I started my 2nd scaler. Scored the truck as a ARTR from a member here. I started in early January but I decided I wasn't gonna make a thread until I had a good amount done. When I got the truck in had TLTs but I saw the Yotas under 1BJBs Ute and had to have to have set. Then I replaced the stampede trans with a R2HD mounted on Chino skid. Then I moved on to the OG body, I bobbed the bed 1 1/2" and did a drop bed. I still have to detail the bed, mount the steering servo and OG interior and lexan glass. I don't wanna get to ambitious and have this truck become a super long build, I wanna enjoy it. It'll never be finished, as my skill improves and money becomes available this truck will go trough many changes. Last edited by cutlaSS; 03-02-2010 at 01:22 PM. |

ALL my rigs are WIPs...til I sell them. I would love to use this as my "street" truck but I don't think the leafs could handle the abuse. Thanks for the compliments guys, I'll try my best to keep this build progressing.

Impatience got the best of me. Mounted the steering servo on the frame then I hooked up the rest on the electronics and took the truck onit's maiden run in front of my house. The suspension doesn't flex very well but I hope the springs need to be broken in. |
