Prodigal JK Project

[Shinjari]

Build is looking great! Waiting for the double xr steering :twisted: May have to do that to my JK to make it ridiculous hehe.

 

[Mr.Joshua]

When I was younger I had some the bigger ones given to me was told not to snap togther because they will break your finger. :shock:

Awesome job on the build. The rear steer is super cool. 8)

Thanks for the compliment...loving the rear steer. Some of those bigger magnets are nuts

Thanks man. Once I get this interior finished up the xr mods are next...should be stupid!:mrgreen: ..... The dash board is killing me.

hey is that a honcho the red one i love it i want my dingo to look like that dude link the body parts plz

 

[Shinjari]

1st some pics of the different bodies that I was trying out...

If you mean that one its not a honcho. Thats the original SCX10 bodies that has been long discontinued by axial. May be able to find one on fleabay or the classifieds.

 

[Mr.Joshua]

^^ nice call shinjari.
Here's an Ebay link for that body http://shop.mobileweb.ebay.com/searchresults?cmd=SKW&kw=axial+cf+100

 

[Mr.Joshua]

Not a huge update...more styrene fun. I have been wanting to do these since day one...huge pet peeve of mine is looking all the way through a vehicle in a sweet flex shoot...totally ruins it!
Obviously they are going to be black but I'm waiting to paint the interior and dash at the same time.

The 'ol "honey bunches of oats" template...yummy.

Looks ton better with the wheel wells.

Did you gather the parts up to do xr steering ? If you think have steering now, wait till you do the mod. :ror:

Yeah it does huh...can't wait to paint them up"thumbsup"
I have gathered some parts, but not all. I've been re-working my daughters rig for her B-Day.I had a wanted add for some stock c-hubs and knuckles but the only responses I got wanted more money than if i bought them new. I plan on doing front and rear XR steering eventually. There's gotta be tons of stock knuckles that will never get used again out there

 

[Shinjari]

Those wheel Wells are terrible! Very unrealistic all white like that.

 

[mitchr97]

Dude! I love fords, but my other faves are jeeps "thumbsup" and this is my new fave build ;-)

 

[JDeezie82]

Very nice build you've got going here. Makes me miss when my Weekend Warrior JK was still free of rock rash. Seems like you and I had several similar ideas, although mine was more of a budget build and I went for a light gun metal paint over silver. I've been planning a rebuild for a while now and this thread is only adding fuel to the fire. Here's a couple pix of what mine used to look like before I beat the living hell out of it.

Have a ton of more pix in my thread if you're interested. Also, see if you can spot who I swapped the driver out for in the second pic.

Keep up the great work man. Look forward to seeing this thing completed. "thumbsup"

Ha! I caught the tail end of your build, but read the whole thing. One of the cleanest rigs I have seen, I'm actually glad to hear that you didn't make it a shelf queen. (Your rig was featured in a magazine right?). Seems like it doesn't take long to get them rock rashed. I was checking your JK and a few others out as I started planning mine. I started to build the trail running/weekend Jeep theme but I ended up changing directions...I wanted something a little different.

So...lets see the REBUILD!!!

hey... there was a camper at the campround across from me, and it said in big letters WEEKEND WARIOR... hummmmmm?

Hi Josh,

Any update here? How'd the dash work out? Inner fenders?

Hey Andrew-hope the Wraith search works out!

I have been working on the interior...seems like it's kind of like building a ship in a bottle:shock: i want to be able to remove all of the panels which is making it way more difficult. I'm close though...i have the dash 90% done maybe. Just need to make the console and then I'll paint everything.

 

[MasonJar]

Judging by the rest of your work, it'll be fantastic. This reminds me of my friend's 1:1 Jeep (his is red though, and no rear steer ;-) )

Thanks for the compliment Andrew...this Jeep won't be silver for much longer!:mrgreen:

 

[Mr.Joshua]

I was finally able to get back to work on this build.
I have the floor done, seat platforms, door panels, front & rear firewalls, and most of the dash. I'm still adding lots of little details. Also i need to make the center console still.

The general dash shape...i decided to make a TJ dash

I have a lot of work to do...but I'm liking how its coming out so far

 

[Mr.Joshua]

Dash is just about ready for paint

Mr Joshua had a little reconstructive belly button surgery:shock:

Got the seats and tunnel attached to the floor board

Just finishing the steering wheel and starting the console

 

[Mr.Joshua]

Steering wheel is done...not perfect but i think it will look ok painted up.
(it was a PITA!)
