More cosmetics  .Decided I couldnt live with the steering. Leafs were allowing the axle to swing thus cuasing a loss in steering... 3 link added  Built my own lower link brackets at the chassis.  Also built the pan hard bracket at the chassis  |

Your bobbed bed and topper is plain sick. I have been wanting to do that for awhile now. Get Goldwings tummy tuck skid and loose that anchor  |

Thanks, that mod looks real simple. I checked it out after you mentioned it, I may give it a shot on my own. I also have another idea gleaned from another member that I may try. I will say this, driving this truck with its limited abilities is part of the fun for me. I have comp specific trucks that perform very well and they are fun in there own right. That said, I do expect a certain level of basic performance from any rig, the ability to turn is one of those must do things lol Last edited by hotwheels000; 09-03-2015 at 03:33 PM. |

Thank you, yes it is, I have had the model for 25 years. It replicates a 1:1 I owned with exagerated lift and tires.

Nice build so far. Here's another skid option that works very well: http://www.shapeways.com/product/WLL...ionId=57595156 I ran the prototype for several months, and I just put the production version on. It works with the single-speed and 2-speed and doesn't hang on anything. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Original box is long gone, I think put the model on top of it to paint  I do know there is a very simular blazer model out there still. |
