Bronco with flat bed

[kosta]

Hi all. Want to show my newly built
Ford. First was all original but I never liked
wheelbase being longer than body.So this is what I
made of it.

[kosta]

No, actualy was not thinking about posting it
anywhere. But just needed second opinion.

[TubbyT]

That thing is great! That bed is begging for something to be thrown on it.

I agree it need's scale thinggy's

[860Crawler]

Looks sweet man

[kosta]

Thanks a lot guys for your comments.
That is my first one. So I keep on changing
the look of it as I get time and ideas.
Here is recent pic from river side.http://content.foto.mail.ru/mail/k2-76/CR01/i-8.jpghttp://content.foto.mail.ru/mail/k2-76/CR01/i-9.jpg

I like the blower

[Wyoming]

Nice looking Bronco, very different and unique for sure. Nice work

[Jadama]

Wow truggy cr01, nice!

[kosta]

Was looking at skid plates some people have
but the one for sale not protecting much.
So I made one. Now I can go without thinking of
touching rocks with front axle.
Gonna make one for rear but differen style.

great but ebay has skid plate's for this build

[kosta]

Yes e-bay and others got som skid plates
but the thing is mine goes all the way under
front axle ending just before driveshaft.
So it protecting when I slide over rocks.

[Wyoming]

nice looking plate, I used a Jun Fac when i had my CR-01 and it looked good but was actually hanging up on rocks all the time, yours should work much better by the looks of it.

Desided to redo my flat bed. I made back to be able to
open and made locks for it. Looks like it got more of a
scale look now. Soft top for it is next thing as well
as fender flares for the front.

Very nice work, I had an unbuilt CR01. I was wondering if the wheelbase may be shortened just using different holes for attachment.

[Northwest 4x4]

yes but you would have to get shorter linkage

[Arcocustom]

No. You need to shorten the links.

It depends on how short you want the links. Simply cutting the plastic rod ends (5mm off each end) can = up to a 10mm shorter link. If you need more you will have to dremel yourself a chunk of the aluminium link itself. Shortening the WB makes the truck less stable though. :)

Hey all.
I took my truck out today to ride on some
gravel behind my back yard. Took few pictures.

You can see front skid plate protecting whole axle.

And here you can see my black rock rings but instead of just
spending money on e-bay and get them scratched all over again
I sanded the original ones and painted them black. So now it is
black on black and when I touch stones or what ever you
dont see it.:D
Check this out. That is after 2 hours on rocks.

good idea with the black rings. My stock rings are all scratched so they are black and silver.

[Northwest 4x4]

I have the alum. one's they do the same but no scatch's

[kosta]

waterboy, look at pics in #18.
As you see it is just made from
white styrene.Just make sure to was
it good otherwise paint won't stick
to that plastic.:D

[Waterboy]

thanks kosta:) mabye a mog built back bed?:D

[TubbyT]

Where did you get the skid plate for the front axel?

[Northwest 4x4]

he custom made it

[kosta]

so for the front plate there is a template (in mm) but I have made front and back
parts longer so it would go ok over rocks and as I have found out lately works just fine
on snow too.

And finaly I had time to make rear skid plate. It has a bit different design.
