| CAMbo35's S-10 truggy build
Im posting this for my friend since he is still waiting on his account activation after a week of waiting... i got the crawler as a christmas gift and as soon as i opened it i started out by removing the shocks and broke them in the process so i deside to go full droop with limiting straps made out of dental floss |

my cat ended up breaking the back half off so i ended up rebuilding it much stronger with the bed sides on it and added a stinger that helps it out alot |

i like how you narrowed the front and rear of the s10. If i didn't look closely, i wouldn't of seen that you just cut the headlights off the grill.
