The new front bumper is the SH!T and the rear leaf setup is very cool

This crawler is the benchmark for toyota trail trucks

I know this thing is played out but these wheel nuts are to awesome not to share! Made by Toyranosaur on scale 4x4 (AKA rouge elements).







I need to detail them but I was to amped about getting them and had to put them on and take pics...now to go take them off and detail them.

Some of you may have been following my thread here: NickRummy 12mm Bruiser axles On the custom 12mm Bruiser axles my clone is now sporting. Well the conversion is finally complete, minus a custom set of wheels. I finished mounting the rear shocks and thought I'd share some pics.





Its now wearing some new Eritex dirty dozen tlt offset beadlocks. These wheels are AWESOME. Great price point and have the BEST off set of any 1.9 beadlock wheel to date.



The track width is even better then when I have the rc4wd wagon wheels on it.

With the Bruiser axles I had to drill some new holes in the Juggsterr rear shock mount and I also made some lower mounts out of some old clodzilla lift mounts...Cut them in half, bent them up in the vice, drilled a hole and sprayed them black.






Last but not least, something that this truck has been missing since day one...



Scale Off Road Snorkel



Considering how much I play in the water with this truck I figured itll look a little bit scaler when the water is over the hood if the snorkel is still above. It was suppose to go on my XJ, but after mocking it up on the clone, I had to put it on...ill order another one for the Jeep.



The damn batteries on the camera died before I could get a shot of the rear flex...still not fully tucking them but pretty damn close.

Sooo.... does anyone want a sneak peak at the custom wheels
