Spring perches finally got here at about 4 today. I got them tacked into place and set it down on its own weight. I am sitting at 73" from the ground to roof. Not bad. Rear might need some more trimming. Bought a np231 with 4:1 for $750 as well. That should ship out Monday. Will get some pics up later tonight.

Thanks, Yeah that's the plan. The green one is to nice to tear up in the rocks so I figured I would build something that can get some rock rash. I'm going to put the green one up for sale as soon as the white one is done. Im poor from this build. :mrgreen:
