Looks like I didn't need to clear it so much for for the front drive shaft, but all the important stuff is covered. It sucked to make, hard to set up and look at. It will get the job done.

Also, flexed out the front to full droop and my drive shaft is good to go.
 
I think that is the next part of this trilogy....lol
 
Drove it up a tree, daughter was so excited I did it, she had to take pictures...

Weird.


Have fun at the Badlands man. I should be ready to rock in a few weeks myself. Startin' to get the itch to wheel again.

She is almost 8. I drove up the tree and she came running to get my phone, it was awesome. Then she took my phone inside and showed mom and sister, lol

Weird.

Not weird... I think it is so cool that our kids love our trucks. You must be proud of your daughter Kyle, bet she helps out in the garage too.

My son has been helping me in the garage since he was 5.

Sounds good to me. I shot my material supplier an email for a quote today. If I don't get a reply by lunch time tomorrow I'll give em a call. All I have to do is build my sliders and I'm ready.

I know, but I couldn't let that opportunity pass. haha

I have a small video I need to upload yet also. Truck did great, when everywhere I pointed it, just straight worked. No issues with drive shafts either :woot:


2 things I still need to figure out, engine loads up at idle speed and I lose reverse when I am at high angles so sometimes I cant back down obsticals.


Gonna start the cage next, should be more fun after that!
