| Opedopys Tundra Truggy
I've been building this truggy and wanted to show it off Specs: Custom chassis w/tube bed tlt axles Axial tranny not sure about wheels/tires or electronics now Spare tire holder This is how far I got before I ran out of silv! So I'm gonna get the axles hung and get the suspension all worked out in the meantime. |

Looks like a great start. I like how you followed the contours of the cab with the main hoop. |

Thanks guys My basement workshop flooded so I set up shop in my buddy's garage. Well I got the bed done, I think. Not sure if I should put a support from the rock rails up to the bed. What do you guys think? Here you can see the nuts brazed in so I can screw in a styrene panel. There will be one on for the bed floor too. I want to make a bumper that hides the winch similar to this one. |
