Your truggy looks great, like the others have said I would lower it just a little to get the COG lower. A little paint or powder coat on the tube work and.......WOW! Nice job. BTW: What is your wheelbase? Last edited by Nitro; 02-18-2007 at 05:52 PM. |

Good lookin truck. I think it would look a little better with a different spare on the bed, or no spare. |

Thanks for the compliments guys.The spare isn't mounted,I just have a bunch of tlt spares kickin around,so I chucked one in there.Just in case anyone noticed this tuber was originally built by SKIPPY.I purchased just the chassis and body.It sat for over a year until I decided to do something with it.I cut off the front clip and rebuilt it to suit my needs.I also added the expanded steel to the bed and the wild willy winch mount to the rear.Made the trans mount,etc.,etc.Just needed to give credit where its due.Do a search for f350 truggy and check out the original build,some really cool pics!I am sure this truck will get cvds and FR axle c's as soon as some are available. My narrowed m2ks are holding up ok.Would the rubberized CA glue be best for gluing tires back together?Ya know the thick brown stuff?I used reg ca glue and am not sure how long they will hold up.Only one way to find out!Later Jim
