I have tio, lil.
Its gonna be sick!

By the way, I agree about the shackles.
I would make sime oh shit handles out of black heatshrink and nylon ribbon.
Just a thought.

Just hung them for quick G6 access. And put them far enough forward that if my scale driver gets here in time he'll be safe.

Was thinking the same thing earlier. With everything going on, I'm really stretched for time and have gotten badly behind on customer orders. I'll get there eventually and be able to call this one "done".

Damn very nice build...

[CarterFab]

Thinking these new compound Boggers may be in order( this was taken after pulling them put of the package and installing the CI DD foams). Gonna need some new wheels for them though.

[motomoto]

The scale details on the interior look awesome. Fantastic attention to detail. Great build!

[Bulldog]

New compound boggers? Of course...mine must be the old compound...x3 semi soft, kinda sticky advanced prerelease old updated compound...RC4WD logic style


Hey, what are you dressing my axles up as for Halloween? I think you should throw a priority mail box over them and tell them they are orphans!

I just got the diff covers painted orange and detailed like jack-o-lanterns and thought about using an express box for them and telling them to find a new home. Seriously though, I've been slammed with overhauls at work keeping the machines busy. We have 2 more coming in Monday then a break.

Like I said. That was straight outta the package. I have a solo cup full of trimmings that say otherwise now.

[doublej]

Oooooooo - that would make any hillbilly say "Sexy time!"

Wondering..... How do you trim your tires sir?

[Grizzly4x4]

Staying with 2.2 or reducing to 1.9?

As far as tooling, either body scissors or dikes, and a cut off wheel if I go full Tennessee "Hell Raiser" style.
As far as design, either just removing the small lugs or removing small lugs plus a grooved tread.

Still torn on the subject. If they stay on here they will stay 2.2 due to wheels and the overall size of the rig. But I'm torn as to reducing them to 1.9 and hopefully ending up with a 5.5" tire for my new class 3 build.
May run them on here and see how they feel and perform and decide if they are a legitimate replacement for the Iroks but waiting on wheels to show up so I can do a straight comparison on exact same course between the 2.

Well thats a good way to test it. how do you like the iroks? Are your iroks cut at all?

I think they need wider than a 1" wheel and some better foam tuning then what I had. I have 5.5 inners and 6.0 outers in them. We put 6.0 inners and outers in the Boggers and they feel awesome. And they are actually smaller than the Iroks so that tells me I need to go back and work with them. I also don't own any wheels wider than 1" right now in 2.2. Could probably use tuning rings on the side and get the full that I need for the extra width. They are uncut at the moment but I'm staring at them as I'm dis mounting them and thinking I'm gonna cut them.
I couldn't wait for new wheels to show and the weather is beautiful today. I know the lines here good enough to know how they will compare so I'm mounting the Boggers.

[89lxmorepower]

So basically they need 6.0 foams in iroks and boggers and a 1.25 wide wheel to be better

[CarterFab]

Much more predictable and work better for me than the Iroks did. These pulled a line that I could not do before and they throw dirt way better.
Plus the looks if them just says business.
I'm gonna trim up the Iroks this weekend and mount them back up with 6" inners when I get new wheels and see if they get any better.
