This started life as a Blizzard EV, but I've got he DF-300 front bar on it, and I built some chain tensioners, so I don't have to over tighten the sprockets to keep the chain tight. I wrecked a set of those axle carrier parts, doing that. I've also got a full width skid plate, that I hand hammered the diff bulge in, but it just catches any little bit of debris that finds its way into the chassis. I'll be replacing it with something simpler, that'll let dirt and whatnot fall out.
New rod ends for easier maintenance. I had to get the blue ones!
I'm continuing the grand tradition of non snow-cat bodies on Blizzard chassis. I'm using a Tamiya High Lift body, and trying to keep the mounting pretty much stealthed. The bed's been shortened by about 1¼". (Did I mention the old Clodzilla bumper/brush guard?
The bed is bolted to a Lexan under-pan that attaches to the chassis with the factory body mounts. I need to add a little structure in front of the bed, to stiffen things up. I've added a full back wall on the cab, with holes that slide over pegs on the bed's new front wall. Inverted body posts are hidden behind the bumper, with the body clips tucking in under the cut out's for the High Lift's brush guard.
The bed's been cut up and bolted to an aluminum frame, to give me a useable cargo area I can detail up, as I get things for it. A tool box and fuel cans are necessities, as far as I'm concerned. I'll be brazing a light bar/chase rack kind of thing that I plan to put tie down tabs on.
