Well got a few things ordered for the truck today.

Another set of 2.2 Axial wheels with the green slotted rock rings. To hold on a set of Moabs so I can switch back and forth.

Gmade Wideners

CVD's

Bearings for the TLT axles

Another Baja Bug body - Sending it to Nluvwithxlr8ing to get sick-ta-fide (thats right I made that up )

And a Castle Link cable to adjust my Mamba.

Should have it all in for this weekends crawl in Omaha.

Well the CVD's didn't come in for this weekend but I still did some crawling.

I put the green rock rings on and installed the GMade wideners. I am going to wait to install the bearings untill the CVD's arrive.

Here are some pictures from the day. It was a lot of fun to run with the Omaha guys. I only took pictures of my own truck, oops. I took some video also, I need to edit it though.

Here is my favorite

HAHA, Freakin halarious.

The yota is the infamous "Green Submarine" it belongs to Jay "Theclodking"

A young kid was standing by watching and Jay just let him drive the yota pretty much the whole time. The kid beat the crap out of it and it Jay just let him keep trying to conquer his lines.

And damn right I drive that V Dub in the background!

I do not know, but I would guess he has some pretty nice offers for it.

It is an awesome truck.

I know the guy that owns it and he is a real jacka$$. The few times I have dealt with him have made me want to smack him. His builds are crap anyways, you should see the truck in person. What a piece, you wouldn't want it.

Well since Kevin dropped the news today, these will be the next addition to the crawler. They are my clocked axle C design. Kevin should have them available soon through TCS, www.tcscrawlers.com

Josh, thats funny you getting a pic of me in the Cap'in stance since I have been sober for 27 months now

I got to drive this truck for about 40 minutes last weekend, all I can say is it is VERY well setup and crawls great. About the only thing I would change is give it a bit more wheel speed.

I TOTALLY forgot about that, we even talked about too! A little ironic.

I completely agree on the wheel speed, after driving the plastic fantastic I definetly want more wheel speed. I ordered two 7 cell 1500 elite packs from chris at cheapbatterypacks.com on monday or tuesday. I havn't gotten them in yet but I am sure they will be here soon. Then I am going to get a few new pinions to test out, 9t, 10t, and 12t probably.

I took all that video that day and for some reason windows movie maker can't get a codec to read it. I really don't feel like posting the unedited stuff but I may have to.
