Pretty wimpy looking panhard...show trucks 
The 80's called. They want their quad steering stabilizers back. 
And the shocks ... oh, the shocks... 
The worst part is I'm, I donno, say ten minutes from this guy ... I'm almost tempted to go look, just to break down laughing...

"Must Sell ASAP"........his friends must've seen him driving it one day and he's gotta ditch it to save face.
You know, I would love to drive that thing just to see how it rides and drives.
A lot of thought went into building that, maybe not good thoughts, but it was definitely planned.
And the work looks clean.
But more than anything else, I would like to get under it and examine it better. There has to be something I don't see.
For example, I see the ladder bars going from the rear axle forward to the frame. No problem there.
But, don't I see two rigid bars going from the rear axle to the frame to the rear??
Its 2 in the morning, so I am a little fuzzy, but those bars are not in the same plane as the axle like the radius bars on a front coil setup, so the distance between the ends has to change as the axle moves up and down.
Which means with just the front bars, the axle would move back and forth as the suspension flexed.
Which brings in the rear bars which will not let it move back..............Sump'uns gotta give........
Dremu, you gotta step up and take one for the team.
Go over and drive that sucker around the block and give us a report. More pics would be nice, but the driving report is what we really want..........

I was thinking that the rear bars are tied to shackles.

even if they are... that's not going to move but front to back... this guy should google "suspension"
The guy's too embarassed to list a price in the ad, wonder why.
