Standing on her own for the first time ever. It will be short-lived. Wheel studs aren't long enough for these meaty Method wheels. Need ones 12-15mm longer. Clearance at full lock worked out!

Keep going! If you're fast enough I can pop buy in 3 months for a ride.

Looking good, dude! Tacos... you need more tacos to help make it run.

Re: Here We Go: Desert Dynamics Build ( Desert Dynamics Sucks )
Cerveza might help with all this cypherin'. Still messing with caster, camber and toe at midstroke and level. Caster 8+ for both. Good there. Camber at 2.5 and 2.4 (I may lower those with a half turn. Trying to determine if better to be slightly over or slightly under the 2 degree mark). Sitting on the ground now while I adjust toe in. Toe close to 1/8, but not perfect yet.

Re: Here We Go: Desert Dynamics Build ( Desert Dynamics Sucks )
Are you adjusting it at parked height or loaded ride height?

Mid stroke. Well, just shy of that actually. I understand 60/40 is about where you want ride height, so that's what I'm using when trying to dial it in. I understand I may be tweaking it more once built.

While I am sure you already allowed for it: just-in-case, don't forget to add the proper weight for fuel and passengers (et al) when setting things up. I've seen it done wrong a couple of times and it wasn't that easy to get the adjustments right after getting off on the wrong foot.

Have you considered a Subaru engine for your buggy?
