|  Badd's saving Bob build
Back about 2 months go was a sad day for me . I found out Bob was going to the RC Crusher known as E-BAY . Bob's former life ..........   Then I found out he was getting parted out . So I stepped in and save what was left . It was painful to see him in this shape . So I have set out to build him better and stronger . Wait thats Steve never mind here are the specs . OG bruiser frame BOBBED :flipooff: Chino skid Jugg leafs in front with turned down tlt shocks RC4WD 90mm coil over in the rear (for now) OG bed BOBBED :flipooff: drop bed maybe OG seat/dash New Hilux cab (half doors maybe) Clear lexan glass Reign cab back G8 Flat Irons (1.9) Integy wheels with studs and lug mod . Pede shafts with metal yokes Sidewinder ESC / BEC TR/TX not sure yet Hitec 5645 steering servo Hitec 645 winch servo Juggster winch TLT Axles Axial trans. Bumpers & sliders by Mr. Mann I started of by stripping the old paint off the bumpers and slides . I got them repainted this afternoon . Here is a few pics to hold everyone over till I can get more pics and stuff done .    |

I can't believe he sold that truck after taking 3 years to build it. I call dibbs if you ever sell it.

Yesterday I working on getting the frontend slop free . It needed new bushings in the shackles . They where loose as ,well you know what I'm saying . I also worked on the rear links . As the rearend had more swang than Sally from the Valley . If you get my point . My next project will be to get the rear shocks working better . I did a e-clip and pistion mod to the one on my K-5 Blazer and they work great . | ||

This pic shows how bad the axle swang was . This is after the work on the links .  I also stopped by the Junk Yard and found a good hood and cowl . The hood was from a red Yota the got hit hard in the rear . The green cowl was from a roll over . lol    After a few to many beers I got some primer on the window seal .  A few flex shoots after getting the front springs and rear links fixed .    I might need to shorten the rear abit .  Last edited by Badd; 09-02-2009 at 03:49 PM. |
