On BrickTruckTrial , 88high and 1nxtmonster recently posted their Lego Technic Trial Trucks:

Jeep Wrangler YJ "Brute" by 88high: "Here is my take on Nico71’s Jeep Wrangler 4x4. What I decided to do was make it into a Pickup, or commonly called a "Brute" in the 4-wheeling world. This project was mainly inspired by Four Wheeler Magazine’s project truck, Teal Brute. They started off with an ugly, teal Jeep Wrangler TJ and turned it into a beautiful backcountry vehicle. A Jeep Wrangler? -- nope; a Jeep "Brute" pickup.

HERE ARE THE FEATURES:

1) Strong 5-link portal axles, without a differential.

2) Modified steering system from Nico71’s instructions.

3) 4X4.

4) Opening hood.

5) Working V6 Engine, with a snorkel for air intake.

6) Braced and trussed rear axle.

7) Top-of-cab KC lightbar.

8) Spare tire.

9) Fiberglass bedsides.

10) Strong rollcage on the inside of the panels."

Baja Buggy by 1nxtmonster: "My fourth trial truck. Very powerful and light at 990 grams. Has 4-link suspension with soft shock absorbers. Very good ground clearance and low center of gravity. My best truck yet. The axles use my gear-transfer box. Because of this, I could use bevel gears for greater efficiency. Gear ratio is 1:5.

I used portal axles on front and rear for maximum clearance. Can drive through a few inches of water without me worrying because of 9 cm of ground clearance!
