and i think some sort of rear container would be easy to accomplish if you wanted to go that route, but the flares make for an easy mounting spot for a flatbed too. Throw a couple half fuel drums along side the dogbox or spares. it would be trick.

I thought about putting a missile on it. Beavis with a nuke!

Haha. I'd have to paint it red for a proper red rocket.

Beavis lost his licence. Was he replaced with the Holiday Buggy Driver?

A missile? At launch angle above the cab? In transport?

My OCD wouldn't let me keep the cab. I couldn't get clean enough seems.

So it's that time of year again and the trx4 needs a rebuild from the kids mud running all summer so I decided to cannibalize the trx4. Stole the body and brushless system.

Beavis will still be the driver probably. Thinking about a wrecker boom. Hmmm

The new cab definitely looks somewhat more conventional. It’s always more rewarding when your efforts have a seamless appearance, but the Beavis mobile definitely had a levity to it

No desire to build a long flatbed for it?

I'm going to finish off the rear yet. With the weight I would have to get rid of the wheel wells if I still want decent performance with a flat bed. Also before I would do a flat bed I would have to rig up a cantilever shock set up. I may also tie the axles together so it acts like a proper leaf spring pivot.

I have a run coming next weekend so I have to have it ready.

I was also starring at a Revo 3.3 trans and was like a little 4stroke in it with a stack billowing smoke would be pretty cool. It could happen.

Well after last night's run, I decided I needed a little more exciting pilot to handle the brushless.

So I let the kids play with the 6x6 and they some how smashed the front of the mog body apart.

I decided to change the body again and this is where I am now. Lots more to come.
