Wow !!!! Now that's a shock tower.....or is that a cell tower? J/k man:D What year motor are you looking for?

Are you doing just a motor swap or changing the cage up too?

Yes it is a tall shock tower. It didnt bother me much driving though except for the driver seat was a little bit too low.

I prefer a 07-08 but i bought the kit from weller for a 04-08, so anywhere in there will do. I contacted AzCourt about his awhile back, but now he wont respond. I have cash in hand.

I have found a few ads for motors only, but im a little worried im going to end up spending more and it being a pain in the a$$ to find the rest of the parts.

I dont plan to change the cage up, i really like the way the rhino sits and looks. I might have to modify a few things in the rear for the chain setup. Like everything, im sure it will lead into more changes

loking good :D id like to have the car sitting next to it :eek: haha:D
The 55 chevy neverending project you mean??? You can have it for the right price.:) I have had that project on hold for awhile, lost interest. One day I will finish it. Off road is a lot more fun than car shows IMO.

Post up a few pics of the car before you stripped it. please.
Before stripdown. I had just stripped it down,painted it, and put it back together. Went out on one trip, and decided on the r1. At least now i know how everything comes apart and can do it fast.
