Off to a great looking start, can't wait to see more. You say Axial axles and that is what is in the first pic, where did you get the new axle cases that allow for the pass through of the center axle?

Made some progress on the body. Still have a lot to do like adding fuel tanks, the main winch, interior, lights, etc. I'm happy with the way the orange turned out. Had to drive it around a bit and snapped a couple shots.    |

Great job! How does it perform? Is the cab heavy? I found I had to add quite a bit of weight to my tires to get it to side hill decently. Orange is good. Looks very aggressive with those tires. Drunk |

Performs great, I'll get some video up soon. No issues side hilling, there will eventually be a little more weight when the interior is put in. I may need to add some weight to the front wheels if it starts getting tipsy. | |
