Awesome Verne. That is what I was thinking of when I was first talking about the rear. I like the tube above the bed rails and the little angle down by the tail lights. Now it needs some kind of cross brace maybe.

Nice plate. I like it.

 

[bmuzz1]

You got it dude!"thumbsup" Are you going to continue the cross bracing like over the cab now and maybe add a couple gussets like you did on the cab at the rear of the cage just where the 45 starts? I think that would just about finish her off.8)

 

[lowslowTJ]

Thanks guys! Yea I am hoping the cage will protect the bed too hense the bars that connect to the rear bumper and the tubes along the top of the bed rail. I will add some cross tubes and maybe some gussets too. Then I need to build a front bumper and set up the drivetrain!

Then it should be almost ready to start the bidding! "thumbsup"

 

[lowslowTJ]

The cage is DONE! :

....now on to the front bumper and drivetrain!

Nice cage work :shock:

Looks great!!

Wow Verne that turned out just awesome!"thumbsup"

I'm gonna have to get the winch to you this weekend for the front bumper...good excuse to do some crawling!:mrgreen:

I have some black 5/16 Delrin and revo rod ends that I could make some front links out of if you could get me the eye to eye measurements?

Good call! on the crawlin'

The links are just stock AX-10 links. I am even using the upper y-link. I can measure them for you asap.

in other news I got the AX-10 transmission mounted to the frame.

Thanks man!

OK so I have been fabbing like crazy today. I got the Axial transmission and motor mounted, the KILLER Transfercase from RPP Hobby mounted to a center skid plate. I also fabbed up a steering servo mount complete with speed holes, and last but not least intalled some upper shock mounts. SOOOO, the Jeep is so close to being done I can smell it. All I have to do is build the front bumper, and I need the RC4WD Bulldog Winch which Brian Muzzy has!

Enough talk here are the pics:

Looking awesome! That rear pinion angle looks a little low... think it might need some degree shims under the leafs to point it up a bit.

 

[bmuzz1]

I can't wait to see it in person again on Sunday!8)

What a great idea! It does need some degree shims!

I can't wait to see it in person again on Sunday!8)

Should I bring it?


I also wonder if anyone out there in RCC land would be interested in donating 2-4 Traxxass metal yokes to the build or axial yokes and driveshafts. I can contribute 2 or so, but I had to pull some off other rigs to mock this up. Please PM me if you have some spares yokes/shafts you would not mind parting with.
