haha! holy shit! yeah yours is the one i was actually talking about copying! i just couldn't remember who built it. i was gonna do the cage the same as you did by the seats too, except i started my dovetail right at the doors, so i had to wrap the cage around the seats and mount it in the middle. I think i'm gonna leave my windshield on mine though. yeah yours looked sick, i saved your images on my comp to use as a reference when i was dovetailing mine!
2. is there a manufacturer that makes high clearance "ambidextrous" knuckles? ... like one knuckle in the set has double ackerman arms that would allow me to at least run the tie rod in front of the axle but have the drag link mounted to the "double ackerman armed" knuckle behind the axle?
You're looking for these, ya?
Just like this, but swapped around....
Some other options.
Hope that helps some. He's got quite a few more options for you as well as CVD's and lockers. The lockers are bad ass as well as the CVD's.

Does the axle cycle to the side at all when compressed? If it does, remember, you'll need to mount the drag link from the servo to the passanger knuckle to eliminate it as much as possible. It will also help if the length of the drag link is the same as the length of the panhard bar and the angle from hole to hole is the same as the panhard bar. If the agnles are off, it'll cause bump steer and if you put the drag link to the drivers side knuckle, it'll also cause bump steer. Just a thought. I think you did a great job with it, it'll just make the mounting of the servo a challenge. But then again, you could always do a scale looking steering gearbox with pushrods to the remote mounted steering servo. It'd free up lots of room in the front and let you place the servo wherever you wanted.
Sure thing. Did you ever put your work out weights in the super swampers? Those are 1.9's, right?
