[fastlane]

One day we are gonna have to line up a weekend with Sprint and go bashing. I'll bring the beer and you guys can bring the charcoal and steaks HAHA.

 

[fastlane]

hell yeah I'm game I would like to have a rampage meet in the south. Anytime. Lets plan a trip.

 

[fastlane]

I change up some things on my ramp. Too much of one bright color was too much for me.

looking good Fast. I have a piece of ali plate sitting in the garage. I'll have to put it to use and steal your front support idea. I also run the Desert Rat body, Here's the best price I found.

Thanks. I bought mine on ebay for $80 shipped. It's a factory second so it has a scatch under the bodt right where I'm trimming to fit to the TT

pics!


I tried some metal specks silver thinking it was a silver paint. Wrong! So to fix it up I used a blue paint to get this look. What do you think?

Looks real good man, but you know whats gonna happen the first time ya roll it over


Id drop it down alot more, so those meats can fill up the wheelwells a tad more.

 

[fastlane]

It'll rub if I drop it lower. I bought a factory second for $80 shipped I can afford to roll it.

 

[fastlane]

the clearance is just right for my roll cage Obeast check it out. I hate to cut a hole in the roof. My fender trim was a bit severe. I can't glue it back. Any way I like it.

 

[fastlane]

Oh damn I guess I'll be ordering one now. It sets about as high as yours moo. I like the way it is just fine. It would probably look more stream line setting lower

 

[fastlane]

one more thing... If I drop it down I will have to cut out for the darn pipe too

 

[fastlane]

I originally cut it because of grass build up but now I have outerwears everywhere. I just ordered one

 

[fastlane]

well I lowered it obeast. It looks good but won't clear my exhaust according to sprints measurements. I ain't cutting it. LOL

 

[pwaicon]

I like it, the color looks great. You did a great job on this build, the CPI pipe is going to finish it off nice.

 

[Obeast44]

Ya looks great man! Didnt mean to sound like I didnt think it was awesome! It just kills me that a body that nice and expensive (even at $80) is going to break after a few rollovers. I wish they made a more durable body for these things, that wouldnt break the bank.

 

[fastlane]

thanks I think by far this is my best build to date. I have built a few nitro's and they can't compare. I almost sh!@ today when I opened the box with that huge body in it. WOW these things are enormous. Sprint is shipping my pipe Monday so I should get it Wednesday. I am off call this coming up weekend so get ready for a video.
