Looking real good, I think you did a good job on your tires. You could use a GD600 up front too, that is my plan. But if you are going to be doing mud running it may be too much reduction for you. |

the shocks are made of spare tlt parts like the metal chassis braces, and one plastic end for it, one rod end stuck in the other end, i haven't rally worked the shaft out yet , but these are totally for looks, they will cycle up and down but won't do anything. i'll get come better pictures tonight.

I like what you did with the transfer case. I was thinking about it with my build, and needed ideas for the actual case. Yours looks perefect.

Aight she is standing on her own suspension. the shackles need finnishing as they are very rough, and the rear shackle setup is soon to be changed. The flex shot is not bad, with 2med and 2soft diaz leafs but i will be making a add-a-leaf to the soft pair cause i think they will not support the final weight of this pig. also i mounted up the sreeing and im sure it needs tweeking but we'll see. Onther big update is the front body mount. i will be mounting the body in various locations throughout but the bed and cab will be mounted as one. i won't beable to sort that out till i get some body work done. next up is the rear shock cross member, and transfercase cross member. later |

AH! i totally can see what you mean with the TC. thats really tiny, what did it come from? and can you use traxxas yokes on it? that would be killer. so your front body mount will be the grille... clever... its coming along pretty quick now that your focused on it. also i appreciate the clearer pics! |

| thought i'd gets some poser shots. yea the Tcase is a rc10gt tranny. to mount shafts i had to drill out the holes on the maxx yokes. they slide right over the cups and then ill just run the setscrew throght the slot in the cups. i love the look of the tcase but it deffinitly need better mounting, i should have a tube bracket for it soon for everyone to drool over. thanks for all the kind words. |

aight well i got the transfercase mounted solidly. no tube but i still think it look aight. also i mounted the turned down shocks to the front. im not sure im gonna keep the red springs. the soft leafs need some extra support but i think the coils are too much but they look sweet. lmk what ya'll think. PS i found that the pics come out a hundred times better in front of the window. |

well not much but i did cut out the bed. i will start bodywork soon. i want the bed and cab separate so i can access the battey without removing the cab. it will get a toolbox added and fender wells. due to me distroying the bumper i am thinking of building a nicer one like the old or like the ones pictured. |

well i worked on a bumper. i decide i didn't want anything to fancy just a arb style bumper. its far from finnished after some serious sanding, grinding, filling, and resanding it will look great. also plan to mount a fairlead for the winch. it is made from steel plate cut and bent and some brakeline. what do ya'll think? |

yea i thought about it but this way it is a little more aggressive and low profile. i was in the proccess of making one like that and then just decided to make it a little different than everyother one. i like the way it turned out and that its sorta unique.
