not fixed yet, but i'm finally working on it.  the past couple months have been a bitch at work.  12 hour days 6 and 7 days a week.  everything should be back to normal now so it's all about the weather.  pulled some of the broken parts out today and need to look into the price of a sheet of 1/4" and some tubeing, and and some new joints, looking at a 3 link long arm setup, and a new skid.

for not having any upper control arms it still moved pretty good, managed to drive it back to camp, up on the trailer, and in and out of the garage a few times.  i think i was more ticked that it took out my air line when it snapped the uppers.

just an air line would have been great, and the way it broke it's an easy fix.  i could have had it fixed on the trail, but those upper control arms are a different story.

managed to get it mostly torn down last night, just trying to decide how i'm going to re-build it.  would like to get it back to a road wothy state, but want to make it more trail worthy at the same time.  looking at a long arm setup like claytons.

Will's home made L/A's work great, maybe he could give you a few measurements and/or pictures. {toast} You got a week and a half to get it done before MM ride, time to get jiggy with it.
