Hopefully the shocks and tires will be here soon. Still have to pick up the body.

We all know how metal on plastic shouldnt be. It wears fast and isnt that durable. Well heres my solution to the tlt's metal on plastic knuckle screws.

All ax10 parts, the bushings are from the knuckles as well as the screws. I did use button screws for the bottom to keep the screws from hanging up.

Bushing fits nice and snug.

I bet I know what color you're gonna paint it.

And I've never had much trouble with slop in the kingpins. i usually break the housing before they wear out :'( But that's a good idea anyway.

Blue, most likely. Maybe strip the blue on the rings, paint the rims black and the body red. Who knows.

I've never broke a housing myself. Always wore the thing out. A while back I know there was a hole worn into the diff cover. Man I ran it alot.

Didnt like the chrome highlift buckets. So these are zzmt rims with highlift lenses pushed in them. Work great and cant fall out (the like for the inner bead)

Looks good Matt!

As for the action shots. If it's not REALLY bright outside you're not going to get really crisp action shots unless you are panning the camera with the subject that is moving. The shutter speed will be to slow to stop the movement quickly so you have to follow the movement to get it in focus.

Or use a flash which I think makes the photo look horrible usually.

Like this photo, see how the background is blurred? If I would have kept the camera still the truck moving would have that amount of blur and the background would have been in focus but since I moved the camera with the truck the truck was in focus

Guy's, I'd like to introduce you to my new friend, Zack. Zack had to have major surgery to fit in his jeep. He also had to pull the seat forward so he could reach the wheel. Zack's right hand is going to be on the shifter once I build it. ;)

Maybe this driver would be better suited for Stu :er:

Worked on the dash and got the shifter in, added a driveshaft to the inside but im to lazy to get some pictures.

Got some upgrades. TLT axles C's and alluminum knuckles. You can see them in some of the pics. I took these off the axles I traded for my axials because a 1.9 won't really need them I dont think.

Messing with the pic. angles.

Made one of the TLT stablizers instead of the shock.

Heres where this stands after one hell of a comp. The right rear fender got ripped off so i just took the rest off, the lights are gone, dash fell out so the interior's out, and it's beat to hell. Badass if you ask me.
