|  My High-Lift Build Contest Submission
Oh wait....no time for building, too busy wheeling. -Raised the cab up by half an inch or so. Removed the rails. Plan to do a rear flatbed eventually but it works great like this. At the very least I'll make a battery cover. -Shaved the lip off of the diff covers and it makes a huge difference in the looks department. -Took off the stupid front bumper and put on the Savage brush guard. -Still need to relocate the steering servo because it hangs too low now. -Installed Narrowed Xtreme RC Geos on the RC4WD narrow beadlocks. (Zero offset beadlocks on order) Now the only disadvantage to this thing is the low center skid. Once I figure out something for that this thing could honestly hang with most 2.2 comp rigs. I have driven it and beaten it probably more than anyone else has and I've only broken 2 minor parts. Servo saver and a yoke e-clip came off. I'm still extremely happy with it.    |

Is that real rock rash, or did you beat on it with a chain? Looks cool, in fact I think it's my favorite HL so far. You gotta do a flat bed, but don't even think you could hang with my 2.2 comp rig. |

No, its real. There is a video of it getting rolled and beat over at tamiya club. That truck looks good. I've been working on a chassis that will lift the belly a bit, I'll let you know if it works out.

Exactly what needed to be done to make it trail worthy. It actually looks to be in decent condition.

Beauty. I took my bed off yesterday. And broke my bumper the other day. Then today I sized up a Savage bumper, and now here's your post. Sweet. |

you HAVE to enter it, in your message you need to say something like, "while all you homo's were busy spending your time chroming everything on your truck I was out beating the hell out of mine!"
