Truggy Build

[Jester]

With the 39s at 30psi truck is 7'1" to top of exo and has 29" of belly clearance.

29" of belly clearance is pretty awesome!!!!!

Are you sure its too tall?

Depending on where the lift is holding the rear of the truck, it may be taking some weight off the front.

and it looks like you dont have any tubing on the front end either or a winch so that might lower it some.

Belly:

That looks like the measuring stick the state trooper used on my truck!

 

[Jester]

Progress,progress...glad one of is making some! I need to come see it in person

Your welcome anytime. You got my phone number?

I actually threw a M8000 on the front (it didn't do much), but you are right. Tubework, radiator with fluid, battery, bumper, etc will add up. I also think the springs will settle some.

Glad I did this before I welded all the rear tube on (Good idea Cam). Still a bit of a guessing game, but not as much as before.

Yeah, I'd be in a bit of trouble too if they broke out the stick on me right now too. Might have to get some adapters to put the Mini's wheels on this if I ever drive it on the road.

Yup...

yeah my ome springs on the 60 settled a few inches after a bumper and winch and a few suspension flexes.

My brother came over Saturday and Cam on Sunday and gave me a hand turning blue tape into steel tubing.

 

[Jester]

Cam sweltered much of the tube for me. It would have taken me days. Thanks dude.

Rear view.

 

[Jester]

It's really starting to take shape.

So is this thing going to be ready for fall crawl?
