Nice job.

Yea, I've got mine set up like that too - I'm working on a replacement for the stock plastic bracket back there though, because even like that there's enough give on the bracket that it looks like you have 4ws when you apply torque to it.

Just a few Pics of Crawling at the Mendenhall Glacier.

JIA's Dad · 07-26-2007, 07:29 PM

Very nice build.

It's a pleasure to view a good thread for a change. And not useless posts. How do you like the CVDs?

wshipley · 07-26-2007, 07:39 PM

They are working out great.

scaryclownguy · 07-26-2007, 08:58 PM

I agree this was a great thread. I am still really new at crawling and I am attempting to gain insight on what is work and not working for others. Thanks I like the look of your rig

Calderwood · 07-26-2007, 09:10 PM

Whats your take on the rooster crawler? I really want one.

kdubb88 · 07-26-2007, 09:52 PM

Looks like a awesome place to crawl and live for that matter. Good lookingtruck. Well done.

TIMZKRAWLER · 07-26-2007, 09:52 PM

excellent thread ...also have to vote your crawling spot as the coolest crawl spot i've seen on here

wshipley · 07-26-2007, 09:55 PM

I love the Drag Brake it is amazing.

I'll try to post a video in a few days demonstrating the Brake holding ability.

I'll be putting in Mamba Max and Crawlmaster soon, I hope that the Brake is as good.
