This coming along clean. I kick myself for not picking up more of these bodies at the LHS, when they were blowing them out for $5 about 2 years ago............ughhhhh.

Thanks! Wish I would have done the same! Now they go for a premium! Oh well, always looking for more.

Thanks Pat! It is one of my favorites! It's a blast to drive too!

Got some time to do some more work. Fastened the wheel wells down and painted the bed. Looks much better I think.
Also threw a little bumper on the front.
It's been around for a while on a couple or three other builds. Nice and simple, just need to mount the fair lead and the servo winch.

Excellent job Shon! The drop bed looks fantastic

You need to build a scale R2J Kustoms shop for it to sit outside of...it's a perfect "Shop Truck".

Yep, and a few others too. I'll be running the EB for the scale comp though.

Finally made some time to take the shop truck out for a little driving and get some outdoor action shots. Went out to the lake by my house and messed around a bit. It's nothing spectacular, but it will do.

Looks good clean...looks even BETTER dirty!!! My Sasquatch was alot of fun even tho it was nothin special, almost seems more fun to run a good lookin rig that you dont wanna beat up to bad. Forces you to slow down, be smart and actually drive the rig rather than punch it and hope it makes it My new Bronco will be that way, hopefully itll teach me how to drive and pick lines better.

It is more fun when it gets dirty! After the first few scratches I don't worry much any more and then drive the piss out of it. But I do agree that I tend to find the best line when it's new opposed to just stompin threw it.

Can't wait to see your Bronco.

Those are HPI RS4 touring shocks I picked up on the LHS's bargain rack for 50% off. Set up works good with the stock shocks still in the front.

I really like them! I'm still running the stock foam for now and 3oz. of weight in each front, with no weight in the rear. Here soon I'm going to add another 3oz. all the way around and do some experimenting with foams. As with most tires, breaking them in is very key to how them perform. I know they get even better as they break in. Plus I've ran Rok Lox for some time now and basically the IROKS are the same tire but with more detail.

Thank you sir! This is by far my favorite rig, so much so that is the only one that is running right now out of the fleet of five. It's a blast to drive!
