All these pics are driven into, no posing....

It's funny this thing is VERY capable.... The only thing is the darn front shaft keeps slipping out. I will have to figure something out about that. It did awsome!!! Got to make some skid plates too. I scratched the he!! out of my links and everything else but the transfer case and the axles got caught on a few jagged edges, especially the transfer case. I think if it would have had a skid plate it would have done better.

Here is the Jeep looking over the rock pit

Made it to the top again:

Here's the pit by itself:

This is what I like to call Rock and Roll... If you look at the rear end, it is up on a Rock that it rolled over as it was running over it.

Notice the front shaft popped out... That sux, cause it happend probably 20 times while I was crawling.

nice truck, did you have pics of the buildup of it?

jwrape · 03-07-2005, 08:06 AM

Ask and you shall receive.

That was the build up but I have changed little things here and there as i found that it needed it. It's pretty rock solid except for that front shaft. i think if i turn the axle up towards teh transfer case more it will help the shaft stay in. It's such a short shaft it wants to come out when the front end articualtes.

I am buiding another one like it except it is Desert Tan and the entire suspension and driveline except for the TLT axles will be different. Different transfer case, different gear reduction, different 4 link suspension setup, different shock mounts... Should be cool. It's starting to come together now.

Yea, I thought it looked cool too. That was a freebie from my Computer friend. But you can find them all over Ebay for $2-3.

Looks cool, but the driver fell out somewhere down the trail lol.

Yea, he cracked his head on a rock. We had to leave him behind. He was whining too much.
