I had one for a short time. Once I got it cleaned up I realized that the flat aluminum chassis was too flexy and overall not a good match for the 4wd kit so I put it on a regular tub and sold the sassy plate.

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my stash, I didn't know they came in blue either until Brian told me he had one.

and if I would have taken it out of the cloudy bag and seen how nice the blue was..........I would still have it
But I am happy that Dave has it, he does some killer high quality builds and is a great guy to trade parts with.
Still think that you should go with gold shocks
