I came to the realization I have to go with something this route as our rocks just are not friendly towards hardbodies with lots of work into them. Thanks Chris! | |

Looks good. I was just cruising for some ideas and I really like your up and over bar closest to the cab and the light setup.

wellll this is what I managed to get done over the weekend. Not too too much but time consuming stuff. I cut my fenders down on a previous build to get the length of a k5 blazer, so to gain some length back I made a steel fender spacer which I bolt the plastic ones onto. I added a couple more lights and sanded some tabs off of a axial electronics box. I started on the front bumper and am not done yet with it. Not sure how to finish it up. I'll do some staring haha. I got rear shock mounts done aswell. Not sure if I will even bother with doing custom front shock mounts as I am still going to use the body posts. Atleast for now. About the look I am going for.  Some added supports  Electronics box  A trick I thought of.... cut out the factory blower recess in the body, flit it over and gllue it in for a fill piece!      |

alrighty, got some more work done on her. I did up a couple 4 link mounts. I want the axles to be as bare lookin as possible. Yes you can buy the brackets, but why buy when you can build em!   Hang some axles, build some 8-32 revo ended links and we get a truck...ish.   From the rear  Not a whole lot of articulation but what I wanted.  |

Yet some more work got done. I started to install the electronics to see how everything will fit. Once done I took it for its first drive and must say I like how it works so far!! I just jammed the electronics in,...with a bunch of zipties and gaver. However we never took a camera with us. If we did I would have had some funny pictures showing "slowkrawl" being a meatball and driving his honcho off a 15+ foot mountain bike bridge in the trees haha. Some electronics isntalled. I ran holmeshobbies brxl esc and I must say I am impressed thus far!!  Batteries fit on the rock slider/skid plates but are not pictured   Put some body panels on to make sure it all fit in there.   |

I pulled the truck apart today to add some braze to a couple joints, add some nuts for panels, finish my front bumper, the slot isn't the sexiest but I will be running a MSD fairlead ontop to cover it up. Should look gooood.  Roof panels will share a bolt hole with the light buckets    |
