Hmm, 1 for Christmas, 1 for my birthday, 1 for my 2 yr old daughters birthday(same day as mine), 1 for my wife, yup this is definitely expensive!

I don't know what make or year that body is, but if you can come close to that picture.......you sir, are the master

Been scoutin' around on Parma's and McAllister's websites for bodies like that but it's mostly coupes.

Can it crawl? That's a good question! Still working on placement of things, then I'm still looking for the right stuff to build the rear bumper out of. Thought I had it figured out then scrapped my plans.

And for the sliders, hell I'm too cheap! I made these. Removed the stock stuff and bent this up. Boatsided the body with them. They are too shiny and make the truck look even bigger. But I like them. Gained about 3/8".

Things still to do,

Rear bumper
Mount electronics
Lights! If I can sell some things.

Nothing ever goes to plan. I like the sliders/boat sides. They won't be shinny for too long.

I'm right here, cupcake. Come get me!

Guess I'll have to step up my game, damn crawler noobs are gettin' serious .

The new rig is lookin' good bud. Hopefully we can make another trip down your way and have a good old-fashioned throwdown on the rocks!

Think I've finally figured out what to make my rear bumper out of! Can you guess what it is? Hint, its not a level.


Dawg, do you guys want to plan a trip down to devils lake again? Actually if you guys camped again, I could take you to a couple places.

And don't worry, I'll try not to flip over in front of ya too often! Damn truck got kinda big! I wish there were more options out there for body's and tires.

Repair/rebuild or finish what I already have and maybe break out the N.I.P. (now discontinued) CGR Blazer body and cage for next season . I've got 2 SCX-10 rollers sitting here unused, so who knows what'll happen .
