My Honcho

[6ranger9]

Just found this section on here and thought id share my honcho.

A lot done to it but not a blingy build..Used some old school know how and some selective upgrades to improve its performance..Its been a wonderful performer for me.

Im sure I left out a few things but that's about it..Everything was to improve actual performance and didn't care about spending a fortune on it for high dollar name brand stuff...Its really a very capable rig right out of the box but as most men do ,they cant leave well enough alone...lol

Cool, I think it would be fun making your own parts for it.

I have a few ideas for making links out of steel, aluminum or carbon fiber... hard to test without a truck though.
