I've debated doing that to the TJ. Would be nice to have a "work table" on it.

oh and by the way. looking forward to seeing what you make of your current build, "WHYJ"

looks interesting so far

romulus22 · 03-28-2009, 11:22 PM

alright i need some help deciding. ive been looking at this for a while and i think the thrashers are too small for the ride height i need for the clearance i need. i don't want to run trail docs so i was thinking of maybe the rock crushers or something along that size. let me know what you guys think

mud thrashers

trail docs

rcjeepbuilder · 03-29-2009, 09:12 AM

Great build! I say trail docs, But then again I always say trail docs!!!

ha thanks man. i do like them but i'm just wanting to try something different is why i say i'm not going to run them on the jeep. i'm really thinking about ordering up some rock crushers. just can't decide yet

I like the mud thrashers but with the stock car rims. Very cool build, btw.

Stallion1967 · 03-29-2009, 11:35 AM

Looks great man. I think the mud thrashers will look sick if you get some different wheels for it. no hook up the suspension and your done

If only it was that simple

romulus22 · 03-29-2009, 03:27 PM

hinges and latches

My tailgate says JEEP on it. Are you going to put that on yours or leave it blank?

i thought about buying some of those jeep emblems from scale off road. would be nice if i could coax someone on here to just print me off some stickers.

i wont be doing a rear bumper like that in the picture. it may get a simple tube bumper but i doubt it will get one at all.

romulus22 · 03-29-2009, 07:43 PM

couple more before bed

still in progress but what i'm shooting for. the battery will be covered by a fake fuel tank.

romulus22 · 04-02-2009, 03:37 PM

ive got a really good idea on how i'm going to do the tailgate. just been working alot of overtime and i'm not that motivated to work on this.

hartnsol · 04-02-2009, 03:49 PM

Looks real good man.

caci623 · 04-05-2009, 04:56 PM

Since he's going into a Jeep, I desided to go with a rugged look. Almost finished. Needs a little more paint and then a clear mat finish. Arms are just taped on for the picture. Let me know if you want any changes as it would be easy to do
