I have taken a few 'creative liberties' and already I feel as if I have spit on the mona lisa
I will not have much time this weekend but I hope to get the tube work done so I can start filling and cleanig the joints

I was actually going to pick your brain on that. I was thinking about the normal BFGs but hilift tires are tempting. I know you have played with both....

I thought about that but I want this rig to perform and the tires need to be at least 7 inches based on the way I scaled everything else out.

Looks great!


But wouldn't the k-rocks work alright if you trimmed out every other row?

I'll just hope Brad and Roger can forgive me for this deviation

Shorty, I am not that fast
Tonight has been measuring and playing with numbers (I am having a lot of fun doing things like that on this build) before I go and start drilling holes. The control points have been great for locating the axles and selecting link length. Tuesday after work the drill comes out to play and then I can start measuring for shocks. My original idea of savage shocks is not looking like a winner.

Calculation and control points? WTF!! I thought it was a crawler, not an IRL car.

You're too easy to pick on Thanks for making the suggestions on my steering issues...still working on it, but it's much better.
