But itll have alot the way its goin now.. PLS tell me what you think

Wheels will be painted black and have red rockrings on them, SOON

everything else HOPEFULLY will be in mail tomorrow
ending wheel base will be 17" for sure, it'll be using somethin like a tmaxx shock and tmaxx tie rods for links.

dezfan · 01-01-2006, 05:48 PM

Looking good, definetly need some pics when the shocks are mounted.

D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F. · 01-01-2006, 06:33 PM

clodman · 01-01-2006, 06:37 PM

I got the lights off of a clodbuster rollbar, I had layin around.

clodman · 01-06-2006, 04:47 PM

Brad

clodman · 01-06-2006, 08:35 PM

thats it for now the only things left are Mounting shocks, painting wheels and adding rock rings, and hooking up all the electronics. So another week and it'll be running...if i dont run into a wall or something.

clodman · 01-09-2006, 04:44 PM

I tore it all apart took everything apart all zipties cut(goin to get black zips), anyways i welded on some shock hoops, and made some custom 4 link mounts. Took the door panels,roof off and poot bedliner on them made some custom rockrings(not installed yet) put bedliner on them to, for the look. Will have a rolling chassis by wensday night FOR SURE, ( MAN I AM JUST CHOMPING AT THE BITS TO GO OUT AND CRAWL!!!!!!)
