Thanks gents. Yeah I love these little rigs, so small light and easy to work on, I'll probably have this one forever until it gets chopped up and buggied.
Shane I had a lot of fun with the low stance big tires, but it was rub city, and I went through 2 front diffs in about 2 months. The stock casing just couldn't handle the force of spinning those big meats. Has all the clearance in the world now, and no strength issues so far, though I am a fairly gentle driver. It does amazing on the trails, it actually blew my mind how adding decent suspension travel over the limited IFS actually made a world of difference. Still open/open for now so that is my most limiting factor, but it does pretty good due to the wheelbase and weight.
Haven't wheeled in quite a while actually, really itching to get out there. I'll keep my eye out if there's any runs going on locally (she won't do over 70km/hr xD)
Right on. Nice to see all the hard work go to good hands.
Now that this build is done, and BeRadical has got black beauty running nicely, all the good reading material is gone!
Did you end up selling it? Could have sworn I saw it up for sale a while back.
That looks awesome, I'll have to add it to my list.
That's right, I think I remember that. You guys were rolling with the dude from Sooke in the red solid axle blazer that day.
