great work and the 1:1 looks great too"thumbsup"

Thanks, I am obsessed with Jeeps and 4x4 in general in all sizes!

 

[lowslowTJ]

got the sliders tied into the cage and the cage tied into the body. Now I just have to figure out how to tie the sliders into the frame.

Looking better and better. Keep up the good work"thumbsup"

I realy like how you tied in the cage and the sliders.

 

[lowslowTJ]

Thanks, I was worried that the cage would eventually punch through the body. That should not be an issue now unless there is a large fall or other extreme damage.

 

[lowslowTJ]

Got some more done after a great Turkey day!
I added 6 runners to tye the cage/body to the frame.

Tack welded in place:

how it sits now:

Looking good Verne. Looks like your getting pretty close to wrapping this puppy up now. I'll try to get the wheels to you this weekend."thumbsup"

 

[PANDAbox]

Really nice job on the rig. Can't wait to see where this goes.

 

[lowslowTJ]

Thanks guys! its coming along....slowly...

 

[lowslowTJ]

I finally got the front 4-link tacked in place.

I also got to working on making the rear leafsprings work a bit better and lowered the ride hight by flattening the springs and got started performing the infamous Chino mod. Thanks Chino!

Now I have to build some new shackles to go along with the Chino'd springs!

 

[lowslowTJ]

I just talked to Corey at RPP Hobby! The secret goodies should be on their way tomorrow!

THANKS RPP! YOU ROCK!

I also got the 1.9 Rok-Lox from Bmuzz1 all mounted up on the 4-Dyce wheels from Montana.Matt. what a beautiful combo!

 

[BADASSPONY]

This is an awesome build and I will keep an eye on it!

This is an awesome build and I will keep an eye on it!

Thanks! Its turning into something amazing!

 

[lowslowTJ]

I finished up my custom made shackles! LOL! And its officially on its tires and wheels and its looking good in my opinion .

Now it needs a bed and a front bumper/grill guard.

 

[big bronco]

looks great! caint wiat to see what these bumper look like!

 

[lowslowTJ]

Thanks!

I would love input from you RCCers out there. Should I build a bed like a Brute, or a tube flat bed?

 

[bmuzz1]

Thanks for the updates Verne! Those wheels and tires do look really great together!!:shock:

As for the front bumper, I think a nice clean hoop to protect the grill and hood and then a nice short 1" or so tall flat top stinger. Maybe something like this.

As for the rear I like the flatbed truggy idea but maybe we should let one of the possible future owners tell us what they would like."thumbsup"

Thats exactly what I had in mind for the front bumper, only with a couple of runners from the hoop to the winch guard.

I cant wait to see or hear what people might want in a bed for this....

dont do a flat bed, build the bed the way they come, It would make it much cleaner. just my 2 cents
