Default J.E.E.P XJ # deuce now with 1.5s



When you see tiny screws like that, you know I am up to something...

and when I get one of these for x-mas...



Along with this



Yeah...its time to get frustrated


Stay tuned...more tiny ass nuts and bolts with lots of flat back and olive drab paint to come

Dont worry, that sammy is quite possibly a favorite of mine already Best part is, its drivable, and will remain that way since all I am really doing is detail work. I need to order some harris saftey silv so I can build the sliders and rear bumper. Also need to order styrene... damn...I have a lot of ordering to do

Indeed it is, my other one is gonna remain as the stocker/weekend warrior whereas this one is gonna be hardcore'd out...snorkel, winch bumper, beadlocks, bigger tires etc.

I was going flareless until I got the body and realized that the rear doors end right where the stock flares start so with the stock ones cut off the tires would be tucking into the doors...So I thought that might look bad since I am sure there is some body left on a real jeep when you cut the flares....or is there not? Plus, I had the flares since I bought these for the other XJ and just never put them on and now I am to scured to cut that body

as for the Atomic Toy... ill get back to you after I get the rear flares on

Its gonna be a lot more hardcore looking then my other, as far as cutting it up... if I was BD and had Boyer on speed dial and had a full tube frame under the body I would cut the doors off and roll tube doors....but since thats unlikely Ill have to see what I can do without hacking it up.


More to come peoples, I have 2morrow and thursday off, gotta sand the rear flares (had to fill air bubbles in the resin) then get them semi mounted...then I can start laying some paint if its warm enough.
