| D90 from the UK managed to grab a hr on a bit of fab work the cage work is almost done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk managed to sneak off again tonight it's becoming a regular thing the tray is complete just the rear chassis mount to finish it....Iv got winch mounts to do but I'm holding out to maybe bag a quicksand winch...the power stroke shocks arrived today from the U.S. So il be able to mock those up next done a little on the grille also managed to tidy the odd joint and straighten a couple of tubes! I'm really enjoying building this truck Last edited by Paul 88; 07-22-2015 at 12:16 PM. |

Something totally off topic and I'm unsure were to ask.....does anyone have the dimensions of a quicksand winch? I know there very rare but I'm holding out until I get one! I can make the front mount if I have the dimensions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I am liking the shape and proportions of the tube work. One observation though...it appears the tube work is removable everywhere except where it attached to the front bumper. Am I missing something?

awesome rig, when you say cut down a set of 2.2 boggers did you actually cut a chunk out then glue them back together.

Yes the tyres had a biggish chunk taken out of them...there around 5mm taller than stock 1.9 boggers but super phat...if you look you can see the cut line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Awesome build Paul! Great work on that cage! I love all the UK traybacks in general and especially the Gigglepin Special. Just asking, did you also check the looks with tall & fat 1.9 tires...? Anyhow, look very much forward to next posts |
