Ok so I got some paint on the chassis today. I'm about to start tearing down axles and adding beef tubes and hd under drive gears with lockers

Who makes that diff locker you are holding, thats nice!

Damn that's a great chassis very original! Love the build so far.Sand the body with some 600 grit to make it more flat. It'd give it that military look. Just an idea

Will do. if you ever get ready to get rid of it, let me know i might be ready to get back in to crawling again.

Just so everyone knows how good Trenton is at building this is the picture I sent him of what I wanted.

Thanks Boogie for posting the pic of your inspiration! It is very very Saweet!!!! It arrived FedEx yesterday and the pics didn't do justice of how awesome this rig really is. Oh and thank you so much for the ext a parts you sent with it. I didn't know I would get driveshafts and links and T8 motor plate!! Your a great fella. And if I ever do decide to sell the Taco T8 I will let you know first.

It now my favorite in my arsenal. Thanks Trenton for making incredible products. I put it on the scale last night and was surprised that it only weights in at just over 3 lbs. As soon as I get a good camera I will start the build thread. I lost the cord to my smart phone so I can't upload pics anymore.

Yeah on the front links you will need a little bit longer length links and honestly you could push the rear out a little further just to give you a heads up I just wanted to give you am idea of how much wheelbase this thing has. I believe it is set a little over 13 now and needs to be around 13 1/2 or more
