i was confused also lol.

great build i really like how low it is and still full bodied,mostly.

Yeah I like the look of almost full bodied, hopefully I can refrain from destroying it to bad!

Looks good man. I'm sure you have plans for this already but are you gonna add more to the front bumper? Just looks kinda unfinished...

oh yeah! there is alot of tubework that needs to be done on this rig, I will be adding more.

Quote from: yota_krawler on Apr 11, 2010, 10:15:01 PM

i agree, needs more to it. But i really like it. why the mesh tho? whats next on the list?

the mesh is to protect my radiator fan. If i didnt have that mesh in there and I hit a bird or somethin while cruising down the road, it would go right through my electric fan and probly bust the radiator open too! I dont need any of that mess to deal with. Well next on the list is to finish the sheetmetal on the very rear section under the tail lights (will be working on that tonight). Then I need to do the sheetmetal around the fuel tank so it is seperated from the inside of the rig, then I need to cut a bit of my firewall out and tub it for a liitle more tire clearance.

for not liking sheet metal you do a pretty damn good job the tubbed rear looks way legit dude

thanks guy!

thanks dudes! I have some more pics to post here after dinner. I just added some flare to the front bumper

pumkin toy · « **Reply #1154 on:** Apr 14, 2010, 08:20:55 PM »

added some plate to the front bumper. I cut them to fit at home, then took them to work and punched the holes. looks pretty cool, I like the speedhole look. I scuffed it up and primed it then painted it all.

Nice!

Well we went wheelin last night. One of the local trails that is still open this time of year, is finally not buried in snow any more. I dont have any pics cuz my camera died basically right when we got there

I know Douglas got some and so did Josh and Derek, so hopefully I can get some from them soon! I am completely stoked and happy with how the runner performed

It flexes great, feels stable and the 230:1 crawl ratio combined with lots of torque from my engine is absolutely amazing

I feel like it would idle right up a brick wall! I did some sections with pretty big boulders that I would have had to use the throttle alot in my orange truck. The runner just idled through everything, the only time i had to use the gas, was when I was getting bored cuz i was going to slow

Oh and the diff clearance with the 40's is exciting! i drove right over stuff that I would have gotten hung up on very badly before. I have a couple videos, but they arent that great, I might upload one to youtube so ya'll can check it out.

swapped89 · « **Reply #1160 on:** Apr 16, 2010, 09:41:18 AM »

Sounds like a good time. That's great all your hard work paid off so well! Stoked to see pics or a video

I cant believe they didnt fall off!

pumkin toy · « **Reply #1163 on:** Apr 16, 2010, 11:24:03 AM »

here are the only vids my buddy got, before the camera died. they arent the greatest. I think we are going back to the same trail tomorrow with our club, so I will try to get some better footage tomorrow
