I like the shock tower. Totally different and grown on me once it's on there. :D

That's looking great. So no shims were needed for that rear tower? 8)

I hadn't really noticed before, but I really like the chassis color.

it should have one. i need to measure it up to see what thickness it'll have to be. just eyeballing it, might be around .015.

just so everyone knows what we're talking about.....

the rear tower on a t2 is 1/8" thick. it gets sandwiched between the bulkhead and the trans case at the bottom. the cf is slightly thinner than the fiberglass tower, so a shim is needed to take up the space.

do you think its a bad twilight zone episode for team associated to be re producing a buggy from yesteryear that is capable of beating their latest and greatest production buggy?
