Finally some action shots!
I have been working on getting a couple of action shots up here, no crazy trail shots yet. Pics are courtesy of Matt Greve at Elemental Photography. He braved the mud to get the shot!
I know this truck does not flex alot yet, but I am working on it. I still have the sway bar hooked up yet, I just ordered some quick disconnets for it. However this truck was never intended to flex it is only for the trails. I have become a dealer for Total Chaos...so yes you will see some changes...LOL!

[QUOTE=04 Rocko Taco;50612885]Have fun cleaning that man!!!
It was almost and hours worth of work to clean it up both days...I was at a Hunting expo giving demos and rides to serious buyers. It was alot of fun and time well spent. Thanks for the great feedback.

It looks like a cross between a volkswagon bug and a a jungle gym.
What is the intended purpose for that rig? I suppose it would be capable and fun in the sand or mud if it had decent HP but for trails??
Some nice fab work has been done - why no solid axle if its intended for trails?

Its intened purpose is the jungles of the Caribbean. It does not need alot of flex, just short wheel base...and to look cool for the tourist. Kinda Juassic Park if you will...They are beefy strong enough to handle the abuse being handed out there, they are some Total Choas parts on the steering already...and Lockers...they get round very well down there...again on trails...nothing hardcore.
The client requested IFS because they ride so much nicer...these are driven on a guided trail, people do not get just go off dirving. I have put these through some ruff terrian, and they have handle it very well.

The grey Camo truck is a guide buggy, the client this truck is built for, all of his employees are required to where camo pants, so they are easily seen by tourist. There is a little method behind my madness...not much but a little..LOL!

Just thought I would add, that all of my trucks are custom built to the client needs and specs. Some of the pictures you're seeing on the here started as a napkin scetch that we bought to life. Talk to me about your Ideas...maybe we can bring your ideas to life!

No, I did not do the Iquana Head, I am good with metal...I can paint and do body work, build a super crazy motor, be a lead designer, but an Iguana Head is beyond me. I have a really good friend that is just amazing at it! I know my limitations...don't aways follow them, but I think that is anybody...LOL!
