I ran across this Craftsman gt18 I traded the guy a flat screen TV and $40. I have big plans for this thing although it'll have to wait a little bit. I need some suggestions and ideas like what color should I paint it what should I name it I'm open to anything and everything. I'm so excited to get this thing romping

Take your time and wait until something comes to you or you hear something you like. You never know, maybe whatever color you paint it (if you do) will help lead you to a name you like. Color is all a matter of preference and something you alone will have to live with but with a good layout, design and or graphics just about any color could look great! Maybe even a favorite sports team could provide color/design/name motivation, the sky is the limit man have fun! Lol
@Brianator oh yeah most definitely it's kind of earned the nickname the "mud bug" but just like everything else that could change too I haven't quite started working on that project yet I'm having too much fun with TANKERBELL right now she's getting some pretty cool upgrades that I'm really excited to show y'all
-Sherman II (Those Crapsmans are know to handle like fricking tanks) -Steering slop (See above) -Insurance Claim (Ditto) -Death Eater -The Jabberwocky
Throwing a few out there, that looks like a great base to build a mudder out of, looks like 3spd Hi/Lo? Those are some of the best for mudding but as far as getting sheer speed goes they can be annoying to shift if you don't regularly drive a semi...

Good that lol, 2nd gen steering is WAAAAY better then 1st gen for sure. But yeah a go kart rack and pinion would be something else, definatly more tight then any stock mower steering.

I personally don't have any suggestions as of yet because I've not seen much of it or it's personality, I've never forced a name just let it come in some form of it's past, it's usage or something about it's personality. As and example, The Warhorse got it's name while it was still a grass cutter and was something I just blurted out one day while chatting with a neighbor because it had basically been riden into the ground! Lol
Cut the s man, we had a craftsman that we used to cut the grass and it was always the Crapsman (Literally stupid forum won't let me write crapsm@n, it just autocorrects to Craftsman when I post it?)
