| 1.5 New Bright Jeep TJ
Well I have been out of the game for a few years now, but my grandson got a new bright TJ for Christmas from a friend, and of course the gears started turning. So after talking to my grandson he agreed that I could have the body and build him the best scale that I am capable of. I am gonna model this after my 1:1 TJ. So here is how it starts. The 1:1 And yes I will build the trailer as well. Here is the body. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk |

So I got ahold of my buddy Jessie @ jwalker designs and he had a box of spare parts that he let me get from him and that is where it begins. Ok so as of now the plan is to narrow the SCX-10 axles that I have to give it a more realistic track width, do a forward motor on it so that it has the motor under the hood, and do a panhard bar and 3 link in the fron and a 4 link in the rear. In the process I think I am also going to learn how to braze and make my own bumpers and sliders. Last edited by TXJeeper1; 02-25-2017 at 11:37 AM. |

Well got some progress done, just a little though. I got my material in for the frame rails. 1/4" aluminum. So then I traced out what the frame rails need to be on some cardboa, cut it out and then traced it onto the aluminum. As soon as the weather clears up a little I will take it outside and cut them out and get them cleaned up. Next I did a little trimming on the body to get it ready for painting. |
