Default Another N.F.G with a TLT

So of course I've been lurk'n for a while now, figured I'd put my TLT buggy out there even though it has to be one of ugliest I've seen on this forum but it works good for me. This is my junk in all of it's many stages as I'm sure many of you can relate with the process.
This was the first set up



Running another Nylint body with the belly of the TLT chassis cut up and stuffed my RC10 tranny in there plus refined the suspension.





This set up is the one I'm running now and so far so good even though the battery is my back up and my bead locks are waiting for new bigger tires plus some Gmade spacers .

I fixed your tags so the page wasn't 5 miles wide Shrink your pics down a bit please

I kinda like some of the things you got going with the tube work. A few little tweeks would make them allot better. ANYTHING's better than running a dam Jeep body

how does that skidplate on the axles work for you? seems like a decent idea but kinda looks like it might hang up a little bit.

WTF? Dork Vader....leave it alone. You keep undoing the edit making the post 5 miles wide. Do it again and I'll delete it.

Learn how to post pictures! Make them a little smaller!

It gets me bye untill I can justify spending $120 bucks on axle housings for my little toy. And no the skid plate doesn't hang up, it dose'nt wrap underneath, just covers the front.

That was a heim joint off the shift linkage of a 65 GTO. Just a tad ghetto but it worked at the time.
