Cool buggy, like the doulble tcase crawler.

I got a couple ? if ya don't mind.

What is the wheelbase?

Are you using a 2 piece front drive shaft? (I assume you are)

What is the width of your "frame rails" in the tcase area?

 

[stump jumper]

Thanks man! It has 120 inch wheel base and I can't remember the width of the frame rails when I get it back from the mechanic I will measure it unless Randy remembers and post it.

 

[stump jumper]

And yes it does have a two piece shaft

Good deal, thanks

Also noticed the round tube axle trusses, most people are going to square or rectangle it seems.

Any particular reason? I like the way they look and was planning on round tube on mine (and I have a bunch of pre-cut tabs for 1.75" tube)

What size/thickness did you use on the axle truss?

 

[Bigrocks4x4]

Square would probably be a little stronger, but ive built em square and round and they seem to work fine either way.

Had fun man wished we had more than a couple hours before it got dark yesterday. Yard work stinks lol

paint not powder coat on the chassis? if so then why and what kind of paint? looks sick btw!

 

[stump jumper]

It is r&m paint and the color is race red like on new f150. I painted it for two reasons 1st was it will be easy touch up with perfect color match. The 2nd is that we own a body shop and my paint company gave me all the paint and materials.

Thanks
