[QUOTE="Trailtoy1993, post: 1334786, member: 16430"] Well, my nephew got himself a Daihatsu Rocky for next to nothing and then picked up a Toy axle at the swap meet. So, he's a pretty good kid that hasn't had the best childhood, so I try and give him as much support and positive influence as I can. Yesterday since my roll cage job never showed up, we decided to to go ahead and do the solid axle swap on the little thing. First, we took it wheeling at Evan's Creek Saturday for his first ever wheelin trip as a driver. AND FLOPPED IT! Unfortunately, I had left the camera at camp so didn't get any picks of the flop but it was soft and I did get one action shot of him.
