Gotta love the geos. I run them on my scale rigs. The rear pipe bumper looks cool, a definite redneck touch!

I love all the little touches you put on it... bumper....exhaust...geolanders with rock rings and the paint is nice too! My question is how well it drives with all the links the way they are now? Do the axles track straight or do they wander back and forth? All my multi-link trucks and all the ones I remember seeing have to be triangulated some way or have a track bar to keep the axle in line. I apologize if I am missing something and I am not trying to offend anybody cuz I really like the truck. I myself have a lot of fords, 1:1 and scale.

bobtail74, i guess its hard to tell in the pics, but the links are triangled, only about 1/2 inch, but its enough to keep it straight. seems to be strong. thanks for the comments.

| Everybody Wants A Scale Tlt, Big Deal  EVERYBODY WANTS A SCALE TLT, WOOPI DOO. Maybe if someone would list my drift car on Ebay--- I could afford to make one. Nice TLT by the way, where did you get the idea for the rear bumper- ***. Hope you crash and burn. |

those types of straight tube bumpers are pure redneck from thousands of 1:1 mud trucks from back in the day (and probably today too some times)

That is a cool looking ford. I'm pretty new to the board and am reading all I can and learning all I can about the TLT buildups on here. Can't wait to get started on mine. BTW very nice custom mods you put on there with the bumper, exhaust etc.
