Those waterfall pictures are awesome. That's that huge place right off Bolinger Canyon or whatever, off 680 right? Anyone contact you while you were driving there? I seriously need to make it to some of these events to learn from you guys. The scale rigs look great too - I kept picturing how cool it would feel to be in a 1:1 driving in some of those conditions. Freakin' massive waterfalls crashing down around you... keep up the good work guys.

Where are those updated pics with the TLT shocks and stuff? It looks promising that I will be getting a nice Bruiser chassis soon and hope to do the same.

Is there any one out there that makes aftermarket shackles and leaf mounts that will bolt right up to the Bruiser frame or do I need to source originals?

It's not that hard to find them on ebay. There is usually always an open auction with them.

Yeah, I know... I just don't have the best luck dealing with eBay. I have been scammed twice in the last year and I am kind of jaded dealing there right now.

easy tiger! here are the pics of the revised shock setup. i just wish tlt shocks held oil better. easy enough to refill though.

That beast needs some turned down TLT shocks , not that the regular ones are killing the scale factor or anything Any new ideas coming for this thing Dean?

not sure yet mike. i need tires soon as these have been on 4 different vehicles and have been cut ,sectioned and reglued to different wheels more than i can count. the original plan was to put claw dawgs on this but they were confiscated by badger and slinky sam. maybe a new set of mashers, maybe claw dawgs, maybe i will just run these till there is no more tread.

I was going to say, those things have some serious wear to them , i think some narrowd mashers again would be cool, have you thought about using them and then using the peices left over from sectioning them in between the lugs? That might look kinda cool. My friend Mo did 1.9 clawgs on his high lift with the stock car wheels and they looked awesome too...

yeah, you can't beat the performance of the mashers but the claw dawgs would look sweet on it.

Nice way of attaching the shocks... I agree with the turned down shocks may look better, but I think your rig is executed extremely well. I like it a lot.
