| sloppy's trail finder2
well got mine it About a hour or so of build time. Really nice kit all the dope baggys are labeled with the size, everything fits together really well.. I opted for maxx shafts right from the start to save myself some frustration.. also added the ubolt kit gonna try a puller in it. I need to fix this somehow the shocks dont clear the ubolts, I think a spacer and a non lock nut will fix it though.. |

good luck clearing the spring plates...been friigin with the set up on mine trying to get it to work but no luck, looks like you have the same u bolt kit I have, seems like many others running them have black spring plates where ours are silver. youre going to need about 10mm of spacer on the bottom and close to the same on top, I thought it was a little much...Good Luck and I hope you get it figgured out so I can steal your idea!!!

I started installing the dinky interior kit.. I removed the big aluminum plate floor and just heated this up and shoved it down.. worked OK not real pretty. I am using the interior for body mounts.. its pretty rigid once assembled I installed a couple 3mm grub screws |

Nice! was there a reason you didnt use the stock dash? I have the Dinky kit too and was planning on bastardizing the dinky kit with the stock dash and a styrene floor with a similar set up to mount the body, what seats are you running?

I fixed the bed I think it was to long Personally I would like to go shorter but I didnt want to hack the frame just yet.. drew up a core support/front body mount. And started to add some color to the interior. | |

the bed looks just about perfect IMHO, not sure if I could bring myself to hack up the frame....the core support looks good too!

Made up the front core support I had to take about a 1/4" out of it. guess I should have measure more cut down and with the radiator installed I also flipped the shackles.. Now I am going to bake | |

Do you know the part # on the maxx shafts you used? Have to do anything special to mount them?

| Re: sloppy's trail finder2 No I dont know it sorry.. On the axle end I had drill out the plastic yoke since they are made with double flats like the tranny side.. also you need to either grind down the grub screw pin for the axle side or use a pede size grub screw pin thing..
