So I'm kinda stuck.. I have these sweet bumpers that Pat made me, but I can help but wonder if tube bumpers would fit this build better.. Maybe once I get some color on it I'll change my mind..

Wow, you move fast.

I like the bumpers Pat made, if it were me I would keep them on the rig. They look great on there.

Have you thought about painting the bumpers and grille black? That would look great with those wheels.

You may also note I flipped the trans back again, going to try and hide the spur under a bench seat


Rear shocks next so I can move to the bed.

Hi, I am looking to mod a lexan body with styrene and was hoping you could explain your method for bonding the styrene to the lexan and how you made it look so nice after being painted. Thanks

Just used a gap filling CA, as the glue and a filler. And sanded smooth.

Looks great! Pick up a printed Chevy grill and this one will be awesome. I like the color choice as well

I have an original clod grille, and a clod repop here too.. I might be partial to the gmc one though. Give it time I'm not to the "details" yet

Well.. Couldn't sleep the other night, and a few days later a bunch of boxes showed up. Most of this pile is for this truck, the other stuff if for the H3




These wheels are perfect for this rig I think, the CI foams do a great job filling these tires too.




Only one mounted tonight, didn't have a ton of time but I had to see what they looked like.

Looking good, Ive ben thinking about getting some SSD wheels.
What your thoughts on them? Do they hold the bead good?

So far yes, they passed the pull test. Mounted up pretty easy too, even with the crawler innovations foams stuffed in there.

Sorry Pat



Trimmed a bit off the bottom to make it flush with the bottom of the chassis, cleaned it up and prepped for paint
