I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Haha yeah, it's not a chop. I knew if I didn't say something first someone would call chop on it though.

Seriously though, the amount of work that goes into these minitrucks to get them this low is unreal. Basically, he cut apart the body and took out a 4-and-a-quarter inch section and dropped the top part of the body over the bottom part and welded everything back up. On top of that, he four-linked the rear axle, hydraulics all around, C-notched the rear frame (to clear the axle), used drop spindles up front, relocated the steering 4 inches up (so it isn't in his lap), and fiberglassed over the welds in the firewall.
