SOA shakedown run pics

Here's some pics from the SOA shakedown run. Milleville Canyon, Milleville, UT. Not too bad of a trail, but wanted to take it kinda easy--just in case. Went really well. Two things to mention: 1: a rig without shocks is REALLY bouncy; and 2: a rig without shocks and without shackles and u-bolts tightened up is REALLY, REALLY more bouncy.

:P :-X :-\

looks great man. i like the new avatar. where did you mount it?

Still haven't measured for shocks. Been kinda busy with school and other crap since the SOA was completed. But, I did install the front shock towers (ford ones) so I'm ready to take the measurements. It looks as though the front ones need to be pretty long. Rears can be a little shorter.

Actually haven't finished wiring up the lockers and haven't put the switch in yet, but here's a chop of where I am going to mount it.
