Evolution/ BNS-4Link JayLuke's Truggy

Some of you know me. Most of you know my 92 Toyota 4x4 "Truggy" although I hate that term. This "truck" was built a couple years ago by myself and my good friends of BNS-FAB. It has worked extremely well over those few years and I have been very happy with it. I have represented leaf sprung rigs to the extreme. But It's time for change. Evolving into a more durable lighter vehicle. So I linked it. With the help of Keith, my good friend of BNS-FAB of course. The man is an artist...The links are BUNK Built...Clark W did a superb job on the rear truss and hooked me up with a great deal on the rear winch. Thank you!...Front end will be linked after this summer...couple pics & more to come. These first few are off my cell. so bare with me.

haha! that stoppie was CRAZY! HAha! hadn't thought about that one for a while..I have zero doubt your rig will have any trouble bud. Seriously. That's never a problem for you.

the cell pics just don't do it justice. Left the digi-cam at work. And I have lot's more to post. Should be done tomorrow late afternoon early eve. It was/is a lot of work...I mean a lot!

side note: good thong I am doing this. Was one small bump from losing the entire fuel tank out the back:eeek:

Also I am moving my hyro ram to mount in between my leaf spring to correct the "issues" I was having with up travel, bump stop interference, and stripped out tie rod jam nuts- Thanks Dobber for the idea:awesomework:

He's got some jonny's for the lowers and some 3/4 heims for the uppers. Nothing like your way over the top link set-up.
