    Wow



    I really do like your design... but with the economy, make one that costs like 12-15k...
    Or an electric one... yeah
    We sit together, my VX and I, until only the VX remains.

    Ok, that is cool as long as you lift it with the 912s and put some 1-2" spacers on top of the springs, crank the torsion bars drop the diff and slap some 20" green rims with some 33x12.5 tires under there, then you will be ready for the martian travels.

    Well, im thinking of going a different route with the suspension. I want to replace the torshions with coilovers in the front. Rancho makes a sick new setup that allows you to adjust the suspension on the fly. I can get a good deal with them and for under 1200 bucks and I do some fab work I can have near troughy truck style setup. It takes a few to load up so be patiant.
