Exactly!

Saturday will be fun, come on Bigski bring yours too!

[BigSki]

Gonna pass. I'm not beating the shit out of mine trying to make it do things that it doesn't do very well.

Awe come on out anyways, I'm sure there will be plenty of people down for a trail run. Besides I need to get some cool video of all 4 jeeps running together.

Let me know if you need anything to get ya running for Sat. Looks like a decent turnout for the jeeps, now just gotta convince bigski to make it out.

[mjderstine]

i should be good man. just gotta drill 4 holes and find a motor to stick in it.

you gonna have that little sami running?

[sellenk]

The little little zuki will be running

[KBess1110]

Been reading and re reading your build. Just picked one up and in excited to get her going!

"JUST SCALE IT"

[mjderstine]

thanks man. this was by far one of my quickest builds. its a great rig, and i think its one of my favorites. things goes like nuts with the 2.2 pits on it.

[tdylan28]

that paint turned out killer man! I love the color and that front bumper is mean looking.

[BigSki]

Any changes to it over the winter? Mine is still sitting in pieces, waiting for the time to put it back together and build a new cage.

[mjderstine]

no changes really. i need to get more power in it.

its been sitting on the shelf for a while since the winter sucks this year. its nice and scratched though!

[mjderstine]

so i had to take the transfer case out and put it back in my D90. so why not just make one for this one.

its a 18 and 17t mod 1 pinion. the shaft is a 5mm drill blank. the CF is from some 4mm stuff i had laying around. just gotta wrap it in something to keep the grit out. and put in some way to mount it to the chassis.

[Bart bender]

Nice, simple, effective

[mjderstine]

Thanks Bart. Just gotta put some flat spots on there and should be set.

[joeyf]

Thats one nice t-case.

[mjderstine]

got it installed. and its solid as a rock. will be testing her this weekend.

also glued a simple styrene box around it for the bigger pieces of dirt.
