That looks do-able for a hub cap type of thing but, one thing at a time! We'll see how the wheels turn out first. Then I'm working on that AR60 truss dealie and trying to figure out how I want to shorten a AR60.. Gotta make a skid plate / transfercase mount for the FJ as well as a front mount motor/trans divorced plate, then I got your thing coming soon.. Gotta figure out what i want to do next on my C2 tuber..

It sounds like more than it is.. I'm doin alright

Edit: I realize that the smoothie hub cap was just an idea.. Didnt mean to sound like I was breakin your balls!

Maybe as a beadlock ring and hub cap.... or just a hub cap

why would anybody want hubcaps?...

take a rc4wd steelie that has the fugly sold back and hot glue the top of an old salt shaker on it.

Scale points, closer to the 1:1 build and I like them

VDub!

Yea.. Get me them pics Jason. Thats a nice setup.

Johnny, I could put all those little slots in a steelie and figure out how to make that half moon hubcap and polish it all. Thatll be cool.

[JHTreyIII]

Just ordered a couple possible drivers, going to have to try the torch. Danger girl Abbey Chase was one of them.

[johnnyh66]

Wow, she's already got on a wet t-shirt... do you get 2 extra scale points if it's cold out?

I've been trying to figure out a way to make them since I started the build.

Actually, I just need the truck in front of me for about 10minutes so I can measure & draw it. Might have to take it apart a little.

Edit, no hurry on the steelies.

the truck or the motor mount?

[Die-Laughing]

Well, I guess Ill have to see it first but, I figured I would have to get an idea on how its laid out so, I can make it work with different setups, no?
Or am I over thinking it and its just a motor mount. For some reason im picturing like a plate that goes from chassis rail to chassis rail that the motor bolts to and the trans and what not.
Ahh hell, post a pic!

its a crossmember, then a piece that bolts to that that holds both the tranny mount plate and the motor mount plate. motor mount place swivels for diff pinions. you can take the trans and the motor off the crossmember and keep it all together. if that makes any sense.

its a pretty killer little setup. would love to have another one.

kinda hard to see from these pics, but they are all i have. when i tear it down i'll get some better pics.

Option number 2...don't mind me here...I'm not a creepy old guy buying half naked dolls. hahaha.

[Die-Laughing]

Why let a woman drive!??!

Sit that Biatch in the passenger seat!

[JHTreyIII]

Boobs. That's all I can say in response to that question. Boobs.
