Lol....I know what that means...a polarizing filter will cut down glare....but sometimes you need to rotate the filter to get the full effect. I will add that the last set of photos look much better...so whatever you did works.
Enough with the photo comments.

Those clamping chubs look awesome...I would tap those beef tubes in another spot, I've twisted/destroyed the plastic housing on a couple XR mods I've done...I'm pretty abusive.

MISC:

I always liked turdhole's taco, wait that doesn't sound good.

So I see you need a 2" VP light bar...

Work has kept me busy this week, but I wanted to try out the new filter. Also played with some more manual settings to try and make the black come out cleaner. Its a work in progress. LMK if it appears better?

Installed the VP Scale Knuckles and RC4x4 Stainless Link set for the burly tubes.

Looks good to me but I'm not pickey. lol How is the width when mounted up?

[Postclanker]

pics look real good....much better

axles look great also..

[RcBro]

Got the rear axle together today. The Fast Eddy Bearing kit arrived just in time. Can't believe how cheap these kits are! Package arrived the day after I ordered it, kinda freaky fast



Then some Crepperbob shafts



The shafts did need some sanding down to fit inside the lockers. Not sure whether that was a locker issue or shaft, either way quick and easy.



Blue basic cheap marine grease for the win. Pack it in.



Nothing special with tonight's progress, but we are making some headway.

I'm excited to see this truck again I seen it on ebay a couple years back and missed the opportunity to place a bid on it. .. going to be sweet little ride when it's done!

What width is your rear axle? Are you using standard AX-10 lock outs?

Yes, For now till I decide what width this thing is going to go. Don't want to start modifying till I know my plan of attack.
