Very nice of you to say.

Here's my bumper. Just a little aluminum L channel, screws, spacers and the old bumper off my Gelande II.



That bumper might be temporary, but wanted to at least get something made up and on there.

That bumper really doesn't look too bad on there. You can cover the holes with some bumper stickers that express your love for ham radio and gravy.

Aussie Al stopped by today with a early Christmas present for Turk.

I went outside to enjoy the beauty of our ice storm. Some people still have no power, and may not have any until after Christmas, which sucks. Turk offered his Tiyote mattress for friends to sleep on, everyone declined...

This thing definitely needs some of the yellow RC4WD old man emu shocks to finish off the look.

I have been following this post since the beginning and all I can say is WOW! Being an owner of a 1:1 FJ60 for over 20 years this build really hits home. I hope that one day I will have the skill and patience to build one of these myself as this is what I want on an RC chassis. Excellent work as always.

I've been waiting for the 70mm ones to be in stock. Then it'll truly be finished.

Thanks very much, glad you approve. This was definitely a challenging build.

Thanks!

Here's that video I've been promising. Just a quick one, as unfortunately, the rear axle exploded going up the first hill. It made for some challenging terrain choosing. Haven't opened it up to determine what the problem is, but I think the ring gear isn't meshing with the pinion.

Enjoy!

You're spot on with that. I got back to the house, and there was a huge salt stain on the mat where I let it dry out. I came back another hour later and all that was left was rust.
