Amazing what you set around and think of when waitin on parts,made a $1.00 high lift jack,put a hitch ball on back so figured better make a little trailer to go on back.Just put a new wood floor down in the house,so got a idea for left overs, figure will make a nice deck for the trailer. Will post more pics later.   |

|  Good to go.
Well finished up on the electronics and took her to the retaining wall for some testing and was amazed how it crawled right up the block.Got a little tweaking to do and going to add some rings and maybe a roof rack and some other appearence items, but this one is good to go.Now its time to move to the scaler, after my wallet recovers from this one.     |

| Just some more pics.
Added a few more things and finally narrowed the pede wheels and wow got a extra 2" of articulation.Decided to finish the little trailer and kinda had fun with that, cant wait to get started on a bonified scaler.I just want to thank RCC for having a great site and to all members who have shared their great ideas. Oh and what good is a offroad vehicle without a good trail dog (Tess the blue heeler)    |

I have an SW2 and SW3 that I am building up right now. I am using good ol' TLT axles and Pede trannys.

Oh man seeing those pictures of the SW3, Moabs and a Rubi body makes me want one again... Then I remember how they drove compared to what we have now.  Maybe I will just put a Rubi on my XR10. |

| Re: My first build (SW3)
Shhhhhhh. Don't tell anyone, but yes I am using a SW3 right now in my Sporty comp rig. It does really well against the body less and other rigs. It must be the rig, because I sure can't drive..... I just wish all comp rigs required bodies and then let's see how they do. Still have a SWX in a box too, sign by BD himself. JC |

I'm still rock'n an SW2 with Pede tranny and TLT axles. Built it up back when the Fat rock "C"s were new. Good times.
