The R2 is just mounted by making a bracket from some aluminum angle iron I had laying around... Thought I would share a few pictures of a little trail ride I did over the holiday weekend on my family land up in Michigan. I got down to the lake and realized I didn't bring my camera :-(, so all I got was a few pictures with my cell phone. Enjoy!      |

That's one of the coolest rigs in here. And the fact that you did it woth so many stock Hi-Lift parts makes it that much cooler  |

This is one of the coolest most original builds I have ever seen, what else do you have in the works  |

I think yours works better than the 1/1. |

This is by far the best original idea I have ever seen. What a job! It works just like the 1:1 version, to the tee. Great Job!!

I wanted to thank you guys for all your comments, and give an update on a couple changes I've made. I've been running it quite a bit lately, and it's been doing great. One of the changes is that I am just running a limiting strap on the swivel now. The shock worked great, but it's just too crowded on this chassis, and I swapped it out to make it easier to mount the ESC. The limiting strap does a fine job of making sure the swivel doesn't swivel too far, and the dampening effect wasn't that important to it's performance.  The next change is addition of a full size spare in the bed, along with a bunch of feed sacks I picked up at Hobby Lobby for $0.99. It needed a load, and it helps hide some of the huge ugly flat lexan bed.   I just love the "flex" shots on this truck:     |

Nice to see it's still alive Are you sure there's no room for a dropped (lexan) bed ? |

I probably could, but the battery holder is under the bed right now. I'd just need to relocate the battery lower so I could drop the bed. I probably should do that anyway to lower the CG. | |

Very nice. Found this thread back in the Spring when I searched for PW builds. No idea a swivel frame even existed. Built my frame following yours. Built a worm-drive winch for the front. Scratch building the body. Bed is almost done in styrene. Was going to do the cab in styrene also but preliminary tests have shown heat-forming styrene to be tricky. Keep up the great work. |

I agree that is an awesome truck, but did anybody see that the last post until earlier today was almost exactly 1 year ago?
