Put a few fallout vehicle accessories and a set of 4.75 2.2 tires I have had for ever.

Very unique take on the Defender!

Nice use of the Ascender cage section...

I figure those rare, old-school Imex tires will last forever... never was a fan of their oversized (monster-truck) offerings, but those suit your apocalyptic ride quite well!

They work surprisingly well besides the steering isn't as good as the stock ones. Not sure if I am going to keep them on but it definitely adds to the fallout vehicle look.

Thanks!

Installed some SSD beadlocks with Proline BF Goodrich KRAWLERS (1.9” in Predator super soft compound).

I was hoping to use the stock tyres but I must have wrecked the bead when I tried to heat the glue off the rim - one seemed stretched. The stock foams were trashed too so I’m running single stage foams by Proline.

I was a bit concerned at how baggy the tyres were on the foams but the look and perform great!

Finished up the pickup body mod to my defender and slapped on my custom license plate. Over all happy with my work but overall it could have been done much better. Guess it was just a practice run for the next custom defender body I hack up.

Default What did you do to your TRX-4 today?

I installed a 9T pinion gear just to see how much better it crawled. It was better for trail hikes and rock scaling. More torque was nice. But wow is it noisy! The gear mesh is perfect but my rigs slight whirring sound is replaced with a whinny squeel
Not sure the annoying noise is worth the trucks increased crawl ability.

The 9t pinion is not causing the noise, poor gear mesh is the issue. I run 9t pinions on all five of my TRX4s and not one of them is any louder than they were stock. You just need to fine tune your pinion mesh.

Yes your right. I found the pinion was ever so slightly off and wore the corners of the spur gear. I adjusted it and it’s much lower noise now. I ordered a new spur gear just to be safe. Thanks

When out crawling at a local spot with a buddy from the forum. Was a great time! All crawl weekend videos will start being posted tonight or tomorrow.

All crawl weekend kinda got washed out, but still got some crawling in.

Didn't get to shoot as much footage as I wanted, but managed to get enough for this one.
