Great job on the interior. RPPHobby sells a great sticker sheet with a bunch of guages, radios, and nav screen. Looks awesome so far keep up the good work.

I was thinking about doing that haha
Thanks! I've seen it before, is it Bowtie's? I was going to use a picture of the 1:1's gauges, but maybe I'll get that decal sheet for the sat nav unit.
Thanks man!

There are some minor updates that I might be able to post tonight. My new job has me so busy that I don't have much free time anymore.
Stay tuned! "thumbsup"

Thanks man!
Finally...some minor updates to share.
I'm 99% finished with the interior. Just need to add a driver and some accessories. For the gauges and gps unit, I simply found 1:1 pictures, scaled them down, printed, and glued them on. I'm happy with it. It looks so much better in person though. Maybe some outside photos will look better. I'd still like to buy some new LEDs, including some for a light bar.
As for the chassis, it's pretty much ready. Just need to pop in the electronics box and take it for a spin!
Down the road I might change the front bumper, add a spare, and maybe some other things.
Let me know what you think! :mrgreen:
I love the silver sharpie trick!

Thanks man!
Thanks! Sharpie's come in all different colors, but the silver sharpie is special because it shows up on dark surfaces, due to its metallic makeup.
Thanks man! I can help you out "thumbsup"

Lucky me, I have off today! Looks like I'll get to work on the Jeep a little more. :twisted:
The other night I dug out an old strobe LED kit that I used on my XJ Cherokee build. I know, it looks like a drifter, but it does have a constant-on mode which I'll use. Let me know what you guys think!

I haven't posted an update on here for a week, but trust me, I've been busy with it haha Fender flares were trimmed, lights finished, front bumper trimmed, accessories added, and I went a little crazy with the stickers.
I installed a Hitec 7950TH servo for ultimate power, and am currently wiring it directly to the BEC for even more power! :twisted: The winch was removed because I have a VP dig on the way :mrgreen: and I'm changing the front Hand Bros. 3-link to a 4-link with the help of Dinky RC. There were a lot of issues with the panhard bar hitting everything so this should help get some more flex.
Sorry no outside pics yet...only crappy indoor cell phone pics.

I have my Dinky truss installed on the front axle, but I still need to get some new upper links for it. The VP dig is here and installed too, just need to dial in the shift points. Other than that it's nearing completion...for now haha
