Copy machine crawling is my favorite.

Its behind the dash against the firewall. I just put super tacky velcro against the firewall and stick the battery to it. I had to do it this way to get the body as low as possible and still keep a full interior.

Nice job describing where it is, i'll try and get a picture of it for you KMS. It holds a 1350 3s no problem. I still never got the wheelbase measured for whoever asked earlier, will do that as well.

Thanks, I got a few on that climb! That one turned out the best. Iphone pictures are hit and miss. Most of them look good on your phone until you get them uploaded and find out they really aren't that sharp and clear.

I too wish they made the mtr/two face's in a 1.55, something between the stomper size and the irok size. Even a baja claw would be cool (yes they have a 1.5 bc but they look like a 52" on a 15" wheel=stupid). Dimensions are really important with the 1.5 tires. Until i see a new 1.55 tire the stompers are staying on. They are the best tire out for this body size IMO.

I couldnt agree with you more on the tires! I think the only thing left to do would be to pick up some K44 axles. But then again thats another $400 story!

Ahh the k44's. I've thought about it many of times. I think they would look really good under it but with how heavy this rig is i don't know if the internals would hold up. Another reason is you made the coolest 3link/panhard mount for TLT's i've ever seen. $400 holy ive never really added it up lets see... $300 for axles, 35 for xvds, 25 for hd rear shafts, 25 for each link mount. Yep $410. And to think, i could mess around with sdi's axles for less mulah than 1 of the k44's.

[ser3100]

Thanks! Hell yeah on the sdi's. I wanted the ballistic axles from rc4wd but i hate how huge the pumpkin is. They really gotta fix things like this at rc4wd. Tlts were cheap and the set u have is well built.

[KMS]

Thanks again ,I might be able to build a winch but when it comes to body work ,,oh,, ,Hope to do mine this winter ,,KMS

Hey erwin, the jeep master, good morning! No new updates really, i swapped out the black rc4wd shocks for the blue/billet ones for the bling factor and they're a little longer. But i'm planning a complete tear down, repaint the cage/armor, and new axles as soon as my current "project lovell racing" is finished. I've got a 4 day weekend ahead of me so hopefully i can get a lot of work done on it and get back to this. After seeing salmonfacesalad raise the bar with the TJ, i must try to get this on the same level

Oh yeah... The stompers suck in the snow... We need mooooore 1.55 tires!!

"#2 is off limits" Could have sworn i heard that before

[ser3100]

Oh snap those new pics are off the grid! What did you have in mind paint-wise?

[ser3100]

That last pic says it all! Something about the color, ambience, jet fighter streaks, scale ness screams awesomeness! Love it!

Haha thank you...i guess... you're the one who did all the work

Paint wise, same colors. All the paint touch ups ive done from rock rash are starting to look like different shade of the same color camo, and i want the paint all smooth again. The cage might be more silver or a lighter grey. vs the ford enamel grey. We'll see.

Yeah i like that one too, the scale "jet streaks" are huge powerlines but they did turn out to look like jet streaks i like it. Makes me feel like i'm stickin my head out of it wheelin.
