the same kinda fits it did the mechanics from the bread company. lol

It really handles quite well in the road, as long as you have a little extra pressure in the bump-stops, max speed is 50mph now since we are using a Atlas instead of the O/D STaK. At 55mph there are no control issues at all (comfortable one-handed driving). When we had the STaK case in it I had it up to about 70mph, not sure I would do that again...........

Yes, it is taller than I would like it to be, the Mogs are the problem, not sure that I would use them again. Sorry I never did the calculations on the front, that was a change that was made after our first run. We had long radius arms that limited the flex.

We will be at the Un-event, but that is the only real event that we have on the scedule.
We will be in Tillamook, Coos Bay, maybe the Rubicon again but not events, just playing.

We will make a couple of the local Salem cruise-ins to.

I'm in Stayton, maybe I'll catch you at a Cruise-In if I get the cobwebs blown off mine.
