Some more updates. .. Internal cage complete!!! Spare tire mount almost done!! Rear part of truggy cage finished for points,looks a little goofy but it is to keep it legal and will work good for crafty wincing techniques, also a rear fuel cell holder also for more points! rear fuel cell plate!! |

Getting near completion, just need to finish spare tire mount and make a fair lead... Installed the winch plate and finished front suspension! I used a Hand bros. Panhard mount, VP High steer knucks and VP VVD'S also installed Axial clockable C's, a hardened 36T Axial ring gear in the axle. Mounted up the elect. on a aluminum plate next to trans. will have some mock up pics later |

Nice job on all the metal work, i like how you went the extra mile for the fuel tank mounts and pan hard. I need to fire up the torch again, keep up the good work!

Guess I missed this rig. Looks like a ton of work put into it. Love the stance and looks mean. Had it on the rocks yet?
