How does the drivetrain hold up in those things?


The aluminum front axle housing and the weak little idler arm are the weak points.

Other than that, they are tuff little buggers.

What kind of budget did you accomplish this little rig on?
 

Including the Tracker, about $5500 after the bumpers are done.

Rollin' on 7" now. Now I need some nice heavy bumpers to bring it back down so I can get into it! Rocker will be lined by Satarday.

Finished the rockers and nose on the weekend...Now it just needs bumpers and a winch and she's ready to go!







This is the product I used this time. It's about the same as the Hippoliner...a little glossier maybe. It is messier to work with than the Duplicolor product, but it seems to be a little more durable. I'm please with the results. I like the fact that it is a 2 part  epoxy/urethane, unlike the other liners.

awesome. I like it. although your future plans to put an 8000lb winch on it may be overkill. I'd go with a 3000lb winch. jk. look's wicked. should be fun in the mud.
