Default Great run today

Hat tip to CODYBOY for making me up some beeftubes to see if it would help my sidehilling so that I can stick with my full interior Blazer that I like so much.





All installed and ready to go. Did a 3 hour, 3 mile trail with it today and boy did this help keep me from rolling over sideways. The difference was night and day.



Now if I can just shift some weight out of the back to keep from flipping over. Too much scale junk in the trunk! Thinking of moving the spare forward a bit.

You mean on the sliders? They are narrowed stock sliders wrapped in enamel coated sheet steel. The center skid is the stock Vaterra skid.

I might as well just build my own too. Since there really isn't anything in aftermarket support for wheel base 3. Since I decided to go with a jeep Cherokee body on my build

Glad the weighted beef tubes did the trick for you, I will finish up 4 more this afternoon and have them available for anyone else who may like to try them.
