It does still have air and heat. It has hydro steering that takes a bit getting used to, but after you are, it handles great. Absolutely no wobble in the wheel at highway speeds.

Full hydro? What does it mean "getting used to" in that regard?

Edit: I did checked the pictures, so the first question is obsolete. However I have another one: How have you solved front axle? Some kind of tri-link, Watts?

triangulated 4 link doesn't need a watts link or panhard to keep it centered.

Thanks, but for the front we went with a 3-link and a trackbar.

No worries - thanks for trying to help out. I'm not able to log into the forum as much as I'd like.
