New can back!


Let me know what you think.


Additional pics, Jim and I can't decide to leave the back open, closed or install a window. When it comes to video time the wireless drivers camera can be hidden nicely.




Here is the electronic end of the truck, looks like a massive maze of wires. Really, just a bunch of hack electronics in order to get the Jim truck moving in the comp. The ESC's are currently in the way of proper fitment of the body. As you can see in the above pics the body was elevated. That should soon change soon as Jim plans to order some tiny LRP Runner A1 waterproof escs. Really they are the only thing that will survive the submarine action this truck will soon see.

More progress today...

Jims dad came out to help work on the truck today. He's built like Danny Devito, he helped Jim trim the rocker panels down.


After cutting the rockers off they trimmed off the factory body mounts.


They went back to work sanding the rockers smooth.


The bed sides have some holes and slots left in them from the giant ricer spoiler that used to mount there.


Not having any JB weld in the shop Jim called his neighbor Clark.

Jim: Yo Clark you wouldn't happen to have any JB weld I could use would you?
Clark: Sure I have some half used tubes in the garage you can have, I'll be right over.


Jim: Hey, thanks for bringing some out Clark, all the hardware stores are closed.


Clark: No problem, The truck looks to be coming along great.


Jim:Yeah she's got 35" Boggers with a 6 inch lift, I hope to one day go on a big week long offroad expedition.


Clark: Gotta go guys!


Jim: Clarks a nice guy, but I think he must shop for clothes at The Salvation Army or something.
Dan: Yeah, he was dressed sort of odd.
Jim: He never hangs around much either.
Dan: Lets mix up some JB.


Dan: There, all done now we just have to wait for it to dry.


More later....
