what do those new tires measure out?

Red Rockcrawler · 11-30-2007, 08:18 PM

Tires are 5 1/2" tall and 2" wide

Great looking truck!

Red Rockcrawler · 12-30-2007, 06:36 PM

It has been a month since I worked on this. So I worked on the spare tire rack for the bed. I also had a buddy tac weld the piece for the rear bumper.

Red Rockcrawler · 12-31-2007, 06:18 PM

Well I did a little more work today. I'm almost done with the bed. I also started working on my rock sliders.

Made a template out of card board so I can cut the diamond plate styrene to fit the bed.

Nice Man!!!! Personaly I like how it sits on those tires! Nice and tall, it just looks mean

Red Rockcrawler · 12-31-2007, 08:21 PM

Well we will see how it crawls. If no one buys them.

Red Rockcrawler · 01-01-2008, 01:05 PM

Well I just finished up the rear bumper area and put some jb weld on it to use as body filler and sanded it down. I need to add some more and do some more sanding then the bed will be ready for primer and paint.

Red Rockcrawler · 01-06-2008, 09:14 PM

Well I worked on the rock sliders and tranny mount today while I'm waiting on parts. I still need to add a couple more braces to hold the rock sliders on.

Red Rockcrawler · 01-07-2008, 07:55 PM

New parts came in today. But I don't think the truss will work with the leafs may have to mod them or save them for another build.

Crawler374 · 01-07-2008, 08:12 PM

its looking great man!

Red Rockcrawler · 01-11-2008, 12:06 AM

Some of the axle upgrades have started rolling in.

New parts came in yesterday thanks to MSD / Ben (unimoger). These are works of art. I have had Fat rock axle c's and badtlt510 clocked axle c's.

These are machine out of solid stock. These are not flat stock fold. Well worth the money if your running tlt axle's with cvd's.

More Axle upgrades came in today thanks to RCP

Red Rockcrawler · 01-11-2008, 08:23 PM

Well I sold my rock stompers just to big for this scale rig. But my new tires came in mud slingers soft. I also got my rims that I won from the crawler store giveaway.

I don't know what beadlocks to run. The VF stalkers or the rc4wd?

Red Rockcrawler · 01-12-2008, 04:01 PM

Well the blue is gone from the front axle and all the new parts are installed. Rcp knuckles and CVD's also made in them thanks to some old axles I had.

The companys logo is on the plastic bag. It is privateer engineering.

Red Rockcrawler · 03-17-2008, 12:58 AM

Well I had to watch the little one why the wife was out worked on Big Blue today.

badBKO · 03-17-2008, 09:22 PM

Sweet lookin truck man. Keep up the good work! How tall and wide are those slingers?

Red Rockcrawler · 03-18-2008, 01:48 AM

I worked on the body a little tonight. I think it is ready for some primer. I sprayed the 1st coat of primer and now I can see I need some more filler and not to sand so much.

Red Rockcrawler · 03-18-2008, 10:44 PM

All sanded up and new primer back on it.
