A++ . She turned out "Super" nice! Excellent paintjob and color scheme, black'n'blue was a great choice. Hopefully Santa has some Pitbulls set aside for you, then it'll be unstopable . I think I have all the parts that fell off my truck from today...now where's that glue? |

Looks sharp. I actually did some work this weekend. Got the inside all painted up Friday. Dragged everything out into the garage tonight so I could lay down some OD green on the outside, and was waiting for the air compressor to shut off, and my airbrush fell off the bench and broke. |

Meh, $25 Harbor Freight special, not really what you'd call emotionally attached to it.

After seeing how nice the Honcho cagebed looks enclosed, I stumbled on this from DinkyRC. Not sure how it would line up with a Chevy cab, but I might have to "steal" your look, Super!

Got a new airbrush. Harbor Freight lowered the price down to $19.99 and hid 'em on the top shelf, but I found 'em. I wasn't really planning on getting the whole thing done, but I was just havin' so danged much fun....... Had I taken my time, the woodlands camo would have come out much better. C'est la vie'! I got one more thing I need to get done, brushing flat black on the trim. And I got one more thing I'd really like to get done, would love to get some SeaBee masks done so I can put Bees on the hood and tailgate. Enough babble,babble,blah,blah,blah.......... on with the pics! |

Okay, I'm calling it done. Got called into work on my day off, figured I'd make use of the retention pond out front. Kinda wished I'da had a wheelman there so I could get some video on the phone, but still had some fun. |

Looks great, hopefully we'll be able to do some trail runs with you either here or out your way. Super and I must've logged a hundred miles worth of runs in the last few months...sure would be nice to have another wheeler in the group .

| 2013 Tuber build
As promised, here's some shots of the 2013 tuber (roller). I used the last pair of axles I had on hand. WK axles *front/rear steer*, Axial trans, MIP D-shafts, Team Zero comp shocks, Revo ends/8-32 rod/alum tube, and various odds and ends.

Looking good! I might have to try rear steer now too (Gotta be like the cool kids) I took the axles apart on the "toooober" to look them over and clean "em up. It was a good thing I did, rear gears were shot. Re-wiring the lights so they all stay on. |

Lights, yes! My baby needs some skins too. And probably snow chains by the time it's done . Hopefully it's as capable on the rocks as yours. The rear steer idea was something I've wanted to try...might be handy for crawling or just fun to mess with.
