I figured it was just something I missed. Getting blind in my old age . I wish I would have seen these before as the ones I have are a little big. These should be just right.

I think it's about as good as I can get it. Should be perfect with the new tires.

I was looking at the hubs and I think I might see if the bolt pattern is the same as an rc4wd 6 bolt. I just don't know if I can trust 3d printed hubs.

Next is mud flaps I think. I have been printing a few bumpers and possible tail light housings.

Yep, those look good!

That headache rack came out perfect, just the right touch from a rear perspective.

Thanks, I thought about adding some mesh to the center section but I think I'm going to leave it alone.
