That rig has been around for years, it's not new. That's why I say all this. If you're a member of Pirate, then you know the saying - search. It's been covered dozens of times and the facts and testimonials are in there. I'm not going to dig through them to try to prove anyone wrong or act big. If you want the info, it's there.
I never said it was a bad idea. I simply reiterated what you will know if you search for the threads on PBB about this contraption. By the way, since you're on PBB, you should also know flex and articulation isn't everything.
Rock crawling is great, don't get me wrong. But the industry is going in a different direction and FAST. You're seeing coilovers and TTB setups all over the place now. A few years ago that was rare and mostly criticized. Then the big names started doing it and now it's everywhere.
Oh, and just because I'm young and just now getting around to my major doesn't mean I don't know how to build or design. I spent the last 4 years active duty USAF, so I didn't get the chance to get my education until now. I was 2W0, AMMO, and now I'm in the WA ANG as a 1C4, waiting for the schoolhouse. If I see you down range or in CONUS, I'll buy you a beer and we can go for hours about this rig.
