Poison Spider Inspired Jeep Tuber

[Brandon]

Thought I would share another one of my brothers tube frame tlt's. Its getting closer to being done. I just painted the body yesterday for it. and he got it actually going tonight. Specs will be up soon. Still lots of work to do on it!

Let me know what you guys think. If nobody likes it I will strip it and take all my parts back that he "borrowed" :)

[TLTCrawlin]

[customxprone1]

[Wild trial]

WOW looks Coooool.
Awesome build man!!!!!!

[rocpede]

cool tube frame and were is the flex pic

[rerock]

Looks good, but needs more triangulation! :flipoff: What tranny is that? Maybe want to consider using countersunk screws for the lower links/ tranny so it slides over rocks easier. I like it.

[racerx]

Looks like your not getting those parts back! LOL;-) Very cool rig!

Its the t3 stealth tranny. The screw on the bottom are all going to be hidden by a skid plate once its done. Everything is just put together right now so see how it performs before the frame gets painted. He is thinking chrome in a can hehe

[Crawlsalot]

i like it....for a jeep

[OldSchoolCrawler]

Damn nice man, but please clean up those brass joints before it gets painted. I totaly dig the paint. the spiddy desighn is an original I take it?

[thaclodking]

Looks awsome man!

[Wrecker]

The "spiddy" design is the Poison Spyder Customs logo, (a 1:1 shop).

Skid plate; that explains it. I'll have to look into those stealth tranny's. They seem to be getting more popular. Any idea what the gear ratio is on one of those?

[nd4spdbh]

hmmmmm chassis mounted steering servo..... nice

[madhatter]

Looks sweet :mrgreen:

Maybe I'll have to look at a jeep next build :? :mrgreen:

[panaosonic]

Very Evil!!!!! Love it!!! Evil Color!!! :mrgreen:

[Bam Bam]

Thats looks really cool.

[Brandon]

well my brother cleaned up all the welds and finished up the chroming on it. ill have some pics up soon. all thats left now is putting it back together and final details!

[trost]

Sweet looks amazing! how did toy paint the poision spider logo on the hood or is it a decal?

[Brandon]

To answer some Q's...

siiick! What red iand black is tht? Love the colors.

Its faskolor charcoal for the main color. and the spider & flames are a blend of flourescent orange and red.

Definitely! Did you hand paint that or use a liquid mask?

Definately liquid mask. The paint on the body is pretty much the only part of this truck I can take credit for, o and all the parts lol. Otherwise my bro did a great job so far.

hmmmmm chassis mounted steering servo..... nice

Ha! I was wandering when somebody would notice that, I swear you never miss a thing. Good eye. :)

Sweet looks amazing! how did toy paint the poision spider logo on the hood or is it a decal?

We masked the whole body, then my bro cut out the logo from a comp image and I painted the revealed area.

Thanks for all the compliments, I know he sees them as well.

[TLTBASHER]

u know ur truck pimps on the rocks! :lol:

[Brandon]

In the past month my bro has worked on this truck alot. It actually crawls extremely well for its size and weight!

The first coat of paint was a silver chrome color, and that chipped right off.

Now its orange and a much stronger paint. He also added rock sliders on the side to protect and capture the body, along with some front and rear bumper work.

[rocpede]

that tube frame is looking really sick and can't wait to see some pics of it on the rock and how does the steering servo work on the frame and is there any bump steer all.

[RandyatBBY]

I had my tuber powered coated and the coating is super strong.

The steering works great! The first few setups had some bumpsteer, but its not even noticable where its at now.

My brother really wanted to powdercoat it but was afraid it would cost too much. How does it hold up to gettin beaten on the rocks? Has it chipped at all yet? I know it looked great at folsom!

[f150dan]

Lookin good.:mrgreen:




Did you countersink those tranny screws yet?

[1BadJeepBruiser]

Looks SAWEET, I am diggin the orange. I powdercoated the EXO on the 4runner and its been holding up great so far, much stronger then any paint IMO.

[Brandon]

[SlinkySam]

That is so damn sweet. We better see you out next weekend with that thing. I can't wait to try it myself :mrgreen:


We also need to get our twin Jeeps next to each other also. Your jeep worked darn well at the last comp. I need to take a sneak peak at how you have it put together.

Thanks Sam! I will be sure to talk my brother into letting me "break" it in lol. I just hope he built it well enough to hold up to my driving style, and yours :lol:.

Yes for sure, too bad my jeep doesnt have as much rock rash as yours does :( Then they would look perfect next to eachother. I was very suprised with its performance! It did better than expected for pulling a Sam and building it only a day or so before :wink:.

[1BadJeepBruiser]

WOW that Jeep finished off AWESOME, I love the paint work on it. Those rock rings are also awesome.

Mike

[Wrecker]

Holy crap! That thing is sooooo sweet! I love it all painted up. Great job.

[Brandon]

Lol he has been! and as soon as he finishes up all the details it wont be looking as good as it did in those pics. You can see the led tail lights, but they are not hooked up yet, he is going to do headlights as well, a dashboard, and a seat for it. Im just laggin on ordering it for him :lol:

[exesivefire]

that thing is amazing...

thats it im building a tuber

It showes scratches but no chipping and But I put the foam padding around the top roll bars to protect the power coating. It cost me $20.00 to have it coated.

Hey whare do I get those telephome seat holders? In one ear and out the other.

Thanks for the compliments! My brother did a great job on it.

I will have some more pics soon of it out on the Folsom lake rocks ;-)

[Grizzly4x4]

The "Jeep" looks great even after all this time B. Good job by you and your bro.

The scale touches really finish it up nicely and I really like the Swamp Dawgs on the Walker beadlock rings. Maybe some Losi Claws for it in the future? ;-)

"thumbsup"
