Re: Rock crawling
Everything costs but if you do it yourself you cut the costs by more than half.... :wth: I just got to a point where my Hilux couldn't go where I wanted to go You can only beef up so much then you start breaking something else ! You firstly need to get your mind in a happy place and accept that there are going to be some costs that the wife doesn't need to know about.....the kids enjoy going to school bare foot....so already theres a set of Simpson 5-point harnesses
Jokes aside if you feel its time to build a decent Rig that can do everything and you put your mind to it then it can be built.....The Yankees have a saying and it goes something like this "You've gotta learn to Walk before you can CRAWL".....so it's not for everyone....I'll give anyone a taster in my old Rig before they go ahead building a Crawler and if you like what you feel Go for Gold !
Heres some pics from last years heidelburg day as well as an e-mail with all the details for everybody.
