Wife’s 2025 g6 build

[Jfrisch1]

Debating on if I like the basecamps sliders on here or not. I feel like they fit well and look pretty decent. The door opens with no issues and for the most part they cover the rockers.

I will obviously have to get some new ones for this one, I trimmed the front of the slider to clear the tires on my basecamp.

With a little trimming on the tabs that mount to the belly of the slider, I could probably push them tighter to the body too

Okay but cmon, what better to suit the pink truck than a cheetah print seat cover? Sheeeeesh

Cheetah? Think "panther"!
Got that tune stuck in my head now...

If this thing gets anymore realistic, I’m gonna drive it to work.

From bland and boring



To a 22re v8

Another piece to this puzzle just came in. I’ve been needing this to get the wires all ran, servos hooked up and power this thing on!

Couldn’t ask for much more. This box is sick. Print is 100% perfect. Wish my 3d printer could print like this lol.

Highly suggest getting one. Smithbuiltscale on Etsy.

Tiny update:

Got the bed box mounted and the wires ran to it. I made a 6” extension for the xt60 plug and servo extensions to reach the box and not be pulled tight. Waiting on the shift servos to finish it all off.

Powered it all on and test drove it around the house. Some slight trimming on the bumper is needed but other than that it’s pretty planted, had it on three wheels pretty sideways with no tipping. Shocks could use some love though.

Really makes me happy to stuff all this in the box and close the lid. Out of sight out of mind!

Best thing about it is the body doesn’t have to come off on the middle of the trail to change batteries and the rx is up high so if the rig sees any water it should be fine.

Finally all the parts came in and I can put it all together.

Dig and two speed is hooked up and working now. Body is all mounted.





Now to add all the scale bits and pieces we collected to bring it all together and I can start packing for the g6 this coming weekend!

Thanks! I’m loving the way it came out.

Now, I’m going to build myself one. More trail rig but same size. Half doors and some armor, cause I plan on using it and pushing it hard.

G6 update on the truck.

It did so good. My wife absolutely loved driving it and she put the hurting on it. Rig was ran through rock gardens, soft sand, mud and water and everything in between. She also had a 10.3 gladiator and that didn’t even get touched because she would rather drive this one. That’s a win in my book!

It did come with some trail rash, lost a mirror and popped the black trim pieces around the rear side windows. Not bad, all things considered!



Also, the pink Toyota helped win the show in shine with the “best tow rig”. My dually k10 tf2 pulled it on my trailer.

Gratz on the award, all that work was worth it. The trail rash just makes it look better. That’s great she had so much fun with it, you’re a lucky guy.
