I built the chassis with, rear susp-double triangulated 4-link with 17" air shocks, Front- 3-link with same airshocks, 119" wheelbase, full hydro steering, fuel cell, comp seats w/ harnesses, H1 millitary hummer double beadlock wheels(I just made rock rings for them), Mercedes Unimog portal axles locked front and rear, Fuel injected chevy 350, Sm465 4speed granny, NP205 t-case all 32spline HD, 42" TSL Swampers, Winches front and rear so I can suck down susp for vertical ledges/dropoffs, Full flat belly pan skid from engine pan to rear driveshaft. F350 Disk brake/ 8-lug conversion on axle.
