finally got some real crawlin in today. pics
 
I finally went out and crawled something other than curbs and the couple rocks in my yard.

crawled for about two hours, and ran some awesome lines, and took some awesome pics and decent cell phone vid.

ran into a little bit of a problem about half an hour in though....

A good day crawling, no doubt.

The WK looks great too. Aren't they amazing?

Congratulations.

Nice looking truck. It looks like that snake likes it too. Is that a ratler? I have seen ones here in AZ that look just like it.

Yes it is a rattler and it was rattling at us for a while. I have not seen one in person since I was a kid. it was cool and a little scary at first since I looked down and it was three feet from me when I first saw it.

Maybe? I am thinking about it but have not made up my mind. I am still trying to make it out on a wednesday or sunday to meet some of the utrcrc guys. but still haven't made it yet!

actually it did strike at the truck once only because I decided I needed to see how close i could really get before it would strike!:twisted:
it sure reminded me why I hate snakes!!!

how much weight are you running in the tires?

Mac10 05-24-2007 08:38 AM

right now I am only runnin stick on weights with 1.5 ounces each in the rears and 3.0 ounces each in the fronts. but think I might add a little more in the fronts either with more stick on weights or possibly bb's.
have not reached that cross road yet. I need to get a little more time in with it the way it sits before I decide.

I did recently go to a 13/96 gearing on it versus the old 15/96 and the slow crawl ability is way better now.
The only thing I wish it had was a little more ground clearance in the center. luckily we have a long weekend ahead of us so I might change it up a little.
