Dont have time to watch the vid but I like it. I would definately like some chassis pics. Thats the best part of most rigs is to see the custom work. Body tweaks I would add lights and like rollbar lights. paint the grill black. Maybe cut some jeep like half doors. Oh now I definately wanna see body off I think I see coils on it lol.

Wow thats awesome man. I love how the frame matches the theme of the truck lol. Looks like a reall truck you might see. But wait dont know much about motors but is there a ford 350?

I really like that frame. Looks good with the coils...how are you liking them?

I'm redoing my scaler Bronco and may go with coils...haven't decided yet.

I think a different bumper would make it a little better. Either a piece of C-channel would be cool or something like mine:

Default love them

love em, no problem for me ,flexes well. i would recommend putting coils on. i like to look at them in action, very life like. im kinda screwed on the bumper on replacing it, welded on. i like it, i might add a stinger or something to make it look better. love your bronco, have a build thread on it? O ****tt i see it in your sig. its good your doing a rebuild as that body and cage looks to good to be on a comp chassis

I've got a K2-4 for the frame, but I need an R2 before I can really get busy on the build. I've got some ideas on how to make the coil spring buckets.

Just take a high speed grinder to that bumper, but leave a lip so you can weld on some C-channel. I think that would make a realistic and tough bumper.

that is one scale looking frame, are going to paint that frame or run it raw? I think some black paint and let her rust in would add to the realism
