What did you do to your TRX-4 today?

I think Bronson has been hanging with the wrong crowd lately! Nice looking hubs Drifter!

:lmao: perfect name and I can see him all scruffed up and smoking.

Well my wife wanted no part in the naming of our lovely offspring so I was on my own. Yeah... I always envisioned him being a rough kid so it comes as no surprise that he's already picked up some bad habits. The thought of making him stop smoking scares the hell outta me.

Hey 'Drifter, you'd better keep an eye on Bronson or he'll be robbin' banks and hangin' out with Bugs Bunny. :lmao:

Oh man... Was that a reference to Babyface Finster?! That's awesome lmao!

:lmao:cool pic"thumbsup"

Thanks! Bronson insisted on helping and I was too nervous to refuse his assistance.

Haha HPD the evolution of Bronson is coming along nicely! I wouldn’t mess with him

Well as innocent and shy as he might appear, it doesn't take much to get him riled up! Yeah... he's definitely evolving pretty quickly.

Thanks, Brian. I don't know who he's hanging with lately... don't wanna know. His 'mother' actually insisted that I get him out of her sight. He randomly pops up in various places around the house and she has calmly stated that 'this needs to stop'. We'll see.

I really like these sleeves as compared to the ones that come with the hubs. Bad pics but you can see that these look more scale and have a larger contact area against the wheel face.

Yeah, I like them sleeves too! They do look more scale.
 
I asked Bronson to replace the black Warn hub sleeves on the TRX4 Bronco with these raw aluminum sleeves. He smacked me real good with a wrench and then proceeded to do the job. The kid kinda worries me but I love the more realistic look of these larger aluminum outers.

I gotta get some scale hubs and hardware for my bronco. I never really cared about this kind of stuff till I got old. Now I NEED it! Makes a big difference.

Love those wheels, Tmaxxed!

We hit the trail today for a really hot and humid hour or so. It was just too suffocating and miserable to be hiking today... especially considering that the trail had just been under water recently so it was a sticky/ slick stinky mess. I thought I was gonna pass out by the time we got back to the trail-head.

Installed black mirrors on the Bronco just to keep the chrome ones out of harms way. I also installed the spare "tire" and carrier after having it for about a year lol. I sincerely think that although the weight increase is minimum, the Bronco feels more planted with the spare and carrier. It was a blast to drive today. Just walked through everything... lots of sand, sticks, and debris left behind from the flooded river. I'm also really liking the Flat Irons and 2-stage PL foams on this rig currently. Whether rock-crawling or trailing they seem to handle a lot of different terrain very well.










Also while trekking across a pile of debris, we disturbed this cool little coastal plains toad. He didn't seem to care too much that we almost ran him over or else he was defiantly defending his home lol but either way... everyone soon parted ways. I was just glad that he wasn't a cottonmouth. They're everywhere right now.







 
I am actually doing some work on my Defender 2.0 body. Been cutting out and tinting windows for it, and hopefully I'll be able to mount windows and lights during this week, maybe even finish it.. But that's a lot to hope for :D
 
Got out for some quality wheel time this weekend. A few pics below.

Sadly the Comanche got the dreaded crack in the front body post hole on a roll today. It’s still functional but only a matter of tumbles till it cracks more an starts to lose paint.

Shoe goo will be a band aid for now but I need to start looking into a new body. Truggy? P wagon? P wagon truggy? Another JK? Maybe 4Runner? I have no idea which direction to go with it. Open to suggestions.

There’s a video in my signature link of the blazer catching some air if you’re so inclined "thumbsup"

It is a Proline lexan body, I just put the grill from the axial body kit in there. I’ve yet to run any hard bodies except on the the marlin

Denver Dab Co. sticker... 8)
Hmmm...tried my first one Friday...62nd birthday. LOL


You should'a come down for PLBF. :mrgreen:

Haha that’s one way to celebrate! Happy belated birthday. I’m still upset about missing plbtf, sounds like it was a great event.
 
Intalled a HH Puller Pro 2700. Crawling tomorrow to break it in!

I put one in my Rock Rey with a mamba monster X. It does standing backflips now but can still crawl extremely well. It tends to break anything and everything on the truck when it run it on 3S. Diff cups, steering rack, shock towers, etc.
 
Solo exploration this evening Just got back. And minor Damage report screw holding front drive shaft let go somewhere in the driveway when i got back home. 3/4 batteries are in lvc. Not to bad i could of kept going but im exhausted now. Overall good evening of testing.

Took it off the for sale shelf at my lhs.., figure I’m not going to get my money out of it. Going to throw my hard body Jeep on it (sell the defender body...).

Been working on a new body and interior for the big wheel rig...Initially wasn't interested in interior and figure detail... but its fun.

Added a shade top to roll cage, cut from a mountainbike mud guard.

Painting shell body with Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover and Interior detail with acrylic paint. Super happy with the results of the Rust-Oleum 2X paint and way cheaper then model paint.
