The whole truck will be based on this truck, possibly my all time favorite 1:1

Looking very cool, where did you get the Jeep body from. Is hat the final height for the front end or will it go higher?
I've had pics of that Defender on my computer for ages waiting for someone to make a decent 1/10 replica.

tires look excellent

but im confused, the pics are a LR and the body is a grand cherokee?

Looks like a great start Tim."thumbsup"
Knowing your skills,I can't wait to see some progress.

Seeing some of his other builds, I bet he turns the Jeep INTO a Land Rover.

Great start. I watching this one.

Alright guys, let me rephrase it. The Disco is the "inspiration" for the Grand Cherokee build. I just love the stance of the Disco, the stretched wheelbase, chopped out fenders, low overall height, etc.

This truck is my other inspiration, Jasons old truck (H3RESQ). You will see some similarities between his truck and my build.... like bumpers annd spare tire carrier.

You have to love wheel'n with the grand cherokee's, leather, and that V8

Lol that's the same exact way my tranny looks, on my build right now. I've got the same spur and mount.

She's a roller.

I just need to work on things like the electronics, battery tray, receiver box mounts, bodywork, paint, bumpers, etc......

Thanks, I love the Flatirons cut down like that. The knuckles are high steer that I got from Tammies.

looks killer in white! I'm digging this build. looks appropriately rugged, like the disco inspiration.
I love the front suspension set up. looks clean.

What do you think of this color?

It will get a light wet sand, and a couple coats of clear Wednesday.
