Damn Lance, I gotta say I wish I had your talent! Question, should I box in my rear lower a-arms ( original) and hope for the best?

The engine jig is genius. How many you planning to build?

Box them, no question.  There's some pictures towards the end of Samantha's build thread of what I did on the old style arms.  After that there haven't been any problems.  Or you could just chuck those old style ones and use the new design.


As soon as this one makes it to the desert I will be starting serial number two.  How many am I planning on building....All I can say is more.

Yeah right, this shoestring budget and crackerjack toolbox doesn't come with chuck em' and start over options. Especially after I paid Doug for all my a-arms. I plan to get my money's worth and replace/rebuild as necessary.

I sure wish I had your budget moneybags!  rofl

Keep in mind where Lance rides... very punishing terrain!!! Better to over build them than wreck them and have to start over. I have only damaged A-arms in situations where contact with nature have been present  ;D

I've done a lot of dirt biking in SoCal and it isn't much different than the high deserts of New Mexico where I'll be playing. If nothing else it may be rougher here.

Something tells me I'll be building a-arms at some point.

I've been to New Mexico also.  You'll need arms it's just a matter of time.  You could drive like an old lady and make them last but what fun is that..........
Exactly!

I've broken so much sh-t lately I'm ready for a different kind of break..................

Right on Lance! I get new ideas everytime I look at your progress. Didn't want to go center stick for the shifter? I'm thinking I'll have a hard time adapting to left hand shifting. I may go right hand and do a linkage like you did.
