RE: my first crawler...much customising
I tell you what, NO it's not a highly mod'd rig, compared to others that rockcrawl. But really guys if you mod it to much you dont have the truck you started out with, he cut the axles down, he locked them up, he four linked it, he centered the trans, he made 12mm hexs for it to put on 2.2s, and then he installed the GD-600 ? Plus more. Just how modded do you have to be to get a pat on the back around here ? Hell I might not post my build up of my new Twin Force, "when it gets here" for fear of it getting moved to the Electric truck and Buggy forum as it will not meet you quota as a RockCrawler ! You go Kingcobra.

LOL..Don't pay attention to those guys... Mostly just jealous I'm sure! Post you rig when you are done! We would love to see it! Heck I've seen people post bone stock vehicals on here... You should check out the My Bodies forum... LOL People post pre painted factory bodies on there like they are the coolest thing in the world! LOL...
Seriously though, take peoples comments with a grain of salt. G.

RE: my first crawler...much customising
There really isn't that much customizing compared to a lot of crawlers out there. It looks very stock. Most of the mods you have done are relatively small in the scheme of things. But I'll bet the mods will all work very well. I saw your posts on rccrawler and am wondering where the tube chasis is that you said you were going to make? That would make your customizing statement much more true!
I guess if you want to see serious rock crawlers that are built from the ground up, you should look at rccrawler. There are guys over there like Jason, DirkDigler and JasonFromAgusta that are serious customizers.

RE: my first crawler...much customising
Had to edit the post - lets not have any cussing.
As for the bumper, I think it looks very cool. Just was trying to figure out purpose. Leave it on or take it off, is up to you. I like the look of it.
