Sometimes it's the random parts build that can be the funnest (for me anyway)

Custom brazed front bumper

Narrowed SSD ar44 rear axle
Standard width SSD front, VP knucks

Front bumper, simple, not sure I'll keep the grill hoop...



Blue monkey electronics mount, I love how versatile they are

 

[distinctive pd]

Planning on running panhard rear just like a full size wrangler

I've had this hand bros rear mount forever...

Scx.3 shock towers mounted on OG scx rails for the front


Also narrowed element sliders and trays for now, if I love the truck I'll braze up some stainless sliders later

Brazed up a simple roof cage for protection, 3/16 brake line and 1/8 rod

Need to Sand blast and paint it still

 

[distinctive pd]

Rear shock towers from trx-4

Rear panhard mount on axle

Also built some shock mounts for rear of axle to mount shocks to lean rearward...

 

[distinctive pd]

Roof cage is painted and mounted

 

[distinctive pd]

Chassis is roller

 

[distinctive pd]

Body is sitting on the roller chassis now, need to figure out how I want to mount it...

 

[distinctive pd]

Body on

That thing is pretty sick dpd! I like those wheels. The blue inner ring is just enuf to say 'im here' but not stick out like a sore thumb. Great job!

 

[AK KRAWLER]

Nice build man!!! Looks pretty dang clean for sure.

As stated above, the blue body, blue ring on the wheels and the blue shocks all tie well together.

Thanx Broz "thumbsup"

I'm pretty stoked to get it in the rocks

 

[B-MOW71]

Nice progress!"thumbsup"

I don't normally like roof cages because I think they look to big, bulky and heavy, but I must say I'm lovin' the one you came up with! It sits nice and tight to the roof and is barely noticeable! Great job! My mind has been changed!!:ror:

Also like the stance. Looks perfect!"thumbsup"

 

[OSRC]

Looks great! Love the stance. Some of the best builds came out of my parts bins. Not a bad way to go!

Thanks doods much appreciated, it's mostly done, need to quit playing with the full size rigs and go play with these little ones, I miss it...
