|  Project " Copperhead" Badger made me build it, toyota trail rig Here is the start of my toyota trail rig. specs are : mountaineer chassis soon to have custom revolver shackle leaf spring kit rc4wd alm shocks with custom mounts pede trans jato driveshafts lathe 55t s. chicken mounty wheels, beadlocked narrowed s. dogs locked diffs custom flat bed by rckjeep savage bumpers winch few more things I forgot, NOT all of this stuff is even done yet, BUT I have been asked, I mean TOLD to post a few pics for all to see, body and flat bed are resting on chassis, not in final mount at all. I have 6 of these trucks just sitting around, it was time to do something with some of them. Kinda weird, cause' I have had em' since the 80's. Last edited by Unimoger; 11-23-2005 at 06:13 PM. |

| just a quick question, how's the durability on those itty-bitty irreplaceable axles? are the internal gears typical Tamiya cheesemetal, or something better? gotta love the look, though. |

| bruisers don't have diffs so how can you lock them? Unless you mean you put rear hubs on the front axle? |

| Ben in the second picture the rear cover should cover the frame not sit on top of it. Though you may need to open it up a bit. |
