He does. If you look closely it is a spring that drops down at the rear to give more flex.

putting on my killjoy hat again over that pic and the unrestrained kid. I know the cars not moving right now but it was a short time after the pic was taken.
We all know there was no real risk in that picture but anti 4wd types read these forums looking for ammo We cant afford to give them any
