Default Project: Cloverfield scaleoffroad Jeep XJ No. 049

Well I will keep you guessing on what the actual rig is for a few days, until I have it in hand. There is a hint in the title, that a few of you will probably be able to guess what I have been working towards since August '09. It isn't quite done and only a roller but it should be here soon.

Specs and pics coming SOON!!!

You know you're good when you get a 5 star rating before you even mention or show what you are doing

Haha, no real pressure.

I did promise on scale4x4 that I might post up a teaser pic so here it goes...

It still is not here but once it is, I will add some final touches to it.



The paint that I chose is automotive Jeep "Amber Fire". Stephan from scaleoffroad who built it said if he ever builds himself another one, that he might just paint it this color. He said the pics do it no justice and that the color really is awesome in person.

I planned on going with black wheels but the white is growing on me. We shall see once I have it, what kind of personal touches I add. Definitely a roof rack and a working winch and such.


Did I mention it is the new chassis with sliders and rear leafs and front coils? Could this Jeep be any cooler?
Enjoy
