Chopped up the front of the cage and rear upper cage supports.
Wanted a bit of a different truckish look.

Been working on lights and axles so far.

Honcho body for panels
Capra front axle with TGH wild overdrive gears and brass knuckles
AR45p rear axle
3 gear VP trans with VP dig

Looks cool so far, interesting choice on a narrower rear axle, but I can think of a few reasons why that would be beneficial.

Used a flat delrin skid with UHMV side plates and some carbon stiffeners for upper link holes.

Looks awesome. What’s the width difference on the axles.

Had great success with this fun-haver today on it's maiden voyage. Rig worked almost perfect. Needs a little rear shock tuning


The rock we crawled today in Wendover Nv. was so jagged, wind blown, porous and high traction, that it would wad your tire up trying to turn too sharp and get our servos a little warm. But we could pull some lines I never imagined

Rock looks like it’s made out of sand paper

This turned out sweet!

Thank you!

G8 proline tires and similar were King on this terrain, anything softer would just wrinkle and fold

DANG, that looks dope man. I never liked the capra, but i am digging like this.
I remember crawling on volcanic rock in eastern oregon. some of it was so sharp it sliced a hole in my proline moabs, it was super grippy though.

Thanks man, I can't stand the overbite on the Capra front. Much better now!

Found a some more pics.
I recommend this place if anyone is passing through wendover in the future. Just west of town about a mile up on the hill, easy to get to lots and lots of rock formation
