awesome thanks

Decided on a base to run on. I was digging through my "magic box o' parts" and sure enough TLT axles buiried on the bottom. The first of about 20 that I've owned. I'm going to go with the same basic setup I did with the d90. Tuck the pede tranny as low as possible under a sub frame. I also had some jugg leafs left over and got some super discount g-hawgs. So far I'm only 28 bucks in. Everything was either given to me or so cheap its practically free. Pics to come.

What about Juggy axles? Keep with the military theme. Nothing like a Willy's with 2.5 ton Rockwells... The width should be about the sam as TLT's w/wideners.

CrawlnSlow · 06-15-2006, 07:26 PM

If I could fund jugg axles without losing my apartment I'd be down. The fact that I can't fab in a supmarket parking lot dictates tlt's.

Although would that make me more "hardcore?"

A little paint to get the ball rolling. I would have started the cage, but my MAPP supply would get through about 2 joints. My dads workshop has fallen off since I moved out.

More to come when I get back to my place.

sweeeeeet. looks like your avatar or something out of madmax

CrawlnSlow · 06-22-2006, 06:15 PM

Made a little bit of progress. Got the basic cage laid out. Still have to put cross braces and grab bars. I also got the g hawgs. The tires are where I hit a dead end. For some reason 2 of them are a good half inch shorter. I don't know if imex changed the design or what but now I have to find a whole new set. At least that will leave me one for a spare. Here she is so far.

CrawlnSlow · 07-11-2006, 10:55 PM

Totally random work. I've barely gotten to touch this thing. Whole lot going on in life right now. I'm tring the whole transmission to T-case thing again. This time it's actually going to look decent. Here's what I've gotten done in the past couple days.

CrawlnSlow · 07-12-2006, 08:29 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm waiting on a set of suspension stays to finish the rear susp. I have a motor lined up and a spare rooster and some other random elec. I really want to run lights but i need to find lenses for the rear.

Crawlsalot · 07-12-2006, 08:33 PM
