It's getting there!

Alright mid-week trail fun happening tonight. Be at my place around 630 and well decide on a spot then...Get them scale rigs ready it's getting close G6 time.

 

[donnielovett]

I've got me a low rider now boyz! Low n slow life now lol.

 

[Codster0325]

Put a grille on that shit... Haha

 

[Crawlorado719]

Bumper, sliders, spare mount....does it move or not?

 

[donnielovett]

Ran it around the drive way last night that's the little stuff that's getting finished today then the grill

 

[donnielovett]

Spare tire mounted, and sliders, now gotta work on front bumper and winch mounting, the finish welding everything clean it up and start painting.

 

[Crawlorado719]

Not bad. ..what are you going to use for paint? How are you holding body on?

 

[donnielovett]

Probably rustolium gloss for the color scheme and maybe a clear coat not sure yet. Bust the cage and the body posts keep it pretty snug I may configure something in there back if I need to like a velcro strip or some kind of pin idk the hardest part is going to be getting the bumper made and if I want to try and rush into putting interior into it

 

[Crawlorado719]

Whatever you do don't rush. ..you got some time.

 

[donnielovett]

I think this rig is about done, got the winch mounted last night so now I'm just need to make the grill for a hidden winch, I won't be doing a front bumper for now, so I can now start painting, and finishing cleaning up the tube work, and re locate and re tune the rear shocks, but it's g6 ready.

 

[donnielovett]

It doesn't look like I'll be able to show up at the g6 other things taking priority over toy trucks

 

[donnielovett]

All the fab work is done now. Wish it was running but have other things needing money besides the rcs

 

[Crawlorado719]

Well the mog underwent a little transformation....I started last Wed. Always had a soft spot for the Mg200 mog chassis and after seeing it in person at The Crawl Space events I had to have one. Well mg200 is not cheap nor easily a accessible chassis. So after the d90 truggy build I felt it was time to up my personal bar.

Pow...




98% braze welded, all heat/hand bent solid steel rod, custom styrene work, hidden winch , shorter shocks in rear, spare mount etc....I'll post action shots tomorrow."thumbsup"

Let's get something going...


As promised action shots!





Really debating on running this for the G6. Yes, I know the tires are backwards on the front...some 1:1 rallye mogs running that tire tread pattern run them that way.:roll:

 

[Draggermirage]

They actually bite better in the dry running "backwards".

 

[Unit719]

I dunno, them Flashpoints always did work for me. Anxiously awaiting my Rock Creeper 1.9's (Yes gentlemen, I am trying another tire...AGAIN... Which means my old tires...) they better be here MAX by Friday EARLY damnit!

This provided all my MOG inspiration during my wheely king days...Hey look at them tires...
