went to mikes yesterday and the scaler took a swim in the water everything still runs, nothing shorted. i finished up the rock sliders and made a chassis for a friend. i think it turned out pretty good |

finished the bumper and wound the sinch with some steel cable from the craft store. i put the winch behind the grille and cut it out a little so i can get a better approach angle. i still want to do an interior and a rollcage inside i know the bumper looks a little bent, i dropped it and didnt notice untill it was already painted. |

Looks like an awesome rig you got goin!!! Looks like its not only very capable, but flexes like crazy, ESPECIALLY for a leaf suspension and it seems to sidehill like a champ!!! I like it Matt |

Thanks, glad you like it i finished up the body, painted it a metallic blue with several coats of clear afterward. the pictures show it to be a brighter blue but is a little darker in person. painted up the tail lights and blinkers, aswell as the door trim and handles. id say i have about 10 hours sanding/priming/sanding again... what a pain heres some pictures. i will try and get some better ones soon. | |

Good to see another guy my age on the forum Awesome looking rig. I really like the color. How do you like those rock stompers? I have been looking into those and I like the way they look |
