In the interests of science and laughing at others!

How many have done things like this?

Had a friend that had an old ford fairlane. He put on mickey thompson 50 series tires. In order to fit, the shocks could not compress at all. He jacked the car up and hammered the shock shrouds in. This worked for about 30 minutes before some nice rubbing started! :D

I knew a fellow wheeler who broke some leaves in his rear leafpack.

He welded in some thick solid rod where the shocks had been to get it off the trail.

It worked for about 10 feet when he snapped off the tabs on the axle.

I especially like the pringles intake tubing picture!!
