Are you going to do this build in the apt parking lot?

 

haha, no i dont think they would let me.

the 14 bolt took three people to put into the back of the truck

 

that's what I was thinking, oh yeah axles are heavy.

 

i think im going to go talk to glenn at krawltex

 

score i just got some H1 Rims on hold with runflats. i should get these cheap.

beadlocks for the win baby.

yea he has a website

www.4x4legend.com

i will most likely go this route and its fine man
I understand.

the cool thing is now i have beadlocks to i can get really low in those tire pressures and not worry. Standard military hummer rims. I wont do air bags though.

i do need some help when i start this *****. this axle takes 3 ppl to move

 

not a fan of those tires

 

i'll be running tsls

 

Any progress or updates?

 

thats for the rear, do you have a site like that for the front, or is it basically the same?

 

not much progress since parts are twice as much this is gonna take twice as longer than more SAS's my projected date is way ****ed and i expect mid next year if not fall

 

Man, that sucks, I was really looking forward to seeing this thing come along

 

hey, thats when im aiming for

shall we have a race?

 

Ill get in on a race. I dont have much done anyways other then the tear down.

 

mid next yeear woo lets do this

 

good luck getting anywhere close to the work joe has put into the legend. that thing is beyond awesome. it takes a lot of builds to get things to ""big and bad."" your always gonna break something, and then have to find way of making it better. nothing wrong with that, just dont expect it to come out perfect and never have any problems.

 

i dont think either of us do...


Vince, if i do this, it will be done by next september
then ill drive its happy exocaged *** all the way back to Texas, and we'll go hit Katemcy!!!

 

bring it son. yea im aware we're gonna break things. at first i didnt want to break **** cause i had no income to fix it. but now that i have something steady break away mate.

 

no i dont, its kinda the same principles.

 

You can make the big tires work w/o gettin into the body i bet... Dove the front and rear and i think you'd be good.. move the front axle forward some too..

 

yeah they do

 

i wanna beat the **** outa that ranger.. thatd be a great second truck
