That lovely one I made is 3.35" wide and rubs before the tires reach full articulation with the wheels turned.

I agree with my bumper :roll:

Have you tried making one yet? If yours turns out good I may have to get you to make me one, but only if it's below $200 :lol:

you may have to bring your A game Rick. These new Walker Evans Racing beadlock look-a-likes are sweeeeeeeet.

Because I had too much coffee this morning...... I cant wait to get a set of these wheels for my 1:1 truck, which might be 10 years before it happens, BUT it will happen. By then I will have my wife's 07 Tacoma for a trail truck. I already have the rear suspension ordered for it, lol. I got some Walker Evans 2.0 shocks with remote reservoirs and an expedition leafspring set. Next is a long travel IFS by All-Pro accompanied with Walker Evans coilovers, then off road bumpers and skid plates, etc, etc. My wife isn't going to give it up until my slightly done up 2011 Tacoma is paid off. That wont be for another three and a half years, so I figured I would at least have the suspension paid for by then. Gonna look stupid without those wheels I was talking about though, lol and good knows how much a set of 35"s are going to cost. Maybe I should just tell her to trade it in :lol:

I hope the coffee wares off soon

Thanks for the comments guys!

I received my motor in the mail today :) I wish I got a sticker along with it to show that I have a HH motor under the thing though :cry: I thought spending a hundred bucks on a motor that I could get a $2 sticker set for free :roll:

Here is a photo for proof though

Well, you are the one who started the thread, lol

Once you get settled in you will have to get caught up with us. I have to move to Alberta in a couple months, so I expect to be off the hobby scene at that time too. Hope the move goes well for ya.

I kinda did :oops: :mrgreen:

I figured if there was only one thread for all of FOFF (sorry to stray from that and end up building a KOH build) then the admins wouldn't be too upset. I'm sure a Scale, FOFF and a KOH section would be out of the question unless they were vintage RCs turned into new builds :lol:
