Today I took out my savage and beat the :censored: out of it.
I bent 4 Integy shocks. Good thing I carry 4 spares.

Got the thing so dirty that it required a full tare down.

Pissed my wife off with my new car wash.

Got to buy some new goodies.

Replaced the GH towers with Integy one’s because the GH towers spaced out the shocks to far and interfered with the cage.

And now the new finished product.

I also replaced the stock tires with Big Joes because I was tired of the floppy stock ones and I put the stock firm spring's back on. (Integy one's are way to light)
What do ya think?
 
Man the dishwasher worked wonders! looks good. (How is that on the mill though?) Looks like ya had a good day! Bent shocks are always the sign of a day of fun hehe
I'm diggen the new wheels too! Looks good
 
On the Mill I sealed all holes with rubber plugs, then I immediately disassembled and oiled the whole engine. The engine had so much caked on dirt from all the leaking shock oil that I would never get it clean with a tooth brush. My wife was like "you are actually washing the dishes" and I said "Not really" The rest of the conversation I'll leave up to you're imagination. :boxing:
 
I showed my wife ur pics and she said that she wouild have kicked my ass if I washed my truck in dishwasher. That is funny! lol Did do a nice job.
 
i guess the trick there is not to get caught. it sure did a nice job of cleaning up the truck though. wonder how it would do if you didnt take the chassis apart first? just plug up the mill.
 
looks nice and clean and ready for another bashin.you'll like those big joes. i like them myself, but you may want to swap sides on the front so the tread pattern is in a running forward direction and leave the rear tires backwards like you have them now as they allow better hook-up.
 
Thats too funny, I asked my wife if I could use the dishwasher and she said as long as I diddnt f--- up the dishwasher she wouldnt car LMAO!! Thats a really good Idea. Your truck looks sweet , now get out there and get that thing dirty again so you can use the new car wash.
 
I'm a kitchen freak so I wouldn't even try it....my house could be totally cluttered but you could always eat off my kitchen floor...that is definately a good idea to sent to maytag as a new advertisemnt though....that was too funny....
 
Now I'm likin' the dishwasher! I need an excuse to get a new one and putting all my crap in there it might plug it up. Hmm, now to go and find a good mud hole!
 
I jut tried puting my Ofna MP in there and it worked. I found out that it's not a good idea to put tires in it though. It unglues them from the rims.

Good idea to get the tires off the rims though..
 
just be careful guys, you dont want mom/wife pissed cause you clogged the filter in your dishwasher with your truck crud. make sure you clean it out when your done.
 
Thats awsome, Someone needs to come out with a RC car wash machine that is designed just for RCs, it would probably be a good seller. Either that or just buy 2 dishwashers, cause I am sure you couldnt get away with that all the time.

Me and my wife are looking to buy a new house,. When we do I think I'm going to put a dish washer in the garage jut for this stuff. Allthough with all the ideas I have in my head I think The garage will have to be bigger then the living space LOL. (part's washer, Lathe, Milling machine, band saw, ect ect).
