Very cool!! I am running the same body and chassis. Still trying to finish my rear bumper and rack. Cant wait to see how this comes along..

Re: Northwest 1.5 LR3 Scale Trail Truck Build
 

Nice.. Those tires look big. I had that body with the 1.9 rock crushers and they looked similar. Cool truck!

Re: Northwest 1.5 LR3 Scale Trail Truck Build
 

Thanks man! They're 1.5's.... They look better in person...;-)

Re: Northwest 1.5 LR3 Scale Trail Truck Build
 

So I decided to abandon the original bumper design as I just couldn't get it sqaure with the tools I have.... So Tube Pre-Runner it is!

Also finished up the tube fenders and rock rails along with the winch mount.

Great build, I will be following. For some reason the background of your shop area makes the truck look even better. Real raw, love it.

Re: Northwest 1.5 LR3 Scale Trail Truck Build

If you are wanting to do interior, the new bright JK interior fits perfectly with a just a small gap at the dash to window. Just add a little styrene. I did it on mine and it looks great! Nice build!

Re: Northwest 1.5 LR3 Scale Trail Truck Build
 

Very nice!! Is that bumper made of 3/16 steel rod?

Re: Northwest 1.5 LR3 Scale Trail Truck Build
