Badass! I’ve had a few long term builds, and I bet you can’t watch or look at pictures and not get anxiety over certain parts of the build.
Yeah there's definitely been easier and harder parts. When ever I got discouraged, I just put a car cover on it and let it sit for a while. A solution eventually comes for everything
I loved seeing it at 4WP last month. I couldn't stop drooling every time I walked by it. Top notch craftsmanship.
Thanks man! one step closer. glad the 4wp guys could setup the gears and lockers for me. Just waiting on drive shafts now...
What a beast! Really good work man!

Thanks for the comments, it took lots of work and still not quite done. Happy to have made it this far
Nice work!
Thanks!
What size box did you use for the chassis?
2”x4” x 0.125 wall I think
Very high CG? not to good sideway slope??
I hope not haha. If I can recall the frame height is 24” to the bottom, full width axles and the wheel base is about 113”
