After seeing 2brokefor1:1's xj build on http://scale-desert.com/ I was inspired to do something similar.

I've taken the lazy approach and just bolted stuff on to acheive the look.

Nice idea, it's great so see someone thinking outside the box (even if the credits goes to 2brokefor1:1). I like the fuel cap btw :p

Thanks man, with out 2brokefor1:1's idea/thread it would have never crossed my mind to something like this. The fuel cap is a decal from the HPI rubicon sticker sheet.

That is fawking sick, I love rigs like this. How good are those tires? Haven't really heard anything about them since RC4WD released them.

Thanks I haven't got to test them out yet but I'm dying to. I'm not really worried about rocks so much, the sand and dirt is where I hope they work well.

Thank you sir, I'll get those measurements ASAP for you, thanks again. This bumper is one tough beast, it takes hits and keeps going.

I took out the axial 27T out and put in a 35T. The tires crawl ok but the diffs always hitting things first. So far they work good in the sand and dirt that was as this location.
