OK so I went to Jake's last week and picked up the TR flairs and a 3r winch When I was there I got some inspiration to do this A scale touch to my rear four-link:-P The mandatory flex shot So after getting some ideas I came up with another V&G custom part It isn't 100% scale but I want to protect my lights if I ever get the funds from the wife:-( Then I read up on some "home made" stuff Here are my renditions of "bungee" cords (from the girls hair drawer) and some unused lases for the "recover straps" Also you'll notice my recovery ramps from DMG. Then here is the front view. Thanks for looking, and as always let me know what you think |

| Clean electronics OK so I went to the "shack" and picked up two "project" boxes, one would not be tall enough so I cut the top and bottom out of one and "glued" the other parts to it to water proof the heart of the rig Here is an over all pict. and now a up close shot I used good ol liquid electrical tape to seal in all my electronic goodies. It ran a little but it set up quick and I think I have a good seal. It better I have a lot of $$$ in there LOL. Now to seal the back of my 18.5 with the stuff and I can go mudding in the creek More to come as I continue to build it up... they are never "done" |
