Well that certainly looks better

Tablet mounted

New shiftgate and boot mod installed

Next up is frame stiffener and skid plate. Then onto a Warhead Offroad cage.$$$$$

Why do you need a frame stiffener?

 

[Jaredk]

That’s a good question. Do I? Is there any value added? I figured I was going to slap it on there while the skid plate was off

Both the Talon and the Pioneer frame stiffener do help the lower a-arm mounts.
However, it is the uppers that need it.
That's what most people rip off first.

Thank you. I guess I’ll save that money then

RaceCo has some A-arm braces that help brace the upper and lower arm mounts.
This picture also has the upper shock tower brace.

Is there an AM for that as well?
NM, just saw the Tech’s post…

@Lil_Steve Interesting reinforcements, did you add the frame stiffener? (I haven't)

Someone should have told me that before I put one on my race car..... 😆

I ran the SATV frame stiffener on my car all last year along with the Raceco shock tower brace and I think those pieces had alot to do with why my frame/A arm mounts were not bent when I crashed hard at the end of last season.....

I did. The RaceCo stuff is on the radar but too many irons in the fire right now.
