Default New brushguard and bumper

I finally had a little time to work on my tahoe after a major accident with the 4Runner. The 4 runner was turned on by my 4 yr old and left on top of the computer desk while I was out in the garage working on this.



and this working ant.


The runner took a header after I turned on the wrong remote and tried to test the tahoe lol was wondering why it wasnt working till I heard a crash It managed to knock off every detail and spare part on
the body but my wheels held up, there was a tire mark on the tile floor where it hit.

i think you could get the plate stuff at your lhs but its plastic, so you need to either paint it or put aluminum tape on it (much harder than it sounds, but the result is really nice)

The bumper is built out of styrene sheets glued to the stock bumper with a coat hanger brushguard lol. The antenna is actually wired to the pcb with a micro connector through a hole in the fender.
I havent decided if Im going to build a 2wd prerunner style race truck or a drifter next. Im leaning towards the prerunner mainly because I dont have many places to race a drifter around here besides the tennis courts at the front of the neighborhood.

definately drifter next, you have done a whole lot of great things to off-road vehicles and im ready to see what you could do with a car, especially a drift car. Wow styrene tubing and a hanger was used to make the brushgaurd...lol, great job again none the less!!!
