Guzzy the RED TJ Build

[skerb]

Yes similar, but the motor and trans won't fit between the frame rails flat like that. It sits at an angle to get the motor as low as possible and 2 of the bolts for the trans are outside the frame rails. I think there is a pic in this thread.



If I can't find the one in this thread I'll try to take one tonight.

Here are the best pics I can get without taking off my unfinished inner fenders

So where and what size battery do you run in this.

thanks!

So where and what size battery do you run in this.

I run 1300 40c 3s sky lipo packs. They attach to that strip of Velcro on the drivers side rocker.

I'm running that same battery in my JK brute , HH 27t but i only get about 25 to 35 minutes of crawler time , I'm looking into 2200 mah if i can make the fit.

I get about an hour with the 35t geared 87/16

 

[old man 52]

WOW , That would be great.

I love this little jeep. It crawls like a champ.

Hope to see the SC Crew again soon.

Will have to see how this little gem works at the next run/comp!

I agree, this rig just works no matter what terrain it is on!

Built a new rear bumper with tow points for the upcoming comp in Florida.

Made a quick and dirty led bar for the night run at krawlfest this weekend.

Iv'e been watching this post basically from the start , You've done a great job documenting all the things over the last year and a half, Seeing all the different stages this rigs has been through and all the different setups makes this a great how to build a tj thread. FATBOYrs10 built this for me a few years ago and i think it time i start collecting parts to put it together , Please keep up the good work and i'm sure i'm not the only one you've inspired to build one. Thanks. "thumbsup"

Thanks buddy! Hope it helps, it's been a fun build.

Here are some more pics of the light. It's not the prettiest bar, but it should work for the comp this weekend.


I wired it into the battery wire for now so it's a quick plug in for the night run.


I just used some of the cheap led strip and made a simple styrene holder






Wish I could mount it on the front bumper to avoid the dark spot from the hood but there is no room on the bumper.

A few pics from krawlfest @ RRW in FL







Got best in the show and shine for 1.9s!

Love the look of this thing!

Great idea with the body hinge too.
