Lone-wolf Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) I may be planning a mk2 paint job on my Texan as i still have the original Grey cab, rather fancy doing a yellow "Mattsofroadrecovery" special....it would be good if i could get a tow jib for the back of the cage body but not a deal breaker Edited March 30, 2023 by Lone-wolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Someone at my local club had an old ford recovery truck, and he used the jib off a child's toy he paid pennies for at a car boot sale ,(just a thought 🤔) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Small update after my talk of maybe selling this powerwagon, i cant do it, but i dont run it much because i dont want to damage it, so as i have the original Grey cab i have ordered a rear cage front lights and grile plus mirrors and all the bits to make a second body for this rig, the Grey one will get totally abused, but wont be here till early next month as a few bits on back order 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Been considering a Texan for my next crawler, but can't decide on that or an injora rock buggy to build up 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also applies to the Injora rock buggy, it really does need a longer wheelbase to shine, the injora has a tendency to break front CVD joints but if you got one just order a couple of spare sets at time not expensive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I've read your Texan, and injora threads and am trending towards an injora, I've got my coyote for a good all-rounder, and have a spare set of coyote v1 axles that could go on the injora . Going to decide next week when back off holidays 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 A new mod to the Texan, still waiting for the body parts for doing other shell but this will be used wit both shell options, a GT Power sound module....no more cheesy songs on my Texan video`s 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
