Old School Yota body is in the process of getting bobbed then it will go back on. Probably going to somehow fab up a removable exo too so i dont crack the body if it takes a tumble.

Did some mods to the old 2.2 wheels. took the gay star off and kept the outer as a rock ring.


Got a coat of primer on them


Then Painted them flat black and textured!


Also i stripped all the stock plastic piece of crap gears in the transmission so time for new ones


Ill have new wehheling pics up tomorrow of it!

[Donnie896]

So got all metal Robinson racing internals for the tranny. Shouldn't have to worry about breaking these anytime soon.


Also blew some money on some tsl sx 2.2's and slapped them on the newly painted rims. look good to me!


If anyones interested in them make me an offer. Im really not going to use them that often because of my 1.55's. pm me if your interested in them!

Also did some flex shots of the max flex. pretty satisfied with it.

Number 1
Hood High stinger

Number 3
Butterfly Super stinger

Got all the pieces of shit working today... did some wheeling!


Flexin!


And this is why we call them pieces of shit...


Got her back on four wheels and cut the gay ass fender guards off.


Almost looks real ;)


More to come!!

[Donnie896]

So I went ahead and bobbed the bed today

Took out an inch and a quarter


Always be sure to use the appropriate tools...


Got the tailgate off now


With the extra section taken out now


Now gluing and waiting for it to dry.




And the stuff i dont need anymore

[Donnie896]

so the first attempt at gluing the bed didnt work so now i need i different type of glue. any help? ive heard mek works good when you put the parts together and then apply the mek into the cracks. i figure ill give it a shot. more updates later.

I used Zap poly-zap on mine and cant even break the hold to realign my tub, i also cut up the bit i cut out and glued it in under the tub to give it more strength

Glue 1st then press parts together. I glued all my bracing to one side then glued the other side to the bracing.
