What do you plan to do with that rig? I hope not rock crawl.. does it flex? Your approach angle is horrid with that winch on there. Looks like a fun hunting rig or something but I can't picture it doing anything hardcore.

These are intended to be trail trucks. This truck was never intended to be used hardcore. However I do have a Solid axle version I am working on. That truck will be more for crawling. I am building a new bumper that will raise my winch 6 inches.

Whats the esitmated cost of a rig like this? I know you cant be specific based on options and stuff, but say within a 1K ballpark...

Yes I am looking into that, they really only need a windshield to make it street legal. This one in the pics does not have its headlights yet, but they do get headlights, tail lights, and turn signals. It is in the works.

I think one of the reasons I like it is because I like the old T-bucket hotrods, and the front end of this reminds me of it. I'd love to see one that is a little more "hardcore" oriented, almost like a "mini" crawler buggy or formula toy. That would be very cool. But I like this one as is.
