The lifts are good, but why dont you do something besides just a lift for a change? It seems like all we see is lift after lift after lift. Mix it up a little bit, build and exoskeleton, new paint, something wild,

4x4s and street rods are pretty much all im into. i've thought about repainting some of them but honestly i'd rather focus on the the way my 4x4 functions as far flex and articulation. for example, i'm working on a street rod right now which has a decent paint job allready but i want to primer it, give it kind of that jesse james look if you know what i mean. i guess i'm just more into about the way something works rather then the way it looks. tube chasis is something i'd really like to focus on next, on a 4x4 of course or street rod i have not seen that done yet. another reason why i love doing 4x4s is because i dont see anyone doing them all see out there is imports and lowriders and imports and lowriders and imports and lowriders. ..thanx for the feedback

671 try looking at 4x4city.com. I know the owner of that site and all the work hes showed me has something done to it other than the lift. Take a few clues from him for juicing up your 4x4s.

As far as tube chassis, I have seen them on street rods. I have seen quite a few.

wassup gafoto, i know the owner as well we i get parts from him. that guy goes through more diecast cars& trucks then any body i know. his place is loaded with replacement parts from audio stuff to axles & tires. thats what i lack spare parts, would be nice though.
