after moving shocks in rear handles and climbs much different keeps the rear wheels planted. Need brass in front just front portal box half. Will help keep it down in uphill climbs. Still got some tuning to do but so far I'm much happier with this rig. With rear shock towers moved on tactical meant the inner fenders section had to come off from stock body but not a big deal in my opinion. Need to find harder trails or wait for winter to be back and conquer them snow banks.  Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk Last edited by Schs2013; 07-27-2018 at 07:39 PM. |

Looking good brotha! Have you decided on a rear cage yet? How's the lighting coming along? Did those spots or strip LEDs work out like you were after?

Everything it powered up by 2 9v batteries in series wiring stacking up the voltage. From the display units I opened. Just need to find a few AA battery trays and I'll be able to start making more progress. Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk | |

Not sitting exactly on the money. Im just thinking I should set shock towers back to stock position. Instead of cutting the Bullhead body any more. But like the angle of the shocks as it helps the rear stay planted a minor flex/Articulation is gained. Think I'll take a few days at campsite just think it over.

Plan of action for the cage. Step 1 remove rear cross member/bumper mount. Step 2 using a Dremel shave/cut enough of c channel to allow tubing to fit in c channel of trx4 rear frame. Step 3 may require to cut a square in prolines fuel cell thing to allow rear cage to sit low as possible in c channel. As fuel tank and shock towers share the same space. Step 4 use one existing hole from rear cross member as a pivot for cage to open access to the battery tray. To make it a little easier is the hope. All this to be done after camping trip next few days.   Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk |

I'm seeing the cage being way short from the top of your body. Whole reason for a cage in my eyes is protection. Just throwing an idea out there. Find a roof rack with the same size plastic rods as cage. Use the proline cage as a base for cage build. Cut up roof rack & add to proline cage with rods from rack. Using the guitar string method I used for my cage. It's pretty strong & holds up to some pretty big falls. If you'd like some more detail on my idea I can probably drawl something up. It's looking good brotha! Have a good time out camping!

It will be ms paint style so please excuse the kindergarten drawing. Wish you had a pic with the cage level & cab on, but I see that might take some cutting to work out. I'll post my idea once I get a min to drawl it up Sent from my SM-S975L using Tapatalk |
