As much as I liked my Bug I knew it could be improved on. The chassis was
small and not very up-gradable. I was never a fan of the trans even after
upgrading it. It did the job, and it was much better than stock, but it was
still meh. It's been going quickly and have forgotten to take many pics.

Started out picking up a SWB chassis from NWSD. It's the Derringer. It's has
many mounting options for links, shocks, etc. For the trans I went with the
Dlux Hamberger. I wanted to front mount it but I just couldn't fit it right
anywhere up there. So in the rear it went. For the skid I went with the Vader
Skinny Monkey. This would keep my link lengths about the same and save on
some headaches. For the transfer case I picked up a cheap Injora. I replaced
the middle shaft with one from an Axial trans. It was a little longer and probably
stronger. I'm running it inside-out which gives about 11% UD to the rear.
Rough guess Going back and forth on the shocks, still haven't decided. I'm
leaning towards staying with the PL but pondering the Axials.







I was going to stick with the CR12 axles. I like the looks of them and I've
upgraded them with alum. knucks and steel diff gears but again... I opted for
something a bit better.
My AsiaTees order showed up, I think I made a good choice. Off for some
fun wrenching...
