el rauncho

[flatfoot]

http://well, after falling headfirst back into crawlers(sold my honcho about 5 years ago), I came back to this site to see what's current.i had seen/heard of the wraith, but once I saw the spawn that did it.so after buying one, and doing a "few" small mods, my wandering good eye spotted this thing called wroncho.so I started buying pieces to put one together.this is my progress soo far.got the chassis, and axles pieced together, and have been waiting(it seemed like forever) for the power wagon body to be released.i know, I could have bought a take off, but I hate red, and didn't want to strip the paint off one and start over.so I waited patiently for them to come into stock, and now have one.so now i'm mocking up body mounts(I used the wraith skid plate, so my frame is non stock width), got the front done, now just need to tackle the rear.i'm going honcho rear cage style, but i'm going to fab my own, instead of buying the axial piece.so i'm not sure if i'll put rear cab mounts on the frame facing rearward through the cab, or on the rear cage, facing forward?i'm going to get some rod tomorrow to start the cage work, and will go from there. for now, a couple current shots.http://

truck looks good, what color have you planned for it? I was just wondering if that new axial ram body came with real healight buckets? from what I saw on the site they do.

yes, they come with the headlight buckets.as for color, i'm going with white. so the finished prduct will be el rauncho blanco.i was originally going to paint the outside, so it was flat white.but i'm a terrible driver, and it would get scratched up, so i'm going to paint the inside instead.so I guess it will be shiny el rauncho blanco?

White is definately a possibility for me aswell, looking forward to seeing it. I'm looking into getting a fresh ram body to replace my beat up one.

http://finally made some progress, finished the body, finished my rear cage, and got everything painted and mounted.now the body is mounted I can finish my front bumper, then get on with mounting the electronics.i'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
