Well its January and we have no snow so I can play outside with mine now that I got done tweaking for now. For sure the axle skid plates are coming off - they suck - kept getting caught on everything. Also heard a loud pop in the rear end but everything seems to be working - in high though the tire wobbles noticealby. The nice paint job didn't last too long either - lol, oh well.

With the relocation of the shocks it does travel further up my entertainment center now. I took a pic with the stock shocks and it went up at least an inch or two higher before the rear wheel came off the ground

Course gotta show one pic with one of my 1:1's too

Who cares about the approach angles anyway.

What that bumper is good for is running over ricers with no damage done to the truck whatsoever.

lol - yeah the approach angle is a tad poor, but I don't play much on the rocks with this one anyways. Tried a few times, but not very successful - got another lift coming so that will help though. It does push down trees nicely - had a few get in my way. My two crawlers now are the little Nylint and the blazer I am building. Might try this tummy tuck possibly - depends on how ambitious I get. I'll try without the skid plates first and go from there - probably cut the tires too. Got some nice material from work for new skids if I need em.....
