mall crawler

[SACCO]

Aced one of my finals yesterday, got a paper done in another class, thought I would reward myself with a couple hours of building.

Jeep JK hard body
1/8" aluminum frame cut by me
tlt axles
hilux wheels
mudslingers
r2 tranny
55t lathe(fer now)
mamba maxx
DX3-R

Lots still to do, really wanted to get it to a rolling standpoint, and am happy with it so far. Needs to be lowered a little bit, but I am gonna wait til I figure out which shocks will go on it in the end. Still gotta make a bunch of stuff, but here is the progress so far:

Looks great SACCO, I knew you would end up using that body....lol.


Man those tires look good, where did you get them?

Great Build!!!

looks great, only thing i can see changing is the fact that the chassis hangs so low. try to tummy tuck it 1/2" or so.

its to make room for the tranny with the full interior. i ran into the same problem when i designed a couple chassis for that body for customers.

That is the stock color, might just leave it that way too.

I thought about doing a detached tranny and transfer case, but that was too complicated for a basher.

Glad to see you kept the body and built it. The jeep looks great!!!!

[cammok5]

only thing i would change is the tires. i havent seen any mall crawlers with bogers yet. maybe crushers.

Used to be the norm here in north LA. It was actually tsl swampers, but close enought.

Been having bad luck with hard body painting lately. Plus, I already got a red landy in the works.....

[JBHardwear]

Great Idea with the body clip cover, will you have this with you on the 31st.

[SACCO]

Probably will have it with me. Hope to have a faster motor in it by then too.

What motor do you want to put in it, I have a few hanging around here

eyeballing a 35t warrior or something similar. Maybe even a cobalt puller, but dont think I am running enough batt for that(20c 1500mah 3s lipo)

looks great get a 35t warrior its got wheelspeed but it still has awsome torque , kinda looks like what mine used to look like



but im rebuilding it as we speak, my chassie was hanging way to low
