Hmm....IDK...but I think brake line (should in theory) be stronger, because of the immense pressures created by the hydraulics in the brake system compared to the small pressure in the fuel delivery system.

Fuel line is usually bigger in diameter though. Brakes make pressure but usually not immence lol. If you press on the brakes hard enough you'll blow seals in either the master or wheel.

It's easy once you get it going, bends are the hardest part. Mixing in the mounting points for the shocks and link mounts is a little rough too. Brazing is alot easier to do then you thought right?
Chassis looks good, I like the narrow chassis, never been a fan of the wide full width tubers.

Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-25-2007
Thanks Ben, I haven't brazed none of it so far, all mig welded, accually just tacked in place! I've tried to copy everything i've bent up for it so far!
Scale it is then Zack!:joy: Oh yeah lmk when ya get the axles and tranny ready too, and i'll let ya'll know when i'm ready to start your guy's tubers!
Travis, lmk when ya get the axles and tranny
Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-26-2007
Well it's close and i've got a bunch a braces made up and ready to weld in place but might not get time to weld in till the weekend so here's a little teaser of about what it'll look like!
Project Rockcrawler! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 04-26-2007
looks like that madforce came in handy
Project Rockcrawler! - Ponch - 04-26-2007
Very nice! I can see it's coming along well.
Project Rockcrawler! - Jeepguy - 04-26-2007
That looks sick! Great job so far!
Project Rockcrawler! - Racin' Ranger1 - 04-26-2007
Wow!!!
Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-26-2007
Sure did Mike, it might serve 2 projects well, this crawler and a top secret one nobody know's about yet, in time though!
Thanks ya'll, will hopefully git-r-done this weekend!
Project Rockcrawler! - Racin' Ranger1 - 04-26-2007
i thingk im gonna order axles this weekend. you think i could slap a highlift body on it? or what would i need to do a scaler?
Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-27-2007
I think ya could use a high lift body, really any body ya want i'll base it off of it and the axles? Shouldn't be a prob!
Project Rockcrawler! - Racin' Ranger1 - 04-29-2007
where can i get a high lift body?
Project Rockcrawler! - Ponch - 04-29-2007
ebay
Project Rockcrawler! - Racin' Ranger1 - 04-29-2007
