OK well this showed up today so I guess it is time to get back to work on this Wrangler! I just need to find some time in between feedings and naps and changing diapers!!!

I love the professional packaging too. Very cool!

Awesome Bob!

I can't wait to see it on the rig!

eddievedder · 10-16-2009, 02:33 PM

Since these showed up today I can update this build with actual progress though it may not be much it is something.

I love the wheels and they have a sweet track width too! Perfect Jeep 1.5's!!

Dude that looks so sick! I need to sell off some stuff so I can get a few things buttoned up and start on a new Jeep with the soft top. 1.5s on Jeeps FTW

prusik333 · 10-16-2009, 03:43 PM

Haha , way ahead of you. It is a bit wider though but I am building a hard top TJ over on www.rcjeeps.com and I am going to use the top. Just need to narrow it.

cool! cant wait to see that one, too!

dbremkamp · 01-09-2010, 08:52 AM

Any updates on this?

vipxj · 01-09-2010, 11:55 AM

So have you wheeled the 1.55 stompers ,and if so ,do they hook up ok?
Are they a good allround tire?

LS1Armyboy · 01-11-2010, 11:11 PM

i had the same WB issue you had, and got the same "fix" from rc4wd. i was pissed and it seemed like it wouldnt hold up that well under hard driving on the rocks and trails. so i decided to piece together my own 4 link kit for it, out of rc4wds website, and now its dead on, but i also have the same driveshaft issue, which i havent solved, so if you could please pm me which drive shafts you used to fix that i would greatly appreciate it!
i was impressed but once all built i was upset, but i happy now that its fixed up.....the right way!

I dont know what drive shaft it was. I had an extra that RC4WD sent me for my regular trail finder kit. They originally sent a drive shaft that was too long for that kit. I had it ever since and used it here. It fits great on the YJ trail finder.
