Re: K5 build up
 

All torn down. You can see the clearance difference of the skid plate. There are a few minor issues I've ran into so far:
1. I need a hardware kit bad, I'm running thin on my assortment.
2. I ether need to figure out a different top 4 link mount on the chassis, or get angled links.

Hopefully this weekend I can get on assembling this body!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...66c10355c0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eaf9cd80c6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d6e9b59d44.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...282064cd3e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5d6b2fe37c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a1c145abe0.jpg

Most of the body is finished, this thing is pretty awesome. I am blown away by the detail. Little things I need to finish.

I got some more aluminum goodies, mostly chassis support pieces.

Got some link mount extenders to fix my rear link binding issue.

Waiting on a master hardware kit, phat axles, electronic mounts, and some king 100mm, should have this stuff Monday/Tuesday.

I'm not to sure yet on how I'm going to mount this body, but I do know unfortunately I have to cut the interior, I'm going to remove it for now until I get a good chassis fitment. Might be trimming the fenders, not to sure on that yet[emoji40].

This weekend I'm going to try to get some supplies for inner fenders. I am getting the itch to get back into brass fabrication, so i might make some bumpers, sliders, and fender bars. I would love to make a cage, but time is the issue right now.

Not to much going to happen for the next few days, as i am running a booth at our AAA travel show in Denver.

I will update once the parts come in!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...753b2eaeb7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...267996b35a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...481102192f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...925c0f1f4e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...306e9491a3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...621e460337.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ecc4bcb63c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...30893ab8d3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3a1492e0ce.jpg

Rear end is done. 4link mount to driveshaft clearance is close, but it clears. I need to build a gear cover, finish the front. I have 100mm kings coming. I have to trim some parts of the body to clear the frame. Over all it's coming together pretty decent. A teaser pic of the final stance!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6ed60b7059.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...389eeabc89.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6412ba2182.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b26f011660.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9132c86306.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...92a9d3b355.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0230949e03.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6f150e9db6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c1a63771e6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...494f2c9e5e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0d506c9a24.jpg

Re: K5 build up
 

Gotta finish the body and mount it. Get some bumpers that will match a good fender trimming and adjust the suspension. It's getting close. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...64f9f550b1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0050b760bc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...81c1b00eb7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dea9d6a6f8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...24a726c613.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...91f0207bb3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b5a2c4a0a8.jpg

Pics of the new rims, tires, and sliders.

Next plan is mount the body, adjust suspension, build the inner fenders and filler panels, interior, electronics, and a possible trim on the fendershttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d66cb968f6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4017a8b68c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...18b8dc57a1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e4a626e6e7.jpg

Got the body mounted, and working on inner fenders. There .030mm styrene. Used my Mac heat gun on low, and some 1/4 thick foam strips on my fingers to help form the plastic around the chassis.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b38a635345.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b96e8ed685.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...894108a3fb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ebf5af582e.jpg

Re: K5 build up
 

Hey what chassis and skid are those ? Maybe you mentioned before but did not find the info.
Thanks a lot

Re: K5 build up
 

The chassis and skid are made by the Crawler Store in Colorado. I am not sure if they have an online store or not, but I believe there active In the Colorado forum.

Nice looking truck. It looks very Ted Nugent-esque. If only you could find him as a driver. :ror:

Re: K5 build up
 

I'm gonna have to look for one lol. Rear bumper lasted about 10min.
