Hey Tanis

I like watching your threads. This one looks like it should be another top notch crawler.

Have you run the new Comp Claws yet?

Waiting for it......:lol:

The Vanquish Products Monkey:ror:"thumbsup" sent me a fresh set of Dirty Harry Pro Comp beadlocks....with red rings of course, to match my signature paint scheme(thanks Jim8))



It's been over a year since I had my last Shaggin Wagon, bolted to TLT axles, and I've been wanting to give the latest version a try for a while.
Opened the box and..........pure sexiness8)



I didn't waste any time getting started



I set up my rear geometry with a 4link plate, using the Axial bent rodends at the chassis to lengthen the lower links. I still need to pick up some different springs.

 

[Tanis]

I also 4linked the front. I need to figure out the measurements so I can order the proper length axial links."thumbsup"



I added some spacers to the front lower links to push the chassis back just a smidge.



I've gotten used to Mr. JRH's nice Torquemasters, especially his 25T versions."thumbsup"





I threw on an extra set of wheels/tires I had on the shelf, so I could get an idea what belly clearance was going to be....right about 2 7/8th.

Yessir, had them for quite a few months:ror: They are better than the standard Claws, for sure.
