i spent a few hours last night going over the instructions and looking at parts. taking my sweet time building it. i will start taking pictures, camera wasnt charged up last night, only the front end is done.

what i like so far is how beefy everything feels. the front inner hinge pins are giant. love the fact it comes with 2 full sets of wheels, disappointed there are no tires, i would trade a set of wheels for some standard rubber (understanding kit rubber usually gets tossed these days, surely a driving force in that decision by TLR)

more a plate than a tub, and yes, quite well done, some areas machined for lightening, then the whole she-bang hard anno'd.

if chassis are that expensive (future), I would love to get one done in a different color...orange maybe. :)

sweet. sounds like you're having a blast with building it. i always love it when you get a new kit and you start taking your sweet time building it. even more when you have the hopups ready to mount as well. post any pics you can joey, i'm really interested. rumor is that associated is working on something. you hear anything from that camp yet?
