Element Enduro Sendero HD of Doom!

[Doom!]

It's time for an update.

I finally got around to trimming my front fenders, I removed about 3/4 of the material from them, to give me enough clearance so I don't rub anymore.

Also added a fire extinguisher to the bed. One detail at a time.

Until next time, thanks for looking!

Looks nice and clean! What tool did you just for the trimming task?

That fire extinguisher is a perfect add!

 

[Doom!]

I used a pair of heavy duty scissors (like kitchen shears) slow and steady. I drew a rough line with a Sharpie pen (it rubs off with alchohol when done).

Great job with shears!

 

[Doom!]

Thanks, trim a little, cut it off to get it out of the way, repeat until done. It is easier than using an Xacto knife.

I just do not enjoy doing tedious detail work like that. I would do it if I needed to, but I would not like it!

 

[Doom!]

It's all in the details....

I took Xraycer's advice and changed out my shackles for red ones. I put 'em on front and rear. They cost me nothing but Amazon points. I like the little extra pop of color.

Oh, yeah!

Dare I say, paint those diff covers red as well?

I think If I was going to paint the pumpkins I would just get metal. (I'm lazy like that)

You're turning into me!

Ok, in todays installment, we added a set of Injoro 1.9 beadlock rims to the Sendero of Doom! They are a very nice quality, no problems with aligning holes, or stripped threads. It took me a while to get the gazillion screws in but that was to be expected. They also included plenty of extra screws (of course, the one time I didn't lose any).

 

[Xraycer]

Not too shabby!

Damn it @Doom! Your making me want to screw around with my trx-4s again...... lol. I'm liking the look of the general grabbers I think I'll pick a set up for my wife's raptor. She isn't too thrilled with the super swampers she has. But I'm a die hard interco guy. Even have them on my full scale rig lol.

Tonight's addition may seem a little boring. Tonight I installed a set of Club5 wheel wells to the Sendero of Doom! They may not seem too exciting, but now at least I can't look straight through the wheel wells, and into the inside of my body. It bugged me that I could see the insides, it made it more toy like, now it feels a bit more scale.

The wheel wells were 3d printed and are nice quality, fit was excellent.

 

[Kimmie28]

This isn't boring to me as it is actually inspiring for me to see your build and makes me want to work harder on my trx-4s. I will be ordering a set of the general grabbers for the wife's raptor. I showed the pictures of yours and she immediately wanted them so that's what she will get.

Keeping a bit of the dirt out is certainly a big plus as well.

There are obviously better choices for scaling rocks, but as an overall trail tire I really like them.

Those wheel wells look great!

Added a Jack because, well, the spare is worthless without one.

I don't know, that driver could be Steven Austin aka The Six Million Dollar Man.
If so, he wouldn't need a jack.....or, even a tire iron

Man, I'm really dating myself! Lol
