I thought I'd post this over here too.

I bought the Bullhead a few years ago with the intention of building it up as some sort of crawler. I know some might think its sacrilege to destroy this old beauty but its never going to be worth much more unless it is a original Clod Buster and it aint.

I had done my research and found to buy a set of brand new diffs on their own was going to cost me about $300 - 350 not including bearings and the rest of the hardware or I could buy a Super Clod for about $450. So I shopped around and found this on eBay for $250.

The chassis arrived today so if I get a spare 30 minutes I'll start chopping it up and install it.

This is where it all starts.

Chassis is built and installed. I did forget to do something so I'm gonna have to pull it all a part again. I forgot to lock the diff's.

Pete, I am planning on keepin the tyres, wheels front bumper and body so the only things that are left are the chassis, shocks and stock links.

I'll be running 2.2" wheels on mine with the stock plastic axles.

Plus I want to throw down the challenge to the Berg/Gladiator boys, let them see what their missing out on. :D
