Default Scrappy

I scratched my idea of using my narrowed WK axles on my rock racer cause the were just begging to be put under a body. With the pumpkin offset on the front axle it just looked too good put under the chassis I had started. I started digging around and found a frame and the rest of the parts needed to make a complete runner, all from SCRAPS I had in my work room. I have had all of this stuff up for sale before for decent prices and had no takers, so I SCRAPPED this together.

The body is hinged to the frame in the rear and the front has a pin that springs into place through a hole in the body. Has a tekin rebel II speedo, 27t motor(all I had, remember, scraps), pede tranny, 6cell batt, rock stompers with hummer wheels, etc.

I am gonna make some rock sliders, rear bumper, and a rear tire carrier when I get some brakeline in.

The trailer has a working front jack with wheel, tire rack, ramps that slide in and out underneath the bed, and wood floor. Gonna add lights and maybe a winch to it later. Oh yeah, the trailer is made outta scraps too

I will make you one after I finish my next project or I will give you that one. I think the lower tube should be a lil bigger, but that was all I had.

still gets a touch of sag;) It was the WK link mount that came loose letting it droop so much.
