looks good so far

[FATBOYrs10]

me and my son are currently building one of these for him, (will post a build thread maybe sometime this weekend) really like the looks of the cage. did you build it yourself?

[cmyers1]

Yes sir built the cage myself

[cmyers1]

Just got done in the shop and fabbed up some axles trusses. My idea for the front truss is to build a radial arm instead the the standard three link. Hopefully I can get some more done tomorrow.


Front truss......obviously

Rear truss.

Lol that's what you get when your a "controls electrician" and there are those days you have to get greasy. But trust me I fixed that issue.

Sweet looking start and the axle truss looks sick. Keep up the great work.

Thanks man. Working some overtime today, but when I get home from work I'm gonna finish knocking out the radius arm.

[Devil Inc]

Looks like you're off to a good start. The truss design looks good. I've got 3, yes 3 of these bodies on my bench, started with a 'Class 2' build first. Subscribed

[cmyers1]

Thanks for the comments guys. Got home from working my overtime today and look what the mail man left.Couldnt help but mount the stuff to the axle and throw on some hardware on my rings. Gonna hit the old shop and finish my radius arm now.

[Devil Inc]

That's a nice surprise to come home to, quality stuff right there.

[cmyers1]

Got a lot done tonight. Buddy came over with his rig also. Got the radius arm done, DDk mocked up, and fenders on body cut. Got it mocked up on my buddy's wheels cause mine haven't come in yet. Here are a bunch of pics

Kind of weird seeing cmyers as a aviator name since I think this is the only website I don't go by cmyers7 on haha. Well my evil twin it looks good!

[cmyers1]

Got some time in on it this afternoon. Stole a trick from another member on here and fiber glassed the fenders to add some strength. Got my servo mounted up and had to make a new pan hard bar. Also got the gears installed in my split skid on to some pics.

[cmyers1]

Started on my rear bumper, trying to make it look like my warn bumpers on my 1:1 tj. Kinda hard to see the angles on the bumper but they are there, welded up all the seams. Also going to integrate a swing out tire carrier on it.

And the "scale" one

I really like the stance you ended up with. Looks like the suspension cycles good as well.

[cmyers1]

Thanks. Wanted it to sit pretty low. And suspension feel pretty smooth, with the new panhard bar. The old bar in my opinion really restricted it.

That's looking good . I like your cage.

Thank man however I ordered a new tube bender and more than likely gonna build another one. Same design just with some slight tweaks. Prob just trash that cage once the other one is finished.
