To me, and this is just an opinion, they just don't look scale. I like you spare!!

Opinions are like arse holes, and I are one... Don't take it personally, it wasn't meant to be taken personally. You should expect to hear good and bad on your rig if you post it on the internet. If you don't agree, let it roll in one 'ear' and out the other.

It's a shame the Mud Flaps didn't work out. I really liked them. Do you think they'd work if you fabricated a small 'L' bracket that would keep them from folding backward (toward the tires)? It would probably only need to be 1/3 the length of the mud flaps to keep them out of the tires. Just a thought... I might have to try making a set for my fraxialenstein build.

Cheers brother. Build it how you want it built, and have fun with it.

yea but if I don't like something on some ones rig I keep it to my self. And yea I don't think that will work cuz as soon as I try to back up if theres a big rock or something I think it will bend the metal or hook it on something. and for the tires not being scale they are basicly 35" tires on 18's or 20's. and the rear bumper is gonna have to stay cuz I installed my tail lights in it lol

I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut. That's not exactly a big secret... I figure a good friend is a honest one. If my fly is down, or I have toilet paper stuck to the bottom of my shoe, I'd want you to tell me. If I didn't like you, I'd keep my mouth shut. No one said I have to approve of everything anyway. Except for me... Either way, I'm subscribed to your build. I'LL BE WATCHING YOU!!!!

lol and I got my eye on you, and true true

Take the good and the bad in stride. I dont see anyone criticizing your rig here, just giving suggestions and opinions. Dont be a baby!

[lonleycreeper]

[lonleycreeper]

Pics of your new stuff!

[slow-go]

well I installed my winch on top of the bumper and I didn't like it there cuz I had to cut out part of my grill......




















so I fixed it

And I also installed my tool box and tools

[lonleycreeper]

Looking good man, liking the winch behind the bumper too. If you moved your battery in front of the trans and put your reciever box in the back you truck woul climb better.

[slow-go]

thanks yea I know but if I did that I couldn't run the body set up I have the ESC and stuff would get in the way of the rear cage so iam gonna have to run with weighted wheels in the front some day;)

[slow-go]

And my tool shot...







U can't see them but my two Sand Ladders are neatly tucked under the spare in the back

[slow-go]

our second run on the course today
