This build is going slower than Marlin's triple case crawler :turtle3: :shake: I got a little side tracked, Nitro truggy and 1/8 scale RC racing.  Caution: Nitro RC racing is addictive and expensive.  A set of tires and wheels are $100. I don't even want to talk about a set of shocks.  The race motor (Novarossi .28) for the truggy cost more than a rebuid kit for a 22re. If I had all the money I sunk into that, My crawler would be finished.  Well, enough with the excuses. I install an Aussie locker in the front.  Rebuilt the front axel while I was in there. Made a cross member for the transfer case, so I could raise it 2".  I also raised the motor 2" by fabricating some motor mount lift blocks(just like the one 4crawler sells).  I got the marlin sliders installed.  Now, I am building a rear bumper.  Pics to come later..... :beerchug:
