This truck was one build that inspired me to make my Jeep Brute Orange Crusher with a tube bed.

Thanks Jeepin-Paul!!! Your Brute looks great.
I want to get some video soon. But I wanted to let guys know when I got the rc4wd shocks I was pretty unimpressed, I'd anticipated it and on another post(can't remember which one, but some one else messed with drilling out the holes in the pistons and I think he modded the spacer in the cap). Stock they leaked with out even being used. I played with some different o-ring combinations and I drilled bigger holes in the pistons. You need a real small hobby drill bit and have to drill by hand, careful not to blow the side of the piston out. I ended up using three o-rings in the bottom cap along with the spacer the shocks came with. I used 1 stock o-ring, then a black rubber one from mcmastercarr (http://www.mcmaster.com/#9262k133/=d56ewf), then the spacer, and finally a silicone one from mcmastercarr(http://www.mcmaster.com/#9396k63/=d56ecq). And after running it pretty roughly they still do not leak. I've got 25wt oil in them and I'm running a little over 11lbs. and I really like they way the act, so far. I did put different o-rings at the top cap but I can't remember what size. Definitly tighter that the stock which allows me to tighten the top a bit better. The original o-rings would just squish and distort.
And actually I'm hoping I posted links to the right o-rings I used, I bought a bunch metric and standard just to work it out.
Either way I'm very happy I got them to work pretty good, I love the look.
And I hope this helps somebody else out.

Well since I stole the axles off my yota, I still wanted captured springs.
So I roughed up some mounts I thought I'd share.
