MTD off-road build (Mobile Terrain Dominator) "2"

Looks good, I had a bit of trouble wrapping my head around how it articulates, but i like it!

Thanks Rich! I shoulda taken a picture of the underside when it was flexing out, that woulda been neat. Haha. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow for fun.

Nice suspension upgrade! Looks quite complicated but I like it a lot.

Thanks Matt!

Didn't do much today but I added a couple box steel cross members to the front half of the frame as there weren't any there before.







Should solidify things a bit. Also had to let it stretch out a little and get an underside picture:





Hahaha.

Looks good! I got plans on beefing the hell out of my MTD frame, before i crack or bend it. Crazy, huh?

Well that does sound like a good way to go about it, haha.

Jeez, leave for 5 days and AK builds a whole new suspension setup

HAHA... leave it to AK.

Very nice! Great job.

More small improvements to this rig today while I wait for the new coil.

Finally made a decently heavy duty tie rod for it, haha.





Just some black paint so it doesn't rust or anything.



Also added some steel to that old cutout in the side of the dash. Still want to keep it there as a sight hole type thing for the pitman arm, bit I just figured I'd clean it up a bit.





More flat black:



Looks better in my opinion!

Then I braced up the bracket for the foot throttle riggins I got going on here.





Painted that up as well.



Feels good to get some more stuff done, even if it is just little things here and there. Getting anxious to drive this rig again, haha. Let me know what ya think!

good little improvements.  Better to brace it when it's in the shop before it breaks on the trail.

Well, it's never really being worked on in a shop. Just outside, haha. Thanks Carl!

Particulars... particulars....  LOL  Looks nice AK!

Thanks Mighty!

Plenty solid now. And your "welds" hahaha look way better painted.

Thanks, I'm hoping it will be.

Looking good. I think she could use a wash eh? Hahaha

Wait, where's W having a cow over the front facing tie rod? Lol

Thanks Rich, I don't know what you mean about it needing a wash though?

Hahaha, yeah I think all my rigs would benefit from a good pressure washing.

What the sam hill you talking about?

A bunch of your comments on MacroMachine's Ford build

...........Wow. LOL.

But anyway, let's not jack this thread any further please fellas. Thanks.

Nice work, paint always makes everything look better.

Thanks Matt, yeah it sure looks better than rust. Haha.

I wouldn't leave that switch just hanging there, might get caught on something, but that's just me.

Eh, I guess it could. But it's not even hooked to anything anymore so I'm not really worried about it. Haha.

WHAT?!  That's added weight!  Need to ditch it!
