Thanks.

Yeah, I wanted to make some sliders for it before I left. But, not sure it'll happen now.

I gotta tell you, I had my doubts when you said you were going to use that body.
Now all I can say is how much I want it. The radiator and grill, the "sway bars", the fuel cap, you really added some sweet touches. The whole package is completely sick man.

Thanks boss.

Finally got the body mounted up, and electronics installed. I still need to tie some loose ends up, like hiding the rear body mount. But, I just took it out for a quick test run. I was really surprised at how capable it is.

Here's a couple poser shots and a couple action pics. No virgin run is complete without hitting a jump or two.

Thanks Norm.

The sway bar arms aren't connected to each other, they just move freely with the suspension.

I MUST CRY FOUL!!!!!

Since you ran out of the red links and continued to use the green you must forfeit this scaler to me as a penalty. haha


Looks great Brad, have a good time in Montana.

See you guys when you get back.

I really like this build, and the chassis. I want to use one on my Hilux, but have one question; where would the front leaf hangers go?

On the first and second hole, or on the second and third hole? Thanks.
