Been a while since I posted up any progress....but I've been back at it lately, thanks to upgrading my work area....formerly the guest bedroom, now my man cave :lol: So, I ditched the old steel axle and added a T&A Machine titanium one....got a good deal on two of em a while back. 20240324_13445...

All Composite Craft (non-TRC) here, so I'd go with: Predator (version3 with chassis pre-drilled for Lynx upgrade), Predator Lynx and then Predator Lynx (version2 with the nylon upper link posts).

Two new work benches...but I mighta underestimated how much space I need....lol!
