I remember watching the video of this when you put it up. That is pretty slick!

any idea what the part is for or any hints? I can't see how this part would work with a screen.

I am thinking it's gotta be a regional item but you would think screens are the same in the nw as in the south right?

Well, this thread inspired me since I was wanting to build a comp rig but cash has been a problem lately...

Got the 1 1/2" Base (that's whats on the sticker) as well as this # 3167715000 (Might be the SKU#?).

I had to do some things differently as the only axels I have are on my scaler... which I shaved the 3 Link mounts off the housing and made a 4 link bar. It's cobbled together at the moment (local comp this weekend), but I plan to re-design and machine new axel truss plates that will clock both the front and rear diffs.

Well, here are my pics -






with the body on -






Doc Thunder - Thanks for the inspiration!!!

I have had it out in the back yard only so far, but we have a large Koi pond and a smaller gold fish pond that I built with local rock built water falls and a small pile of rocks to play with... I really like the handling and the way it copes with torque twist.

My next project is either making a drive shaft DIG or selling one of my on-road 4WD cars to fund a R2Dii.
