thats correct, much stronger and durable when you build your own rig, you does know exactly what will go wrong and exactly what to make tougher.........

seeing alot more on the roads now.....

did some brake overhaul this weekend, caliper kit was a pain to find, but got it at ESAS, have to replace the booster now....
