This is has been the slowest build in history I got a little side tracked, Nitro truggy and 1/8 scale RC racing. Caution: Nitro RC racing is addictive and expensive. If I had all the money I sunk into that, My crawler would be finished. Well, enough with the excusses. 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.....
toyminator2000 – There has to be dumb people in order for there to be smart people
Ya, I thought about that. I'm waiting to get a tubing bender. Man are they pricey! I don't mind spending $299 on a bender. Its the dies that are crazy, over $200 a piece. I want a 1.75 and 1.5" die. I really like marlins bumpers, but it seems like that is all you see. I just want to build something different. For the price he charges, you can't really go wrong. 1.5" DOM tubing .120 wall, around here cost $3.40 per foot. If you add the price of steel and the cost of a bender and dies, I see why every goes that route.
