Thanks R2J, I have to say you build some sweet rigs yourself. The biggest problem I have with my projects is actually finishing them

I was actually thinking of picking up a few sets of shocks from you because I think that my ride height is a little too much than what I am looking for. If I do then I will be contacting you

I have that same problem. I have a few different builds and rebuilds right now. I don't even have one RC running.:-( I have all sorts of Shocks. Just let me know what your looking for.

ANUFSED · 02-17-2008, 07:18 AM

Sweet deal! You better finish this build so we can see it!

Just to ask bro, are all the shock bodies that you carry the same width? I mean even though they are different lengths....also I would have to run internal springs, would you have any suggestions on what type of springs to use. This information would help me out alot before I make my decision. LMK.

It got busy at work so I haven't done to much to the truck lately. I have worked on two designs for the hood and wanted to see what ya guys think. I am leaning more towards the grey hood because the black seems to be a little overboard. This is before I putty it up but I think you can see what the outcome will be. Give me some feedback of what you think

karlos · 02-27-2008, 08:03 AM

I like the black one better!

Nasher · 02-29-2008, 07:55 AM

definately the black one, can't wait to see how this turns out

envious8420 · 02-29-2008, 03:29 PM

sweet beginings!
same wb as my jeep.
will the hood be "functional"?

zrider · 03-06-2008, 10:03 PM

Jugger · 03-08-2008, 10:20 AM

TONKA TOY · 03-13-2008, 08:40 PM

That's a statement I can COMPLETELY sympathize with.

ALTERED IMAGE · 04-12-2008, 06:19 AM

Sorry guys been busy with work and just started another build in the 2.2 section..well one is an understatement when the title reads "Blue Oval Trio"

Well I hope to get some work done on it tomorrow and post some pics...gotta give each rig equal attention so there is not jealousy:-P

If you are asking if the hood will open and close then yes...if you are wondering if the scoops will be functional then no.

The newly cut tires are Maxx size and they are 6 3/8" tall. There is already some dust but I won't let it settle too long.

I thank you for your sympathy

ALTERED IMAGE · 04-14-2008, 03:01 AM

Okay one day later than expected. Got a little busy yesterday on my other rigs, but it got some attention today. I took it down back to the chassis so that I could add some more to it. I am also going to be changing the upper rear shock mounts and fron upper link mount. I am still awaiting my suspension links to be made. I added a few more tubes and a bit of 1/8 rod for extra strength. Well on to the pics...its not a whole lot but I got 3 other rigs that I am working on at the same time..lol.

badBKO · 04-23-2008, 05:27 PM

Man, that tube work is awesome, should turn out bada$$, look forward to seeing it completed.

I really don't know how much tube I have in this thing....really don't keep track..

Progress is slow but I am not going to give up on this build

Thanks for the kind words
