Good lord what did they do to that driveshaft? It looks like they made their own hydraulic steering out of an old axle tube too...

I hear that it's the way of the future. All the new show trucks are going to an 8 link system.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

At least it's dual-triangulated. Love the rack and pinion steering.
