Hey everyone, just checking in. One of the guys I work with is heading up to Seneca Rocks tomorrow. He is going to scout around up there for some crawl spots. If he finds anything, i will let you know.

Nitro, Thanks for grabbing those for me, I will get a hold of you.

I'm trying to work out a cantilever setup on my TM3 TLT, will let you all know if it works.

Nitro · 12-22-2006, 08:39 PM

The tlt lives!!!!!!!!!!
It is under its own power now, I have to do some testing to see if I like the setup or not, but I am ready to crawl nevertheless!

Rcnut38; Tell Jason to take lots of pics when they are up there, hopefully he will find some good crawl sites.

Jamus · 12-22-2006, 09:19 PM

Post some pics man. We need to liven up this thread.

Nitro · 12-23-2006, 07:12 AM

I will, I just need to make a few more adjustments.. I also need to get some paint on the shell first.

The rest of you guys need to post some pics, also. So we can see what we are going up against.

Here's my torsion based clod.

Jamus · 12-23-2006, 08:31 AM

Well, here's the best looking pic of my scaler, though it's closer to being done than this.

And here's the future crawler that I haven't recieved yet.

Hoser · 12-23-2006, 11:52 AM

check out this vid. shot off of 340 in harpers ferry. When the river ain't high this place is pretty fun. BTW i'm right below winchester, VA.

Rockbull Test Run

Traylor4x4 I would like to see some action pics of that truck to see what kind of flex that type of chassi has? It is a very cool looking truck!

Jamus, that is a very real looking truck, very cool!

Are you goine to run it, it looks to nice. The other truck looks like an awsome crawler!

It looks like some serious compation, Nitro?

I am working on trying to sale some stuff so I can get started. I am even trying to work a trade with Nitro for a emaxx or a clod to at least get a start on a crawler. I really want a TLT and hope to get one as soon as I get the money.

rcnut38 · 12-23-2006, 01:04 PM

Awesome looking rigs. I am still working on the suspension setup on mine. I don't know if the catilever setup is going to work or not. Going to try a different set of shock and see. I will post some in progress pics as soon as I get time.

JUST WANTED TO TELL EVERYONE HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Hope everyone gets what they wanted from Santa.

I'll definitely run the scaler, especially till I redo the body. The body was used and slightly abused so it's nowhere near as nice as you think. With leaf springs it will be on its sides most of the time. The crawler should be here by new years then I'll tear it down. Ditch the nylint tires, new chassis, 3-links, looking into front dig with locked out rear tires.

Hoser, that place looks great. Perfect type of terrain if you ask me. Weeds, leaves, grass, and all that piss me off most times.

Nitro · 12-23-2006, 09:02 PM

Well I had a few test runs on the rebuilt tlt this evening, not to thrilled just yet, but it is a working progress.

Great looking trucks guys.

Hoser; Great vid, looks like a good place to me.

Rcnut38; Let the rest of us see that new chassis.

traylor4x4 · 12-23-2006, 09:54 PM

Great vid hoser and thats a great spot i crawl there all the time if the water is low,might go in the morning need to scratch that new dodge body

Prime · 12-23-2006, 10:04 PM

Nice trucks guys!! Love the scaler Jamus.

Hoser: Nice vid.

Thats the way my trucks stay....a work in progress lol.

I've seen his TLT. It is sweet looking so far. It is going to make a killer rock crawler.
BTW Frank, did you get the uppers mocked up?

Hoser · 12-24-2006, 08:17 AM

Thanks for the pos. feedback on the vid.
Traylor: Is that a pimp cane or a homebuilt version. looks sick!

traylor4x4 · 12-24-2006, 09:25 AM

homemade stick will have a flex shot in a bit

jeepster26104 · 12-24-2006, 09:38 AM

Hey guys. I am in Parkersburg, WV. Glad to see more people from WV are getting on the board.

traylor4x4 · 12-24-2006, 11:17 AM

What rig you got? I'll put you on the list. Hoser you too, you're close enough to be concidered a mountianeer too.

Jamus · 12-24-2006, 11:44 AM

You people and your torsion sticks have just about sold me on the idea. It still feels like selling out to just ditch all conventional suspension ideas. Oh well, long as it works, and you save on the materials and parts too. I'm looking at S-dogs "x" shaped TS design.

jeepster26104 · 12-24-2006, 11:48 AM

I have a unimog scaler in the 2.2 flavor. I am in the middle of making a homegrown stick. The main truck I run is a tlt based courier.
