Yeah my springs don't extend as far as the shocks do. I like it compaired to some others I've ran. Only thing Ididn't like about them is the fake resevore as there is no need for it.

Probably not. I just looked it up, it's almost a 7 hour drive one way. Also I work fridays and saturdays, so I couldn't even come up night before. Maybe one in the future when I have more time to plan and take a few days off.

Under stand that.



Well it was a cold and wet morning but I just had to get a video of the test run. The weather cooperated a bit and let the sun shine a little this morning around 10am.

The rocks were wet! Think I cared? Hell NO.

Any way enough of the BS and onto the vid.

If you don't like the music turn it down as I could care less.

It's an Evader tranny locked with JB.


I need a smaller tooth count pinion though. I'm running an 18T at the moment. 12 or smalller would be ideal.

Rockwerks hooked me up with something different for a body.

It's a bit wide but I liked it. More than likely I'll switch from the GMC to this one.

Yeah I just placed the body on top of the GMC one for the pics.

Your an AWESOME guy ive heard by Cory, and dont take this the wrong way, but I think that body is kinda ugly. But its your TLT so dont change it, its just my opinion.

Also, I wish I could have went and showed you how us poor boys do with no brushless, dig or torsion!

Come down her in a month and ill be BL XRC maybe front dig!

I set this thing up right. Did pretty good at the comp this past weekend. Just need to get some driving skills under my belt, I made some stupid mistakes. Live and learn.

The body actually did pretty good for what we were running and helped me stay out of a big hole that even supers were getting stuck in. It's like a pregnant bug body. and the tires tuck up in the body nicely. But I can switch bodies when the fat a$5 truck won't work. Made two runs with this one and one with the GMC.

I have no brushless, dig or anything fancy on this rig and the TQ3 and receiver has a clitching problem. Most likely due to the antena has been cut and fixed a few times (how it came) so I have a new RX on it's way. It never showed any clitching problems until comp day .

Clodcrawlin- when you decide to come to a comp I will personally hand you an as* woopen. Or if I can make it over the pass to craw with the eastern fokes.
