WOO, is my VS one of those "packed items"

You can use your crawler hauler to tow my 350 off the trail when it breaks again, and I will break it again.

HMMMM look what I made. Just need something to use it for?

This is the second ball I made the first was a bit to big, so if anyone wants an oversized ball for a trailer or something let me know.






Some balls in the process of drying.

check out http://www.cfxpaintworks.com there's a how-to on there for lexan bodies, but I'm sure it can be done on the outside by just reversing the technique.

CFX is a sweet site. I've done a lot of reading there.
If you wanted to know anything about painting a lid, I'd go there verry informative site on painting. Like this site is for Crawling.

Update. Other than the trialer one.
I spent about 10 minutes mocking up parts of the bumpers last night before going to bed and after working on the gooseneck and snuck some tubing into work, so I can work on it during my breaks.
This is coming togeather.
I just need to change the front steering since I don't have time to get the bugs out at the moment. Fix the rear gear casing. Last thing I'll do is make a seperate hitch for the other trailer I'm going to do after Christmas... Oh I mean the holidays.

Yes, I'm wiating on the gear case to come in then I'll switch the front steering with a "normal" set up. I've started the bumpers but put them a side to finish some tubers.


I've worked on the trailer a little but need some time to get the cuts just right.

Fixed the steering problem.

Here is a video with me playing with the kids.
It's crappy and doesn't have any music, also un edited. So you get about 2 minutes of couch crawling ins 4 1/2 minute video. But I'm still learning with the camera.
