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! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

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. 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! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

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! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

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. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

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 fenders Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

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. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

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