thanks man. i have had these tires a few days now, it was getting to me.
i had to see what they looked like.
plus it fits the whole theme here...

good cop / bad cop.
RC4WD two face 1.9 tires.
GET SOME !!!!

progress

i tore it back down and was up a bit late last night.
i added a couple more tubes. nothing outlandish or loud.
i want to put a tail light/ tow point back there, and there was nothing to help protect it.

[Jester666]

Great work bring this beast back to life You're doing a hell of a job on the tube, nicely done. Thos extra tubes changes the look of it already. Good for you repairing the body and not just buying a new cab.
Keep the pics coming, I can't get enough, oh and the tires look awesome on the truggy.

[crunky]

yes, a true truggy !

[Turn'Nburn]

lookin' awesome!!
makes me want a 'yota
the added bars definitely give it a better, more finished look.

[crunky]

thanks man... i have always wanted a yota too.

i moved on to setting up the floor.
the original floor was tin, but i wanted to add the center hump to cover the battery and see if i could hide the tranny and motor.

[bmuzz1]

I like the added bars to the tail section and they should also help stiffen it up a bit as well.

The Styrene floor should make it a little easier to work with.

Keep them updates coming!

[JEFFSANTOS]

Nice truggy i really miss mine

[yjdavid]

YEAH MAN! this makes me want one of these too!

i hope you can hide the tranny in there, it'll give me some inspiration to do the same to my current build!

lookin realllll good!

[crunky]

thanks guys...
it's no clampy or atomic toy... but it's getting there.

those builds are my reference pages. lol i had wanted a yota for a year or two now, and when i was poking through the for sale section and found this sleeping beauty i had to have it.

it's a love story, and Jesus built my hot rod.

[crunky]

well now that i got into brazing... i need to find one of these.



info ?
i'm not that crafty to make my own yet.

anyways...
it's not much, but here's another bit of an update.
i went back to work on the body here and there. i wasn't sure how strong those problem areas that i fixed were going to be, so i went back and added another skin.




then i went back to the cage and added the lower guard for the light area i want to put back there.



input / feedback greatly considered.
thanks.

[ae racer]

I don't have time to search it right now, but someone had a build thread where they made a bender with some wood block and parts from a sliding door track...IIRC.

[Crawln Coles]

Looking good Crunk. Great job man

My 1st time brazing was just adding parts to chassis similar to what you did.

[yjdavid]

hey crunk about the bender, check out a dude on here named fastball, he makes a SWEET one, i'll be getting mine today or monday and let you know how it is. to me it looks to be the best available. i too have made a screen door roller one, and it works alright but is hard to duplicate stuff with.

[BlueMonster]

The tube you added looks fantastic, and you are doing a supurb job on it! It might require a bit more work, but a transfer case would really allow you to do a full correct interior!

[crunky]

i hear you there.
i have one from coles, but i was hoping to save it for a particular secret silverado.

[Little_Rockcrawler]

You are doing a great job, making me thing about trying my hand at brazing.

[crunky]

well it's been a few days, weather outside was nice and i got a few things done in the yard.
anyways...
i got to filling the back cab.
nothing fancy just strength and durability.




i skinned it from the inside as well, just need to make the cut outs.


i also started to give the dash some love...


and i have also been peeking at my lighting option. i have some more led's coming for this rig, and i needed to fix the old light bar for the roof. it had gotten broken when i took it off. i remembered i had a set of proline lights i had gotten in a trade over a year ago. so i cut the tabs off and filed the bottom of the bar smooth.


then i got to thinking. i hadn't had much luck with coming up with a cheap light bucket option. i looked at the spare separates that come with the proline kit.
looks like i have a date.





thanks for looking
next up is a bit of cab work and the floor.
i am not going to change the tranny location around in the rig after all. it was setup fine for this rig, and i have a few tricks up my sleeve to try to do my best to blend.

oh and i got a bender coming
go more exo ?
ahahaaa.

[Z71HULK]

Lookin good man! Where did you end up getting your bender if you don't mind me asking?
