This is cool build. Something completely different. The welding sure is fast and look, no burnt tires!! Will be watching this one for sure.

Is this your build thread or Jerry's?

It's kinda hard to tell...

I'm more designer than fabricator. We all know this.

Yesterday I also ordered up some steel wheels from RC4WD in addition to some Boggers.



The wheels will get a light sand blasting to take the "new" off. I'll take them down to bare metal in places to start the rusting.



These tires are not my preference when it comes to appearance normally but for this build I think they are most fitting.

I looked at those but my second choice would have been the Flash Points because of the tractor-ish look. They just weren't tall enough.

Needs mis-matched tires. Fronts need to be a little shorter than the rears too.

We'll see about that. If I get gears I could put a pretty good stagger on it and still perform well enough.

Nice build Harley(Jerry) ,They have a little tractor show down the road from every year, last year I checked it out and learned what a Doodlebug was. They had some strange looking ones that were really cool.


Hey , these guys live just down the street from me. You should see the sisters.

Just got home. On the way I picked up some new shocks for the build, the RC4WD Ultimate Scale shocks. The coil over look doesn't say redneck to me at all, the 4 link is bad enough (but there is no way I am going leaf sprung).





Mounted up! These have springs on top and bottom of the piston. They sit at about 95% droop which I am fine with really.
