Bama 6x

[indybama]

Thanks brian! Not yet, but, i could make some of the tow bars that have the wheels. Make it an offroad setup n that would eliminate the need to pull a driveshaft or get it in a nuetral position. Havent decided yet. Still need to make tow hooks for hookin around the axle n a way to hook it to the sling. Got an idea in mind for that though.

Hey ferp, thanks for checkin in brother

Well, its been a minute, but finally got back on this ol girl. 2 weeks til ECC, so had to get busy. I wanted to make the levers n make them work, but i skipped that for now.

I did manage to get the servo winch mount made today. Cut a piece of 1" sq tubing down n cut out for the servos. I was goin to weld it in, but then i wouldnt be able to put/take the servos in/out, so i made it removable.

I picked up some wire for hangin pictures with, but it wont work. The cable is a bit thick, but it may work for a winch for the front, its just to stiff for booms or the sling. Plus side to that type of cable, it has a clear coating on it...

As for paint, go ahead, get a good laugh in lol. I didnt realize how big of a difference the two reds were smh. I started out paintin the bed apple red, n then i realized the difference when it come time to spray the cab...cherry red. Looks more pink, than red, to me. Kind of went for a lil body repair look on the cab. As for the bed, i sprayed some slate grey over the red, but left some red peekin thru.

All in all, im happy with how it turned out. Cant wait to give it a good run in a couple weeks. Heres some pics from today, ill post up some on the rocks later on

Damn, final results are killer! Excellent job bama!

This is what a 6x6 should be. She looks to built tough enough to withstand any and all punishment you could throw at her!

Nice job on the servo mounts. Can’t wait to see this beaut in action!

Yooo this is sick!

Thanks smog! Thanks goro! Definantly gettin some vid on the rocks. The boom servo is a bit goofy, it tends to keep goin a lil bit, even when its in a stop position, but the winch servo works great, so ill get another one of them later. Ill try n get some vid of it winchin another vehicle, no promises lol

Well, unfortunantly, i didnt get any vid of this big ol girl. The slightest incline n she pushes the front tires. Believe shes a bit big in the hips lol. I did get some pics though. It was a big hit with everybody though, so many comments on it. I was told somebody ask if id sell it, but the guy that was askin, never came back by. A buddy got a short vid of me pickin up a gladiator, but it was really blurry

Very cool. Questionable color

 

[indybama]

Really wanted red, but stupid me, i didnt test the cherry red before hittin the cab. So once it was on there, thats what she was lol. I do have the blue, orange, n silver body though, could trim it to fit....

I'll bet that color weathers well
some scratches and scrapes a little rust here and there would look good

I think so too. Theres a few holes in the bed as well, where it got a bit hot n blew thru. I left them, just to add character. Be a good spot for it to start rustin
