here are some articulation pics!

got the upper one tacked together slipped the wheel on and took some pictures before i take it down and finish welding it

katoranger · 08-18-2012, 09:14 PM

What will you be using for suspension?

Wild_Alaskan · 08-19-2012, 01:22 AM

for the front I will be using the shocks in the picture on the last page. 14" eye to eye, hopefully stiff enough to support over a foot of travel.

Weldangrind · 08-19-2012, 01:10 PM

That looks like nearly the entire diameter of the wheel in travel! Awesome!

Wild_Alaskan · 08-19-2012, 02:14 PM

You need suspension travel if you are going to catch big air!

Nice job, WA.
