bling... but lose the skid plate thing... its not needed. and ditch the servo saver, also not needed. thats not a very strong servo, couple that with the servo saver and you've got no steering in tight places.

Very nice!

I too would lose the skid as it reduces ground clearance.

A servo w/ a much high torque rating and an aluminum servo horn will greatly increase your steering ability.

Those axles look like Inetrc axles!? Not quite sure though. Inet sells some cool suspension stays for the tlt. They are threaded on one side. No need for a nut. pretty sweet but 20 for set of 4. I think.

How's the fit and finish? Do the bearings, diff, and knukcles all fit in with proper clearances??? I assume something more than just the screws locate the two halve together...

I built a plow for my scaler, using aluminum, some old turnbuckles and stock TLT suspension stays. It's 4-linked and mounted to the bottom of my front axle. I use the winch to lift it up and down. I added a steel blade to the bottom of the plow, for weight and to help stop the blade from bending. I don't have pics of that up yet.
