Matt shoulda put sliders in his buggy. The one and only time I was behind the wheel I couldn't have fun because I couldn't reach the pedals!!! Lol

Wow, sticker tires!

 

[Dylan W.]

Wow, sticker tires!

Gonna feel weird when we start grooving them.

It would feel even weirder if you looked over while you were grooving them and your tires on your DD were bald.

So I followed this while I was in Afghanistan and haven't heard (or seen ) anything lately. What's up??

 

[Dylan W.]

Lots of work has been done. Its not quite complete yet, but its real close.
Thanks for asking, and thanks for your service!

I thought this was a basic poor mans beater?? Looks good Matt. So its a bit more than knock the glass out and go spin around the hay pasture thing?

 

[mcutler]

Lol, depends on the owner. ..and how bad he wants to win.

Compared to a buggy..it is a poor man's beater. I've gone a little bit farther than needed with this truck because of rust and it's condition when I bought it. I've replaced all the mounts,busings,front brakes,calipers,bearings and lots of other stuff. Guessing I'll have about 5 or 6 grand in it when complete.

But yes, building a bro lite should be as simple as adding a cage, fuel cell, seat, harness, fire extinguisher, window net and kill switch etc.. I guess I went a little too far when I stripped this truck. I'm now wishing I would have left the wiring alone, but we'll get it all back running again soon.

But let me add..there's no cheating going on...just a really nice truck being built. Right Matt? Lol

that said... I have not yet seen a person who actually just threw in the required stuff and went. Every build I've seen seems to be a complete gut/strip-down and re-build...

Gutting and stripping is free. It makes the truck lighter which means free horsepower.

Dylan not cheat?

WTF?

 

[ol'Jeeps]

win if you can...
...lose if you must...
...but always cheat!

It's your job to cheat... it's their job to catch you.
