|  Bought a tow rig for the crawlers, dialup=no
New bright F-150, 16 is inch wheel base and 10 inches wide   Note the size compared to the jeep, this thing is massive!   Hehe It is going to take some work but I need to make a real chassy for it as well as put a set of clod axles under it and I am thinking about mounting my winch to this thing to take the weight off of the jeep. I also need to fab up a goose neck trailer and hitch but that wont be hard, I might have to make it a dual car hauler :P Sad thing is it came out of the box damaged so I also have soem body work to do, the hood has a crack and there are some scuffs in the paint so it will be repainted, what color do you think it should be? |

like this?  for a size reference, that's a 5 foot diameter table.. the wheelbase is correct now, i had to have a piece made to fit. the chassis side rails are a du-bro wing holder (used to be part of the 8x8x8 chassis), esp clodzilla cross braces (the round ones), and a custom made center piece (just 1/8" ally bent to a c shape) here's the orig clod wheels, and the trailer  i run a 12v lead acid battery, 2 super roosters, stock silver cans and thunder tiger reductions (9t in 9t out for like 400:1 reduction) it will pull over 250 lbs in a shopping cart! also, ps1 and a 7 inch monitor fit in the bed nicely.... bdr Last edited by bigdogrod; 05-26-2005 at 08:57 AM. | |

Bigdog, simmilar. The chassy will be stell box tubing and litearlly look like a 1-1 chassy. I dont want it to sit super high as I am going to be trying for a scale looking truck that can be driven on some rocks. 2.2 masher 2ks fit in the wheel wells perfectly but I will probably be using All Ts or swampers. Lodikrawling I like that green, I might just do that, a two tone black green hmmm |

If you want realism, go to a Ford dealership an pick up a brochure with the factory colors and pick from there. got a Jugg body painted in a factory sandstone color and it looks sweet.
