Default Custom Shock towers

Well I scored a killer deal on some 12" Fox 2.0s for the front of my truck, BUT 12s up front on a Disco is TIGHT. I built a set of custom adjustable towers much like the RTE ones. Pretty straight forward and they came out great!

Honestly this was just way easier. I'm only $20 into these. I would rather have them outside coil but I wanted to do this on the cheap because I see coilovers in my future.

Wow $20, see this is why we build what we can it is so cheap when the labor is yours and it only cost material even better when materials are leftover from another project

That's why I just don't get the prices on some things like 12-1600 for a roof rack made with about $150 +/- in material, that's a lot of labor cost holy cow
