OK, you asked for it.

Rear shock hoops.



Rear axle truss and links.



Front steering.



Tight fit between the knuckles and new wheels.



Cage and tub.







Here's what it looks like as of right now. These tires are temporary......just too big for this rig.











Even have a driver that looks like me .

Thanks Norm, it's .025 aluminum. You know how well styrene and I get along . The entire tub only weighs 4.6 oz., I don't have to paint it, and it won't crack when it gets sandwiched between the roll cage and the chassis.

It'll install like I did on Brett's rig.

How are going to keep the tires from rubing the body. I relize it not at finished ride height but it looks. Like it will hit.

Got a chance to work on it for 4 or so hours this weekend.

Got the tub all cut out for the shocks, cage mount tabs done.



Also got the rear bumper done....not fun.





Plan to run a curved tube from the sliders/boatside up to the rear bumper to tie everything together.



The bumper mounts are also the mounts for the rear cage tabs. The aluminum tub sandwiches between the cage tabs and the bumper mounts.



Front shock mounts done.



Flexes just about right for me, but the tires are still too big. Hopefully I can get some smaller tires soon.

Looks good Tim ,cant wait to see it in person. Is the passenger side front shock hoop squared off ? if so, why ?

You should come up to the skook this weekend. We have 41 1.9 drivers signed up. NW qualifier ? Of coarse we would need some ORCRC representation
