Tore into the drive train a little bit and boy im glad i did. Not only was nothing greased, but most of the screws i have taken out were loose. And a couple were backed out completely
Started swapping out socket head screws for scale hardware
An interior is in the future for sure
Heres something a little unnerving. The only thing holding the cab onto the chassis is 4- m2x5 screws.
Lots of room in the back of the cab for electronics
Another area of concern. The cab mounts to the front bumper/skid. The bumper/skid mounts to the chassis with yup... 4 m2x5 screws. They seem to have some play in them. I will be putting longer screws in at the bare minimum. Hopefully they wont need to be drilled and tapped with a bigger size down the road
The entire bed is only held on with 4 m3 screws as well. Not much i can do here as the hole aren't tapped very deep. i just hope they hold up.
With the bed off
Another thing im not fond of, under compression and full lock the front wheels are going to be rubbing the shocks pretty bad. Uncompressed
Compressed
More to follow soon.
