Man I love the look of those CGR's! They kinda remind me of the Tamiya Blazin' Blazer. Nice job! I'm thinking about getting the ramcharger version. But $80, I'll have to wait awhile. |
Looks SICK !!! Where did the driver come from ? Nice color choice too "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup" |
great lookin rig man!!! "thumbsup" |

Excellent job on the CGR Blazer, details and color are dead on! "thumbsup" |

He still looks like he's been gobblin' down the steroids like M&M's, but you can't have everything I guess. Quote:
The rear links are home made from 1/4" aluminum rod, drilled/tapped to accept the stock set screws and rod ends. Upper links are 85mm, lowers are 115mm (rod only length - without rod ends added) I forget what I used for the spacer in between the upper link y-mount and the pumpkin, I'm pretty sure it's longer than stock, but due to the design this makes it an easy spot to adjust the clocking of the axle as you build.

The black is just high-heat header paint. I found I was out of black and did'nt want to run to the LHS. It looks fine through the lexan, and seems to be sticking good... <!-- / message --><!-- sig --> |
Where did the rock sliders or come from or are they custom? |

Cool. I didnt know they made them. I know this is off subject but, I checked out your tattoo work. Nice work. The one with Christ looking out from the from inside the cross, awsome! |
That is one nice lookin Blazer... I do have one question for ya... Are the lengths you gave for your rear upper and lower links measured eye to eye or end to end? Thanks! |
Quote:
The lengths I gave are for the rod only - no rod ends. I used the stock rod ends and set screws. Eye-to-eye of the lower links is 138mm. Eye-to-eye on the uppers is sort of impossible to get, since there's only one eye. The cool thing about the "Y" connector is it makes it easy to adjust the axle clocking by adjusting the one spacer between it and the axle mount. So you only have to adjust one dimension instead of two to get the driveline angle right. Quote:
I stick to the pencil and paper myself, actually tattooing someone is way too intimidating for me... |
Thanks Mike... it is much appreciated"thumbsup" |
Any chance to get a close up pic of the front a rear bumper mounts? "thumbsup" Thanks |

The rear mount is deceptively simple - 2 long 4-40 bolts w/ the appropriate spacers through the stock rear crossmember hold a piece of 1/8" aluminum plate, which screws to the Pro-Line bumper with 2 coarse-thread screws. The front mount is a little more complex, but still pretty easy. It's a piece of 1 1/2" aluminum angle cut to fit the bumper notch. The winch bolts to the top, and the back screws to the Pro-Line bumper with 2 coarse-thread screws. The angle bolts to the stock front crossmember with 4 6-32 screws. I'll get you some detailed pics tonite if my brother is not AWOL from his shop (I really need my own digi camera!!) |
looks great! love the dietail! you took you time with this it looks tops! |
MDcrawler72 - a couple closer shots of the bumper mounts: http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/7879/dsc01764h.jpg You can see here where the aluminum angle is notched to fit in the center of the bumper, with enough left on the back to cover the 2 existing holes in the back of the bumper. These holes are where the 2 coarse-thread screws (black heads in the pic) attach the angle to the bumper. The winch simply bolts to the top of the angle, with the supplied 2mm hardware. Then the whole assembly bolts to the stock front crossmember with 4 6-32 screws, 2 of which are visible here. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/4749/dsc01766zar.jpg The rear is even easier. 2 4-40 screws with spacers (mine are long enough to double as a frame extension, it depends on what body you're using) pass through the stock rear crossmember and bolt to a piece of 1/8" aluminum plate. The 2 black headed screws are 2 more coarse-thread screws into the stock holes in the back of the bumper. You'll need to make a little room in the "webbing" in the back of the bumpers wherever your hardware comes through into the inside. I just snipped it out of the way w/ a pair of side-cutters. Hopefully this makes some sense... |
Nice build man"thumbsup" Those CGR's are really cool looking with all the accessories added to them but you did a great job putting it all together, the color looks great. I agree with you about leaving the front length the same and stretching it in the rear only to get the extra wb. More pics! |

I did get some more pics today, so here they are This is at a spot in a friends neighborhood where 1:1 trucks come to play. In the first shot you can see the power line access road going up the other side of the valley in the background. Guys drive up through the hood to here, then take the access road over to another road. If I could have gotten this shot 2 or 3 minutes earlier, there would have been a 4Runner and a CJ visible climbing the other side... http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4333/p1000959.jpg http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/6163/p1000958.jpg A couple flex shots. It does remarkably well crawling despite my deliberate attempt to keep the ride height and articulation limited to "still street-legal" dimensions. You just have to remember it's a scaler (not a comp rig) and not try to make it do things that are beyond it's abilities. Like you would if you had a real 1:1 truck out wheelin'... http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3619/p1000980l.jpg http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/2138/p1000984kxv.jpg These shots would look so much better if there were'nt graffitti all over the place. Cretins...:-( http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/117/p1000976n.jpg http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/418/p1000972.jpg http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7122/p1000974g.jpg The one action shot that came out decent, jumping a flat ramp shaped rock in the trail. The RC4WD shocks are working pretty good for crawling type driving, but leave a lot to be desired when the speed increases. And the 35t ain't all that fast on 7.4 volts either (I was just barely able to keep the front end in the air over this rock, you can tell the back wheels are still on the rock and the front wheels are already dropping) these shocks are gonna have their hands full when the Cobalt Puller gets installed... http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1963/p1000965h.jpg |
Wow that thing looks good. You going to do a full interior? |
