Not sure if I have posted this here before but I could not find it. This is a older build I did maybe 2 years ago.

Very cool. I'd love to see more pictures, if you have any.

well to be honest with you guys I just realized I never finished it. I lost interest cause of personal issues that forced me to move across country in the middle of the build. Willie is right. It was a CBP on another site. I just relized it should have been in the under construction board. Sorry. So I never finished the detail work. Never got the exo cage "tied in" to the frame. Kinda lost my train of thought. So if you all PROMISE not to laugh.............I will show the rest. I know there is alot more work left to do. Mainly with the cage. It is fully removable though and I kept it that way. LOL. Any ideas and comments PLEASE!!!! I need advice on where to terminate the cage and so on. It is modeled as a tuff truck competitor. thanks again guys.

This is different and neat. I'm curious to see how you finish it up. It has kind of a "post-apocalyptic" kind of feel to it, but I would definitley add some lights here and there. If it were a long distance, deep woods survival type tuff truck, that might lend more ideas to more rear end gear, parts, extra tires, camping, etc. You have the cage tied in to the rear pretty good, but for the front, you would almost have to go in to the body, say at the corner posts and lower left/right door panels? The whole things looks tuff already.
Where did you get your centerline wheels? Those look familiar - is it the Orange Blossom kit?

Thanks for the extra photos. Needs to be finished but still a nice build.

Yeah I am agree it needs to be finished. Its currently 3000 miles away from where I am at though. Going for more of a competition type tuff truck. "top truck challenge" Like the tips on the cage. Will look into those options. Thats why the cage is still rough. I havent finished all the detail work and sanding. Thanks for the advice. Wheels and tires are just after market from Soreal I think. Cant remember. But I do know they were bought as a set of wheels and tires.

Nice job what chassis did you use for it. That not the 84 chassis from the kit that look to be to hi for it

[Nacho Z]

That is very cool. Definitely will have to finish this one up someday.

I cant wait to finish this thing after all the great advice from you guys. The chassis........the frame is the stock frame I just removed the molded in spare tire and then added some styrene channel to make the frame look complete and to add some stiffness to it. The leaf springs are from the destroyer monster truck kit. I just modified to work with this truck. The axles I got in trade from willie for some resin wheels and tires. I think theyare the stock axles for this kit. Mine was missing them. then just a spring over type lift was added to the truck for the height.
