-No more cracking on the fenders...
-Body won't open up like "pac-man" at high speed...
-Truck won't sound like a trash bag of spare lexan hitting the ground after jumps!
-Can push down on the roof with no body flex.. feels like it has a roll cage!
Anyways thought i'd share the idea... i thought it would look kind of "hack" but acctually does'nt look to bad either
Thats a great idea. Now that you mention it, my old touring cars had an extra body mount about there but only in the center. How bout a pic with the body on please.
