Well I got alot done yesterday.
Thought I'd post some pics.
With these solid Revo lower links and 2 a-arm uppers.
I'm at 14" wb x 11" wide.
I can't find a scrambler / C-J8 body for under 90.00 bucks
So I went with a old LC body.
I still have alot to do, but it's coming together.






The 3 link set up flexes nice!

Thanks for all the positive feed back guys...
I got two problems right now.
With these wheels and adapters my barrel nuts are too long.
So I got the small nylon lock nuts, but they keep coming loose.
Also I need to mount the front servo up high so I can still adjust the
ball joint.


Any suggestions on either subject are appreciated.

Greg

Could you mount the servo under that link mount?

Looking Awesome.

awesome pics GREG, can you put that post in the unimog shop thread too? thanks for the great shots. Truck is looking very nice.

Idea for the servo, make a plate underneath the hood mount the servo upwright and make a drag link down to the axle, then you could use a turned down tlt shock as a steering stabilzer. I know, alittle over the top, but hey, why not.

Go ahead and send it back, I've changed my mind.

Man it looks sweet. Way better than I would have ever thought.

Just mount the servo to one side or mount it facing down.
