I won some $$$ in a radio contest last month, so I decided to build another TRX-4. If you've seen my other builds you know I tend to do things a little differently. :roll: And on a lower budget mostly too. Well, this time I wanna use up some left-overs from my Bronco and a body that I bought, as a spare for my Pro-streeter back in '16, and never used. Anyway .... here's a hint. :shock:

I bought a Defender "slider" on eBay ....

.... mounted my 4.19 BFG's on some new "old-s'cool" style beadlocks ... and started making some new short-wheelbase links from 4mm SS all-thread. The new wheelbase will end up right at 282mm.

I'm gonna put some new parts in the Bronco and swap the old stuff over to this truck. New upgrade parts are also gettin' here in the mail. So it'll be a bit of a slow build. I don't plan to upgrade it as far as the Bronc' .... don't need a clone .... so it'll get some different stuff. But it needs to at least try to keep up, so it should be fun. ;-)
Thanks for lookin'..... tune in next time for "I like 'em short and wide. "thumbsup"" or "Where did my rear-end go! :shock:"
