Awesome build!
Where can I get that bolt-on tie rod mount for the hydro assist ram?
I need one of those!

That thing is retarded, and the whole build is stupid. I think you guys should just let me come take it off your hands 
That thing is pretty damn sweet though on a serious note.

Updates? Please, please?
Very cool. 
I see a rear sway bar, but no front. That may be a bad idea at medium and high speeds. Perhaps it just isn't installed yet?

this build brings new meaning to no expense spared. I literally cant find a single thing you went cheap on (except the winch) 
just givin you ****. Honestly though this build is amazing is it for competitive purposes or recreational?

we'll see how the winches work out. they price difference was huge and I've heard good things about these models.
it's definitely going to be recreational - at first anyway. there are tons of excellent trails within an hour of my house so it should see a lot of use. would need an LS motor with more hp to get competitive. we'll see..
This build is looking great. Now that Shaffers has moved into my neck of the woods in Oakland (20 minutes away from me) I might have to go check it out in person.
It's being finished at Shaffer's old shop in Carson City. The guy that did the fab work from the beginning has taken over the space.

Very cool build. But I gotta ask...
How much is this costing you?
How much is this costing you?
If you gotta ask, you can't afford it
I'm guessing about 20K in it at this point?
if so, Shaffer wont be in biz long...... it's gotta be a fair amount more than that in labor alone...... even at $50 an hr, thats only 400 hrs....
very cool build, but it should be, it's a pro shop...
