Got a little bit done. Painted the rims black and added fronts to the rear of the rim so it is like the real thing. Started sleeving the links. Made a hook for my winch down and painted it up. |

I got the frame back from the powdercoaters. They botched it nicely. Runs like crazy, bubbles, blah blah. Wasn't impressed, wasn't impressed with how long it would take to redo it so I said screw it, give me a price break and I'll take it. so I started to clean some of it up and jammed the skid plate in along with the axles and shocks. |

I painted some stuff quickly to see how it would look. The paint is not done yet, and I will have a new bedsides on the truck fairly soon. I put the lights in and will have to go buy some LED's and wire that up. Once the servo drys from being plasti dipped I can then throw that in and keep on rolling on assembly. |

| Well that sucks. Did they say why it got screwed up? For what it's worth, it looks good to me from the pics posted Whole truck is looking really good Matt.

| honestly it was put on waaay too thick, then they hung it and it all went to the low end. Try not to mention it to him next time you are down there, I am going to deal with the problem as our families have known eachother for ages.

Did you have any problem mounting your tsl's to your rc4wd wheels? I am getting the same combo for x-mass!

Rig is looking very good. Great job man! Keep it up Quote:
That does suck about the PC. I've done the same thing myself,trying to spray all the hard to get spots and end up putting it on too thick. And if it's too thick it will run. But like Ecoli said, you can't tell from the pics. | |

This rig is so sick! Awesome work. I think the TSL's look much better than the Rok Lox. Can't wait to see video and let us know how the PC holds up. Tru3Racing, check the first post for your answer. |
