This what you were looking for?

I don't have a G55 body but here's a pic on my FJ...

tjb · 02-25-2008, 05:25 PM

Looking great!!

I'm liking the wheel set up, the rings really make them pop!

rcjeepbuilder · 02-25-2008, 05:33 PM

A BIG Thanks goes out to 4U2NV..!!

for building me this custom Roof rack for the wagon..! It came out awesome..!! Got it all painted, and mounted up this afternoon.. I threw a bunch of scale stuff into it, just to snap some pics- there will be less in it when it hits the trails..!! Oh yeah, I added a custom Light bar as well as custom making, and installing a snorkle today too..!! Now this snow's gotta melt, so I can go out and wheel the tires off it..!!!!

AeroSynch · 03-01-2008, 07:53 PM

Very nice!
Now we need action pics.

4u2nv · 03-01-2008, 08:36 PM

The rack looks good up there... What are you going to do if you get stuck though? I don't see a jack on there.

tjb · 03-01-2008, 08:37 PM

Looks darn good man! Great job

LOL..! Here ya go..!

FINALLY got to hit the trails to see what this thing can do..! Not too bad, for a Heavy truck..! These G55 Bodys DON'T like rocks..!

LOL..!

pantablo · 03-07-2008, 05:37 PM

hahaha, that looks familiar. yeah, the g body is surprisingly heavy (top heavy too).

Yours looks great. That roof rack is killer. Makes me want one for mine...
I may turn some attention to it now that the rover is done. Thinking of painting mine gunmetal grey.

51WillysJeep · 03-07-2008, 05:44 PM

Yeah, it IS top heavy, and trust me, a loaded roof rack dosen't help at ALL..!! LOL, Makes you drive it that much MORE carefully..

Heres a few more from today...

pantablo · 03-07-2008, 06:02 PM

Those last 3 are great shots!

I was shocked when I compared the rover and the gwagon bodies. Like night and day. The G is just so big and square, and heavy. Adding a bunch of weight to the wheels definitely helped mine a great deal. I had my tires glued already so I added them to the inside of the wheel lip.

Yours looks so 'pretty'...I vaguely remember mine before the rocks had their way with it. Watch those mirrors! Put a screw through the bottom of them before they break off.

wrx-n-ktm · 03-08-2008, 01:23 AM

Chris,
WTF.............. You have way to many kick ass rigs, stop it already

Now get back to work on my Jeep and Jacks

JK ,kind of

Oh and good job on the G

Is the Rover body alot lighter than the G55..? Yeah, I can see how adding weight to the rims will make this alot better to drive ( how much did you add..? ) ..and Yes, I will do that mirror trick you said too..!!!
