|  Scale cj7 class 1
Starting off with a tamiya wrangler body and an scx10 frame the plan is to build a scale version of my 1985 cj7 and what I would have liked to build it into, and also something to run class 1 local comps.  Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk |

| Re: Scale cj7 class 1
Still slowly ordering parts for this build, I'm robbing alot of stuff off my other Cherokee scx10 to build this one lol but started getting the wheel base set and started getting the rear links cut too length, I'll probably have to do some shock tower relocation. Started getting the fenders trimmed how I want them, lots of body work to do!   Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk |

| Re: Scale cj7 class 1  Bought a set of the 1.9, 5 lug wagon wheel like my old cj. Unfortunately I'm running 1.55 tires and they only make a 5 lug wagon wheel in a 1.9.  Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk |

| Re: Scale cj7 class 1    I got the front leaf springs mocked up, I didn't get the rear spring mounts in my order (probably my fault) but still trying to decide to put a coil over shock in the rear or go leaf sprung in the rear. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk |

| Re: Scale cj7 class 1  Started on one of the headlights, I know the grill is wrong but until someone can produce a cj7 body or grill in the states and cheaper than $150 this is my resort to the cj7 front end. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk |

Looks great, I like it. Going to take a whole lot of fender flare to cover half the tires. |
