Why do you call it a Bruiser when all you have is a frame?

Nothing else is from a Bruiser. TLT axles, pede trans, traxxax shafts....


It's just rediculous. A frame does not make it a Bruiser
 
i may not have one but i agree with dtp, the bruiser chassis does not = a bruiser, maybe a rule "must have two or more major original peices (i.e. chassis, axles, tranny, body)"
 
For the same reason JP magazine features a rig with 2 1/2 ton axles, a Chevy motor, Chevy transmission, Atlas T-case, coilover shocks, and calls it a Jeep.

Cuz it has a Jeep part on it (the body in this case), therefore it must be a Jeep.:lol:

Not that I have anything against Garth's rig, it's bad azz, but I don't see what Jeep part contributes to it's performance.

Not to change the topic of this thread. But, nice new avatar Griz.
Back to topic. I wish I could afford a Bruiser. All you guys with built Bruisers, my hat off to you.

Duh, don't you know the emblem makes all the difference. Like when you own a beat *** Honda and you put the "R" badge on it... Thats like a 40hp boost, and shaves at least 3 seconds off your 1/4 mile time.


But seriously, that Jeep is damn sweet.
 
well what dictates what the rig is classed as, the chassis or axles? if i had a bruiser based rig its easier to call it a bruiser than a bruiser frame'd, tlt axle'd, R2 trans'd, traxxas radio'd and shaft'd scale rig. "thumbsup"

i agree though, just because you use a bruiser frame dosnt make it a bruiser.

I concur "thumbsup"

Like I said to each their own right? I think a chino clone is still pretty Bruiser like. Uses the frame, body, leafs and all, just a different axle and trans
 
I have one original Bruiser screw in each of my rigs, therefore I can say I have as many Bruisers as 1BJB. Freeking Bruiser pimp
 
hmm, so i guess that makes my left over bruiser nuts and bolts worth a pretty penny. anyone interested in converting your rig to a bruiser?
