I quit setting deadlines.
I'm tryyying.
I always get a kick out of how easy others think a build like this is. When we were out at constricter one time when TJ had his buggy. Two guys are standing next to me talking. One says to the other, that wouldn't be to hard to build. Just get a tube chassis and add a motor and axles. They have no clue how many hours go into doing all the little stuff like you are doing now.
It's looking good Shane. Keep on plugging away, it'll be worth it.

I quit setting deadlines.
Gotcha, its just looking close.
Not sure, just have a bin of them laying around. Need some? I could grab a handful for you.

I keep thinking it is, but then my check-off list keeps getting bigger.

x billion Just went through that last year with my build, i estimated 6 months, took me 12, and i had no job the entire time
Shane I know you don't do deadlines, but for my sake, can you set EJS as a deadline cause i'd LOVE to wheel with you that week :greg:

VERY nice Shane.
- Steering valve mounted.
- Made new t-case shifters & crazy linkage (shifts very well!)
- Strange driverside firewall almost done. Need to figure out hose routing for steering valve.
- Thin wall square tubing for floor skeleton (looks crooked, floor is slanted right there)
- Almost got the gas pedal done, forgot to take pics.

Bitchen Shane! I'm impressed with the patience you have, those small things seems to take forever.

Hey Shane, don't know if you have seen these but I run both the rock shifter setback and the rail shifter and it makes controlling the aw4 a breeze. Plus Rory is a great Guy to work with.

It's 0.50 solid stock which I cold bent in a vise. Seems pretty strong. My atlas is pretty broken in as far as the shifting goes too, shifts smooth. I agree though, I was concerned about the linkage angles but I think it will hold.
Thanks, I'll take a look. I've considered making my own controller to get more use out the 2nd gear.

Progress is looking good Shane - it's helping keep me motivated on mine. I'll eventually start a thread seeing as I've been slowly working on the chassis for the last few months as I have time. Hopefully you guys will go easy on me.
