The front horns are plated but stop after the steering box. Debating if it's worth it to box it or just do a tube front end
It works good, I don't drive it much but the steering is pretty responsive and drives good. Before I was on crossover and high steer but I couldn't keep it with the new suspension.
I'm almost ready to go full buggy with it. Debating full hydro steering too and an ls w/ speed swap

Keep the K5 skins
I'd like to keep it steerable too

I figured that’s what your meantand being a presmog I agree.
Haha.
And I know what everyone says about full hydro on the street
Full hydro on the street is much better than years ago. There is a return to center and road feed back system. Just have to pay for it.
I think it’s fine, It’s just kinda weird because it didn’t return to center.
My biggest issue was driving at 75mph and have a line break. Would have been a really bad day.
That’s scary.
That's why DOT requires a mechanical link.
Was the line damaged at all?
I keep looking at that Ibex 4 seaters, and JHF has a 4 seater coming out. TMR and bomber also make good kits, but only 2 seaters. Be cool if Randy did make a 4 seater bomber.
Never happened. Was always on my mind as I drove. I was anal about going through looking for rubbing before I drove it.
@MNorby's ibex is bad ass! A buggy would be sweet but is way out of my skills and I'm not over the k5 fever yet.
True, I'm in the market for a trailer for the k5. Where we live right now is about 2 hours to any wheeling and I don't really care to drive it that far anymore. 2 hours would be to a smaller ohv park as well. Rubicon, Fordyce, High Lakes are all 3+ hours away
