Runs pretty good and buttoned up electrical wise.  got most of the tins back on  and just need to do some zip tie work and add fuel before some testing.

I like the way I did it Saturday better.

With those other ratchets, it can be done the way it was before without worries about tire damage...

we didnt make it very far with a broken knuckle.  disappointing.  Working on partial sponsorship with Sold Axle Industries for a pair of solid arms / knuckles.
