The chassis is a Tamiya Pajero, the kit was discontinued last year but the just released Tourag kit has the same chassis. The body I took from my first Radio Shack truck. The different tires I found at a toy store.

Jim continued work on the steering system today. I flopped the truck on its roof to allow easier access.
 After removing the worn out parts Jim thought of ways to soak up the slop in the linkage post.  Thats when the teflon tape idea shot to his head. He used it to take up the looseness caused by poor machining on his custom bearing supported linkage post.  He slid the slop free post back into place   He inspected the worn Tierod he removed yesterday.  He found that the stock end was rubbing away on the skid plate.  He found the little Traxxas ends left over from my Clod build up.  New vs. Old  He reassembled the tierod ends and drag link and put them back into place.   I helped him button up the rest of the truck so he could start adapting the wheels. Jim dropped the wheel hex into position after centering it with a stub axle and placing a drop of ca.  He then started mixing up some JB Weld.   He welded the wheel hub in place.  He was exhausted after all this work so he got tired and went to the Bruiser. More Later...

Well Jim started on the interior today.
He layed down a trick rubber floor mat  He started work on cushy center counsel arm rest.   By the time I went to grab a soda, Jim had the arm rest done.   He then hauled these parts out of the shop drawer. I was like what are you making?  Yeah right, very funny Jim   A poncho  Oh, a shifter boot I knew that.  Hearing fake vroom vroom car noises Jane, the neighborhood girl decided to stopped in.  Jim described the things that went on this week.   While Jane was looking for a place for the seatbelt retracters to go. Jim was carrying the steering wheel to the next bench.  Jim was distracted  (Jane) "Were you checking me out, Jim?"  (Jim) "Urmm nooo, ok You caught me"  (Jane) "Thats cool I guess, I have to leave, well I have dinner baking in the oven want to come over?"  More later, Jim still isn't back yet...
