Badger's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 kit build

Picture, please:)

I use the body mounts inverted like this to keep from breaking rear shock hoops, they just key into the bed body mount holes because I made my own flipping body mounts at rear of bed cage. If you want to pin them, just drill the little body clip holes up top or cut the mounts off a little shorter and that way you have the pin holes already there. "thumbsup"

 
Who makes the shock hoops you have? They look great! I want some for my JK.

I like your body positioning, but I achieved same drop by inverting the body mount post, inserted to shock mount from below, clip in place with body clip, and then cut mount post excess off that hangs below the shock hoop. "thumbsup"

No offense but I don't see what the point is to doing the mod your way. You're cutting the most important part of the body mount IMO (the tapered section below the body pin hole), so if you ever want to flip them back right side up and use them for a taller body you can't.
 
No offense taken. :) I can get a couple shorter mounts out of one post (used in conjunction with body washer) and other pieces of plastic can be used for the posts. I guess not a lot of difference, but easier to make a post out of plastic scrap than to make a shock hoop.
 
Bad a$$ looking builds as aways badger "thumbsup", I'm also looking foward to getting my G6 by next week. And thanks for the idea on the trimming the rear post to lower the body and take away from looking at such a big gap from the rear makes it nice and clean looking.

I guess they are just prepping for us to make our own bumpers...saving the plastic trees.

I plan on making my own rear bumper. I'm currently working on a rear bumper for my Jeep kit.

I also build a rear bumper with a tire carrier and jerry can holders for a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. And made bumpers for my Toyota Hilux.

I hope this helps anyone is wanted to build there own bumpers.
My G6 shipped yesterday!
 
Very impressive build, I was checking out SCX10 Jeeps when I came across the G6. I was originally going to get the Dingo but G6 it is. LOVE the axles that your running, they have a great look.
 
A few of us went out to another incredible day of crawling at the Bean. I should have taken more pictures but I was having to much fun driving my G6 Jeep and the Mog. I'll post up my thoughts on how the rig performed in a separate post.
