Liking the new look. Very nice painting. It looks nice without the brush guard.

This is what I was shooting for with the addition of the winch.


I am thinking of going the SDI XL's instead of the regular Trail Doc's

It is looking like it's gonna end up that way.
Would the XL's be too big?

very nice! That winch look great. I think, when I rebuild my poor beat up G, I'll use the same. Keep it up!

interesting.
After I finish my rover build I was thinking of repainting the gwagon. Silver and black gwagons are all over the place here but the other day I saw a white one and a gunmetal grey one and both looked really good.

fyi, AeroSynch-the brush guard only came on the AMG g55, not the standard gwagon/g500 1:1 model. Mine gets abused so its staying on.

Thanks again for the comps!

I had intended to start the roof rack and lightbar today. But the "what would this look likes" started and the Safari Snorkle started..... Here is the progress, I don't think I'll have it finished until later tonight




This where it's at right now......

Here's the finished product. The putty I used was bad, and wrecked the previous tube I was using.



Will have it painted and mounted in the morning

Thanks guys! I'm just getting started

A bit of an update, I got most of the roof rack and stuff brazed up this aft. going to get it cleaned up and off to a bud of mine for blasting and powder coating. The 2-3 week turn around will kind of suck but will be worth it........
