well we had a trail ride today so i took the M-38 out for its first serious wheelin. i have to say i was blown away. it did incredible, it was making stuff i know my 2.2 rox lox jeep tuber couldnt do. i was really impressed, an absolute blast to drive. on to the pics.      broke a plastic C right at the end. no biggy.  |

Excellent work. Nice job on the tires, they look very much like the MIL NDT's. It's nice to see one of these with the hood and windshield, usually they are missing. Are you going to make a tailgate for it? Awesome off road pics too. I had to take a second look at a couple of the black and white photos, looks vintage. Cool build.

I figure I'll update this build since I am fixing to get it going again. I bought the body and wheels from Corey and put it back together as a roller with some extra parts I had. It is just sitting in my office for now until I get a hold of a T-case and an Axial Tranny. I am re-doing the rollcage now. Still debating if I want to re-paint it or leave it alone.   |

I really like it with the windshield down and no roll cage. I'm sure it will have a lower COG, too.

Cory, you need to build another one of these so I can have another 1/6th scale rig to play with! |
