Default My New TLT

Well I got ahold of a tlt once again. It is mostly built already from Mriswith. I am finishing/refining it. I have: mounted a better servo, redid the steering setup. changed out the stinger for a p2k but that sucks so a lathe is in order, i also changed out the body posts to put my jeep on there instead of the f650. Not that the ford was bad, but it rubbed and i didnt have the heart to chop it up.

On to the pics:

UPDATE: Ok. Today I: made rear lock-out high clearance, installed integy piggybacks, adjusted the shock position, and lowered the body. The COG is pretty good now. I have some ideas in mind to make it even better.
