Specs are:
Losi MRC
TCSCrawlers L trail chassis
Internal spring front shocks
Custom made rear leaf spring suspension set up
Sammy body with custom rear drop bed and cage
TCSCrawlers wideners
custom front bumper and winch
Hummer wheels

Plans are:

Thanks for looking
Mike

Damn Mike

should we call you kenny junior from the BST forum?

nice score, I love the look of the half cab and 1.9 setup.

Racer4Life · 12-23-2008, 02:55 PM

Mike...Do you know what was used for the fender wells?

Can't wait to see what you do with it.

ColquittCustom405 · 12-23-2008, 04:00 PM

Mike why don't you upload your pictures? When I'm at work I can't see crap, then I have to wait until I get home.

dirk379 · 12-23-2008, 04:48 PM

Same here colquitt, websense blocker is set to block all personal hosting sites.

But from the sounds of it, and knowing its coming from you. It should look great.

chino438 · 12-23-2008, 05:40 PM

can't wait to see what you do with this one mike! i still don't know what the plans are for my daughters zuk. maybe you can provide some pointers on how to approach the interior when you add your touch! lol.

neightfrog · 12-23-2008, 09:25 PM

I pay for photo bucket, plus I would rather not waste RCCs bandwidth...if I uploaded all the pics I actually take onto rcc it might explode...probably not...but still

Crawln Coles · 12-23-2008, 10:27 PM

That's a nice looking Sammy you got there Mike. I got to see it in person a few weeks ago @ ECIC. A few guys wanted to buy it, but he wasn't sellin it then.
I can't wait to see what you do w/the interior.

I have a set of Prowlers in good shape that I just swapped out for Mud Thrashers on my clone. LMK if ya need em

Thanks Matt,

Already getting started on it

The body comes with this spare tire thing (like a hard shell cover for the spare) to mount on the rear tailgate. The fender wells like that peice cut in half. Great ideal!!!!

Been working on this all day today, was up to 3am last night messing with it...I always feel better working on something when I know I can stop and drive it still. I hope to get this thing out soon.

Anyways, I finished the headlight conversion, gotta love Hilux roll bars lights. I also added the bezel back in, used a silver sharpie marker.

I then swapped in some prowlers, had to trim the beads to get them to sit right on the hummer wheels.

I am thinking of going with propane injection on this one, the hobby gear scale parts are just the right size for this rig

After web wheeling google yesterday, looking at all the cool sammys, I found quite a few with windshield mounted KCs. I had done that on my real CJ-7 and thought it would look cool on here. The Hilux lights were to big, so I busted out some the ScaleOffRoad's KCs, made a small bracket and was good to go.

I have also been going crazy with the panel pen, adding in all the door lines, tail gate, winshield, hood etc

Thats it for now, back to work

Thanks for looking
Mike

Cool project. I cant wait to start my MRC samuria.

Your project is pretty scale to my 1:1 sami. These two pictures are good comparison.

Grizzly4x4 · 12-24-2008, 03:46 PM

Too cool Mike!!

Now I'm thinkin a build using bruiser leafs to replicate the YJ spring swap. I've got a K2 Point Five that'll work great for this.
