New look

That looks fast!....nimble?, what have you got for shocks/springs?

After I changed the diff/pinions, I thought I should rebuild the shocks, turns out 2 had stripped upper spring retainers...so now I'm running on 4, also that's a ofna 086 pipe combo.

I'd take a group shot but the other savages are in the C-CAN I rented for my furniture...I'm renovating my house:angry:

Crap sorry to hear for the upper spring retainers, that sucks...hows that ofna pipe treating you??
And Bah its not the fastest savage but fast enough for me, Has a lot of torque and handles awesome in long stretch as well as in tight corners, slaloms and stuff...and as for the shocks...lol I call it the ziptie problemfixer...

U can see the zipties holdin on from the a-arms to the shock tower. stock shocks with medium-firm springs I got off ebay awhile ago. 4 for the rear and 2 in front...With enough resistance and just enough travel...keeps the ride nice and low and easy to handle those little nasty corners coming out of a long stretch...I love that Savage. Not the greatest Savage out there but good enough for me :)

And psst btw...nice Savage! :dancingpoop:

My x ss

image.webp here's my savage. Just bought it used. 5.9 is out as I had to replace shattered conrod. All good now. Was told its an x ss. No idea what year etc but I'll turn it into something good! Body shell on the way as well as motor saver filter. Lowered it down by removing the spacers and that's it for now
 
It's a start!

:DI'm a long way from done but here's one for the wall.:D
Right now I'm in the mock up phase.
I plan on ordering some more anodized blue items.
