Is the guy selling this legit? I asked for current pics and he said they were current even though they were from 2012 I may be wrong and would love to have that rig, but I say buyer beware unless he proves me wrong.

Last I heard of it, Rednck still had it. Just because I asked him if he was ready to sell about a year ago. Something is a bit fishy, even when I PMed the "current" owner last night.

I saw the ad on FB too... I've bought a few things from that guy and thought he was a straight shooter, but this is super sketchy...

Well I'm excited to get this. Rednk21 confirmed he sold it to RockBrawler and RB also sent me some current pics so all seems good

Wait... That's a Jeep?! I guess I could put a Toyota emblem on it and save it from being a Jeep. Play it off like its a weird concept or something.

Finally had some free time to tinker with it and drive it to see how it does. I was very impressed "out of the box", but I did not care for the 4 link setup in the front with a CMS. Vanquish LED light bar mounts, an RC4WD link and two screws was all that was needed to make it a 3 link with panhard. That made the suspension cycle much more fluid as well as keeping the steering straight, as a panhard should.




Parallel and perfect.

Thank you, Mike! That's very nice of you to say. I look forward to continue to improve it and give it the attention it deserves.

Thank you for building a spectacular LJ! I mean the attention to detail is just out of this world.

With some brainstorming, some of the things I would like to do are:

-RC4WD Ultra Scale driveshafts (if they ever come back in stock)
-Inner fenders
-HeyOk 2 position switch (because its cheaper than getting a new radio)
-Possible hardtop or soft top??
-Brake rotors
-Use my styrene skillzz to build a GenRight Fuel Cell for behind the rear seat
-Try to adapt Axial universals for the K44 axle housings.
