I have been busy at work.... I got the belt and clutch from MFG Supply.com. Finally got the max together enough to do a test run. Gps shows top about 37 mph. Plenty fast enough. Scared my self....did not know that if you pull back on the latterals to hard that it would do a stoppy. The max stood on its nose, almost went over. This was the first time ever driving a 6x6. Readjusted all the chains and went again. Everyone on here was right ,they are a blast. As for mud, I went thru some nasty stuff, the tires slung mud all over me, dash, hull. Went back to the house and cut out some mud flaps. I still have to work a few bugs out but I can say this has been a long build. But it has been worth it. I will try putting the max in the pond this weekend and will post some videos. Thanks to everyone on this site for helping and posting there mods and problems on this site. This made the build alot easier.
Getting the itch to start another one...........Maybe next year. Ha ha.
