Default **Easyroller's Clod Truggy** by R2j

Finally got some time to take some pics of Easyroller's Clod Truggy. Started with a SCX-10 chassis and then hacked it up to back half it. Still have a few things to finish up, but it's coming along nicely!

Thanks! First Clod that I've back halved. I done a lot of Hi Lux's and a couple of Tundra's, but first Clod.

Thank you! When I have free reign, or for the most part, I start with the main hoop and then start adding tube until I feel it's done. Each one is always a little different depending on what I see or the owner envisions. And my builds are usually bare minimum to save weight and not get lost in the looks and scale-ness of it.

Practice and time.

I use 3/16" solid rod and some builds get 3/16" chromoly tubing. I get my solid rod locally from a steel supplier. The chromoly I have to order in from Stock Car Steel, but it is pricey. For instance, 144' of solid rod cost me about $20 less than 18' of chromoly.
