| Re: It Lives!!! Thanx!. The springs work well. I origonally thought they'd be way to stiff, but because of the angle they're one they seem to work quite well. The thing is nice and flexy. |

| Re: It Lives!!! Sweet! Nice and clean! I also like your simple paint job. A very professional looking truck for your first time. |

| Re: It Lives!!! Thanx! I figured a super detailed paint scheme would be wasted on a truck that would spend alot of its time tumbling end over end down rocks. I too like what I came up with. The blue was supposed to be darker..............but hey, what can ya do! The truck has been great so far.............in fact, it's got me hooked enough that I'm already planning my next crawler project. Bigger, badder, more fab work, and shaft driven. It'll be months before it ever see's the rocks............but it's in the works. |
