TLT Crawler Questions
I want to build a TLT Crawler from scratch. What would you suggest for the best chassis? Also where is the best place to order accessories and parts? Where can i get a parts explosion for the TLT?

Thanks Southern
Has anyone modded the stock chassis? Cut it up to make is smaller?
Has anyone made their own chassis? What is the best thing to make it out of? What can I use that I am able to cut with a dremel?

RE: TLT Crawler Questions
Well if you are making a tuber then i would say 3/16 brake line would be a good start. You would need a pipe cutter, i personally bought 1/8 in solid wire or steel round to strengthen my joints and longer runs, mapp gas is a nice set up to use for your brazing. I am not sure about modifying the original chassy being worth the trouble. I think if you were to bend your own then you know your truck in and out and how to fix problems. this is a pic of mine after a few beers and a lot of bad words but it is symetrical.......just waiting on parts now.
