UnlimitedJDBs Soft Top Jeep Wrangler LJ

[UnlimitedJDB]

This was my first build, and I think it came out pretty decent. I wanted to build a 1:10 version of my 1:1 2005 Wrangler Unlimited (LJ) which has the longer wheel base.

Here is the inspiration:

Love the expressions!

Fab'd a rack to match my 1:1...I took it off after a few runs cause it got hung up too much.

Made a pin keeper using a hi-lift jack

Used rubber tube for a snorkle and wind deflector

Used the spare western hoop on the rear to keep the spare from cating on steep approaches. Westerns have been removed for Rock Armour bumpers.

Made some D-Rings out of cotter pins.
