Rock Crawler- to narrow or not to narrow? AND how???

[Letsgocrawling]

I am fortunate enough to have a fairly built Bronco cruiser on 37s to drive when I want, but I am building a crawler and seeing how far I want to push it. I don't want to full on tube buggy, but rather something between full body and tube buggy.

You lucky guy---no wonder you are struggling---wish I was in your shoes! I'm looking for a uncut, and that scares me, the prices as of late! Sorry If I did'nt pick up on that if it was mentioned earlier in the threads.

Don't think I mentioned it... I would own a LUBR if I had more room in the garage and more money!!

i found the pic where i crunched my fender, heres proof you can still beat up a dovetailed rig while wheeling

That sucks... I guess that is what drove the addition of a few well placed tubes behind the front fenders...

I would like to narrow the entire body. not just pinch the ends. I think I could a body that is no more than 40 '' wide. It would be a 2 seater one in front and one in back. Plus I would stretch to at least 100'' perhaps 105''

I've tagged the top corner of my grill with my dove tailed front end too. It was a result of a "too many turn" box (don't know what I have but it takes way too many revolutions to get it to turn). One of my next upgrades is a steering quickner (temporary anyway until I bite the bullet and send PSC my life savings!).

That has been my experience as well. No matter how narrow you just push it that much farther...

 

[INPHOBIC]

here is my first attempt at narrowing it. LOL.

 

[INPHOBIC]

my more purposeful attempt.

It looks awesome, even with the crunch---I'ts just working!

Well todd I originally thought of building the tube front clip to be right behind the fender to stop it from caving in so bad butttttt that idea evolved into making the panels quick detach. The design would still help if I'm dumb enough to not take a couple minutes to pull the panels

Bax I've seen a couple fully narrowed eb buggies. The only one I like is jason paul's from twisted customs. So sick...

Inphobic all I can say is wow, can't wait to see how that turns out


Thanks letsgocrawling! It pulled back out real easy but never again!
