I started watching this build and then I got side tracked. I just read through
this........It is a sweet build.

The frame turned out great!!

Jester666 · 04-29-2009, 03:04 PM

It just keeps getting better every time i check the updates. Great job.
Sorry if i missed it but whats the wheel base on this?

romulus22 · 04-29-2009, 04:36 PM

thanks alot for the compliments guys

it has a 9 3/8" wheelbase.

romulus22 · 05-02-2009, 12:14 PM

made a couple seats this morning. started on the seat brackets. gauges should be in next week.

romulus22 · 08-02-2009, 08:02 PM

well guys, i recently put this up for sale and i'm kinda glad it didn't sell. i have alot of time in this so i figured i might as well finish it.

just finished making the seat mounts (they still need painting) and finished up the rolling chassis.

Nice work on the body, your build it hella sick!

rcjeepbuilder · 08-03-2009, 06:15 AM

Awesome build! Love the cjs!!!!!! Is their anyway you could get us a front pic so we can see how wide the axles are under their? Or better yet a video!!

romulus22 · 08-03-2009, 04:49 PM

thanks guys,i still have a little bit to do before its a runner but here's a head on shot

red_zook · 08-03-2009, 08:50 PM

very cool. lots of respect for your work.

romulus22 · 08-04-2009, 07:20 PM

very simple dash

Stallion1967 · 08-04-2009, 07:54 PM

that things sick but I would widen the axles a bit. looks tipy

romulus22 · 08-04-2009, 08:12 PM

Looks like a stock axle narrow trac CJ to me.

Sydwaiz · 08-04-2009, 11:13 PM

Ya, the width looks perfect to me. My 73 has narrow track axles and the ratio your tires stick out looks to be about the same as my 1:1. I don't have flares either. Keep up the great work!

romulus22 · 08-08-2009, 06:42 PM

made some shifters

rnpnick · 08-08-2009, 07:37 PM

I love this build. Simply love it.

romulus22 · 08-09-2009, 09:51 AM

thanks man

Stallion1967 · 08-09-2009, 11:07 AM

let me see if i can find the materials. or if you want i can just make you the tubs and you can make the soft part with whatever you want

romulus22 · 08-10-2009, 04:19 PM

well guys i finally made a fuel cell to hold the battery. i need to touch up the paint a little. all i need to do now is lengthen the wires on the ESC to run to the tank.

no electronics visible on this rig

also after alot of trial and error i finally found a way to get everything mounted up under the hood

and an overall view almost ready to run.
