Once you go black, youll never go back.

Black

[scorpiondave]

I'm saying black as well.

[TRAV]

i vote black , and than sell it to me

[Cordwood]

How about the black wheels with the silver rings.

[NMLJ]

Very clean truck!

I dont think the kc lights do the truck justice though. Have you thought about going with an led light bar?

[darkmanx]

Love the way it sits!! It just looks mean!!! Great Job!!!!

[TXJeeper1]

Black

[701 Technique]

Silver!

[Modbug]

The B!tch is back and should be in black.

[SlownSteady]

Black !! Maybe red beadlocks. Killer build !!

well ive been working on installing a CMS and winch on Big Bitch. Its been a nightmare because of the slamed stance.

after several nights of doing, undoing, and redoing i finally had to break my cardinal rule and do angled shocks :( it was the only way.


in order to angle the shock on the driverside, i just made a little hidden mount on the inside to relocate the shock mount.


on the passenger side, i modified a Crawler Innovations servo gaurd to act as my winch servo mount and shock relocation point. worked really slick.


servo winch installed


because of the slammed stance i had to pick up this ultra low profile servo arm.


Installed a set of my Versante wheels with remachined rings and spokes




im right at 10" to the outide of the sidewalls. which i prefer, but im worried about stability compared to the 11.5"-12.5" wraiths ill be competeing against. so i might go back to the Mayhem Monsters for more offset/width.

Screw that!...Just XR mod those axles

[STANG KILLA SS]

i know i know. ive looked into it before. its just universals, Cs, and knuckles right?
is there a "how to" link?

LOVE the build man! The width is just throw ing me off. Looks really narrow, almost too narrow. But I love the truck, and as always, LOVE the wheels!

[STANG KILLA SS]

thanks, yeah it looks odd. its not that the truck is narrow, but the body is wide.
ie its a 1/8 body on 1/10 axles/frame.
for example this body is almost 9" wide. a normal hilux body is 7.5" wide, a clod body is 7.1" etc.
its just a really fat body. hence the name.

[johnnyh66]

looks great!
Is that the TopCad light bar? I seem to remember you ordering it about a year ago when the TopCad stuff was first posted.

That would be it! I forget how big that body is! I bet some wraith axles would look mean under there!

either way, it is a VERY sweet truck! The rear bed is awesome! I hope you do in fact run the tailgate!
