Its time for a new body for my trail rig. Started with a tear-down of the rig to check, lube and tighten everything. Settled on the '73 Proline Bronco body as it matched my wheelbase well. Next step is to build a bumper, so here's a few progress shots as of this morning.

Got out today for some real trail time out at Corona Del Mar State Beach. Scalers meet up most wednesdays and it has been a month since I've been out to play. Rig did great, just have to add lights and could have stayed out for another hour or more. IMG_1396 by ethernectar, on Flickr Johnny Law tracked me down.
