|  Anger Inc. Support Truck
Picked this up today from a friend of mine. Plan is to make it a tow rig/support truck for the slash. It's pretty big. That's my 1.9 in the bed. The wheel base is 18" and the body is almost 11" wide by like 26" or 28" long. Gonna use the nylint wheels and tires cuz they are the perfect size and really scale. Don't know about axles. Summit trans. And build a trailer for the slash. This will be a slow build until I get other projects finished up. Tailgate drops and hood opens, and the ford emblems are 3-d like on a real truck. Sorry about the pics, they are from my phone.   |

now you just need an ATV body for your1.9! thatd be cool! maybe some txt axles might fit the bill, plus they look kinda like rockwells!

did some work today on the rig. made a front bolt pre-runner bar out of 1/4 tubing. started the bed/roof rack out of 3/16 tubing. the racks mounting hardware is all going to be hidden. brazing screws into the tubing where it passes through the bed rails. gonna haul spare tires, a jack, and some fuel tanks.      |

Probably do a full tube frame for ease and cost effective. Might cut some side rails from plate but well see what comes to mind when that day roles around. Thanks for the comments guys.
