Looks real nece Lance.  You ever sleep?   You did a supper job on the jeep. 

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Loving all of it but that upper front arm. Everything ,and I mean everything, about the build is first rate but I gotta say I really don't like that arm. Looks like trouble brewing to me. Sorry.

Well,crap. I have to add that ,IMO,that's a lot of camber change also. Are you sure about that? Just looking for insight as to why I guess.

 I just checked. My CAD for the new car shows a 2 degree camber change over 26" front travel.

 BTW,keep up the great work! I'm loving it!

It's part of the original geometry.  Picture the buggy turning hard and compressing that side of the suspension.  Exactly what you want to happen is what you see.  The tire stays perpendicular to the surface of the "road".  The design works amazing.  I've never felt the single seater even begin to lean or tip with even the most extreme driver input at speed.

Ummm,OK and OK. I agree with the light loading of the upper arms but ............................time will tell if my concerns are valid when it takes to the desert.
