    Here is a pic of the fresh primer job and drop kit in the rear shaved the side mirrors. Havnt done the front yet going to crank the torsion bars down till i get spindles, I put a front valance on and bucket seats in from a 88 toyota camper truck. By the way I got for free!!! still need to redo the passenger seat and get carpet and a new windshield..lol long story there. but let me know what you think

    . . . Oh Ive so gotta find that article from minitrucking a few months back! It sums up about everything except of course personal preference. Me, myself I run a CANDOspecialties 4 link configured in the reverse setup, I love it, lots of lift and tons of fun, BUT, some guys will disagree with me and thats okay because theres alot to a suspension than just what you should do, sometimes its about what you shouldnt do, otherwise " Would we really have customs ? ? ? ". . . If anyone can archive that article post er up . . .

    go to the forums at twistedminis.com. pm seth and see if he can give you the info on how he runs his lines. it's by far the best way i've ever seen.
