Box of groceries. Bigfoot is getting ready to hit the road.
I don't have the heart to tell him the roof rack is on back order. I'm not letting him drive it until the rack is on.

Wow, that's coming along very nicely !!!

I've been lurking since you started posting again, you are doing an excellent job. Your build actually made me want to improve mine there for awhile, but then I thought naw. ....I'll keep mine bare, or tear it down !!

Really digging the plaid interior.

Again, great job !

Thanks. I appreciate that.

It's just about done. Still need to install electronics, lights, winch and roof rack. That's all ordered though, so hopefully soon.

The next "free" task is working out some inner fenders. I've got an idea but just need to make it work. I really want to hide as much stuff as possible.

I've realized I ended up with a "trail" rig, not really a Tough Truck. I'll have to build something else to beat on.

Beat on it anyways, it's a volvo !! The car that thinks it's a truck.

There is nothing wrong with a trail rig, makes for a nice slow leisurely hike. Once you get it out and running, it will be fun, mostly because it's a lifted wagon. There is something about it out on the trails, it's hard to explain....but you will soon learn.

Bigfoot wanted the floor pan undercoated.

Got the headlight and taillight lens out. Waiting on LED's. Hopefully I can pull off putting in lights.

All sorts of nice custom details on this volvo.

Look forward to seeing it run in the G6.."thumbsup"

I'm glad I got back on it. I got frustrated and had to walk away. I'm glad I did though, this time I've really been energized.

I'm hoping to get a shake down run before the G6.

Ordered some LockedUp RC Ultra hubs for the front and back. Those should help with the look.


Installed the inner fender panels.

Inner fender in.

Good some goodies.

The electronics tucked nicely in Hitec box. Even the winch controller fit.

That looks very nice !

The winch fits better than I expected, great job. Too bad we can't run them together, that would be awesome.

Thanks.

The winch is way bigger than I realized. It'll be alright though.

We need to shoot video and have someone mix them together.


I hope to have all the wiring done today. It's actually done now, just need to make one more solder.
It takes me for ever to plug one to a battery for the first time. I always get nervous.

I'm down to putting on the roof rack once it gets here, and putting in the lights.

Ordered my krawlerkonceptz plates this morning. Arkansas plates that say BIGFOOT.

For the rear windows (black panels), I want to have a sticker made up the says;

World Wide Sasquatch Research.

1-800-BIG-FOOT

Do it in an oval shape. Make it like a company logo.

Plates for the Volvo coming from Krawler Konceptz.

 

[Emarknot]

The plates are cool, I like them.

That could work too (logo idea).

Also, since you didn't panel the rear door windows due to the interior, there are clear styrene sheets available. You could use that to make windows to help keep the dirt out.
