Dude, mad props to that man, I really want to build a custom tubed one like that.. I built a homemade stick crawler but never finished it. I've got two sets of clod axles.. The suspension is done, but not the steering. Then I somehow lost intrest or time or both..

I would MUCH rather have a custom build buggy like that, even if it didnt perform like a stick might, It would just be so badass driving it around the campground
