Looks good, but with all that work you should treat yourself to some real crawler tires and wheels. I can't imagine those tires will grip much of anything.

Looks sweet but I agree that some quality crawler tires and foams will finish the deal.

yes for sure ....i got the savage tire in front and crapy radio shack in back .....im whaiting for 2 other savage tire ....i remove the foam inside and cut in star shape....the tire is verry soft but i know is not a crawler tire ..loll ...i do some test first ...if the truck run good i put some money on it ....but the first test inside and in the snow was verry good ...but whit the radio shack in back a can make some good test (verry bad tire )but for now is better this one than nothing

but for all crapy parts i have in my stock ...this thing look not bad at all and the performance is better than i imagine !!!

Awesome man! Love the ingenuity, and thinking outside the box! Looks good. I'm sure you'll get it tuned in after a few packs!
