Lil Digger Truck - ECORS Stock Racer Build

[Bigben75ford]

I would love to run some air/nitrogen shocks on my rig(I like jumping too much sometimes) but figure Ill wait till I link my rig someday,like the build so far man! I need to start on a yota like this for Ecors maybe next year!

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

haha maybe you should just buy this one when I get done racing it.... Unless my girlfriend takes ownership when I build a full on buggy

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

Did a sketch on the way to the Jason Aldean concert last night....

Just something that was in my head, I think I want to make the rear bumper so it can swing open to unload the spare tire, put the flat one in there and shut it and Roll Out

Since I'm recovering today I will be building this spare tire mount/cage tomorrow

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

Maybe I Started Off Backwards

I missed this thread when it started, but I want to second (fourth? fifth?) everyone saying how good a show you put on in that last race. :Rockon:

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

Hell yeah, Thanks Bro....

 

[Will Carter]

Oh wait...nope...you got it covered. Definitely NOT worthless.

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

lol Nice opportunity to bag on me, I guess you better take em when you can get em

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

Had to stay up all night friday and saturday night to get this tubing done and the front seats mounted.... I got so much more to do!

Oh and I'm not putting the rear seat in it till I get done racing it and redo the roof....

 

[Hurley]

Nice welds, what kind of seats or those?

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

Thanks Bro, They are the Twisted Stitch Pro Customs, 3 inches taller than standard

 

[Jeff B]

Tack, tack, tack?? Sure are a lot of fish eyes.. Pretty though.

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

yeah, I'm trying to get it down pat.... I'm using this rig as practice because I've never welded a chassis like that before.... I'm getting better at it slowly

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

Is it wrong to build the aluminum subwoofer box and speaker compound before I build the fuel cell?

 

[jeepn-jason]

Absolutely not dude! Gotta have the jams rockin while vrooming through the woods!

post pics of your sub box, i need ideas for matts rig

 

[XJfreakHO]

thats awesome man, we wheeled with a guy at Gulches who had an amazing system in his YJ on 42's and coilovers, seriously could hear him coming a mile away. Nothing wrong with some tunes, especially for those bon fires out on the trails. Tote around an extra battery just for the system. haha

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

yeah extra yellow top and battery switch is in tha plans

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

You might see me upside down in a creek 10 out of 10 races, but I still be thumpin and slingin dirt in yall's faces....

Ya'll didn't know I had soul

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

Built this fuel cell last night after work.


Back to the shop now....
