The slant might affect the weight balance a bit, raising the back would put more weight onto the front springs again. If it would be enough to make a difference, I don't know.. probably not.


It's a little hard to see in the pics but I think moving the mounts forward a bit would be a good idea.


Keep up the good work!

Yeah I think the plan is to try and get the rear under there tomorrow and see if it makes a difference or not. If also like to get the tires mounted but I'll have to see if time allows for that tomorrow.

Yeah they are just on hold in favor of the SAS for the time being. I'll get back to them once the SAS is finished for sure.

Just picked up a 5th H2 wheel so I have a matching spare. Cost me $40 and a 7 minute round trip drive to get it.

Holy crap man it's going to be tall. I take it motorized fold out steps will be the next mod to get in and out without sacrificing clearance?

Well luckily I'm 6'4" so I shouldn't have to much of a problem but my wife is only 5'4" so I made need to carry a 5 gallon bucket around so she can get in and out! I think it should level out and not look so tall once the back is raised up as well.
