Thanks Chris. Agreed it was a great day just wheeling around.

I have to say this though, all the pictures you have posted of Clampy absolutley doesnt do this truck justice. Clampy is an absolute spot on, its just amazing seeing everything infront of you.

Seeing the Chino Clone was Awesome. Since I got into RCs Ive always loved Bruisers and to see something that holds all that history of Crawling was great.

The Willy's ..... what can I say. The styrene work, the paint, the detail ... you cant even see a glue smudge on any of the joints. Its just incredible to see something you know started as flat pieces of material.

Cant wait to see everyone again.

Chris thanks, it was awesome to wheel with soo many top notch rigs; like Robbob said, the pictures dont even come close to doing justice to any of your rigs.... especially the uber detailed Clampy

prusik333 · 10-02-2009, 06:56 PM

Man! that looks like a blast to roll with soo many sweet rigs, very nice

toy4crawlin · 10-19-2009, 06:29 PM

thats a mint job, sweet.

Where is the Bruiser forum ?

I need to strip the paint

steve03609 · 10-20-2009, 06:01 AM

That was a fun day, can't wait till next trip, too bad last one planned got rained out
Was great to have pics with some of the famous scalers, I feel spoiled that I have been able to see some of Chris's and Robbob's scalers up close and even been able to crawl with them, someday maybe I will have a build as nice as theirs,(so who's selling me one)

fred williams · 10-20-2009, 04:49 PM

That's Awesome!

I wish I could get the real Clampy and Fun buggy out on the trail at the same time.

mudkitten · 10-20-2009, 04:54 PM

I know. Ill drive clampy and you'll drive the buggy. Fixed!

Yes- AGREED..!!!

Still got alot of work to do before "Fred" is ready to be bucked in for the final time, more to follow soon...

Jester666 · 11-09-2009, 08:58 PM

Look at you go Chris. Make Fred proud( AGAIN)

EXCALIBER 4X4 · 11-09-2009, 09:08 PM

Love your truck, hopefully building something similar in the future

btw, I used magnets secured in the drivers rear-end, and secured magnets underneath the seats to hold my drivers in.... I know its not exactly a harness, but it makes it so much easyer to remove the drivers!

drzjohn · 11-09-2009, 11:37 PM

Fred will finish the job off

Nice work

Jim511 · 12-02-2009, 10:19 AM

I've been away from the rc scene since january due to buying a real 1:1 car and the other day was referred to this thread for rear leaf mounts for the bruiser chassis and tlt axles. Holy hell man you are a maniac! this rig is absolutely beautiful and looking at this build and going over Mike's writeup on the chino clone has really inspired me to get back into the game and really take my time and finish my rig off the right way and as scale as possible. So thanks for that! I went to my LHS last night and you should've seen the kids face behind the counter when I walked up with a huge armful of styrene haha. Keep the pics comin man! Whats next? More for this truck or new project? Also how close are you to Winchester or Arlington MA? My girlfriend lives up there so maybe next summer or this winter if you guys have get togethers I can come up and join and check these badass rigs out!

bmx_ican92 · 01-02-2010, 01:03 AM

team3six · 01-02-2010, 01:12 AM

Hmmm somebody got my RC mag idea.

that truck is sick. One of my favorites for sure.

I wish I had that much patience in my builds. One day, one day

Tamiya Hummer · 01-09-2010, 03:07 PM

Being a avid reader of Petersons and the owner of all the UA dvds your builds are amazing....inspired me

after my T.E. maxx is done i would love to do a UA Jeep Commander (i have a lifted commander)

awesome work..

P.S. wheres Fred?

51WillysJeep · 01-09-2010, 07:48 PM

Hey Guys - Thanks for all the great comments..!

"Fred" has been put temporarily on the back burner ( for now) until I get the new shop up and going.. ( just bought a new house and everythings a mess in the basement.... aka the "shop" :?. ) NOT to worry though, Fred will be in the drivers seat before Clampy goes wheelin' again..!
