i think(well until he changes his mind again)krylon's metal cast green it's sort of like a candish color and the cage well yall just have to wait on that- i dont think we have give this away yet?

[jokers_toys]

Who's really grounded here, him or you? j/k

[FATBOYrs10]

it's him im on the computer and he's in his room, lookin at the walls-i just dont work on it unless he's there to supervise-he tried to get me to go ahead and do some brazin last nite, but i just didnt feel rite doin it without him thats why this whole build came about, we needed more well spent time together

I'm really likeing this build especailly me being a Toyota guy! I definitely think you should drop the stinger height too tall needs to be slightly taller then the hood. Tube work is fantastic, LOVE the front bumper! I would see if it's possible to put some shorter shocks on it and lower the ride height down a bit. or weld you in some shock mounts that are higher. Looks good can't wait to trail ride with it.

thanks mr. ed, for the comments this is are first go at it, we are leanin towards some different shock mounts espeecially in the rear and i agree the stinger looks tall as hell in the pics but thats how he wants it and it doesnt really look that high/bad in person! you know what they,the man drivin/builin it is the only one who has to like it!

u sure can it's actually made from 3/16" cold roll solid tubin, the stinger,bumper, and themain frame rails are all mig welded together... should take any abuse the boy throughs at it!!

well we finally got all the tubin bent and mocked up, we had to do the family thang today(oh yeah the boy got his grades up)so we didnt get it brazed, but it's lookin like i'm goin to get rained out tomorrow so if i do i will get it done and have some new pics for yall....thanks for watchin tho!!

thanks man. we did get the steerin servo mounted, we just moddified the stock plate a little and mounted it back to the axle-we didnt like all the bumo steer it had if we mounted it up high in the frame rails

[Docwolf]

yeah that is the only thing keeping me from frame mounted. in a 1:1 it's one thing when you can feel the pull and compensate, but on a scaler, it's another story. i just can't get over how good that fame looks.

[FATBOYrs10]

hey fellows i just got back in from brazin everything up/together, workin on gettin pics together, will post them up soon

[FATBOYrs10]

well?!,here it is, i'm very pleezed with it myself, it is my first attempt at this, and my son, well lets just say, he just cant wait! tell us what you think!
