Some high resolution pics of todays snowrun. The flat irons dosen`t provide much grip in the snow, but fun anyway       |

Looks good man Dont know where your budget is but I think you will notice a big improvement in performance if you stretch your wheelbase a bit. especially with the Honcho body, it would be easy. |

Good looking Honcho I think that Dingo front bumper look at home with the Honcho body as well. |

defnitly extend your wheel base, and take off the rear bumper really doesnt go with a tube bed. but other than that i think the front bumper looks great on there! |

| Now about the rear bumper. Personally this is the first I've seen on a Honcho. It looks great, but you should narrow it about an inch both sides. So it would be about the same width as the frame. Then it should look very good. By the way you just gave me an idea with that bumper. . |

Looks cool with the Dingo front bumper but the rear has gotta go. Also if you want more traction with the Flat Irons, try cutting off every other lug (usually the one with the small line thru it)... I tried it on my rig and it worked great! Very noticeable difference in traction. Overall I'd say it's a great start!! |

Plenty of good tips here Is there a difference between positions on both axels or just the rear? I guess it`s just a matter of 20mm. (dingo vs honcho) |

Of inspiration  Think I`ll go for a white body and some black fender flares. Maybe I`ll keep the dingo front bumper on. Time will show |
