nice steady progress...

I'm going to make a tail light bugket for the flat LEDs I picked up, ill address all of that at the same time..

Isn't the R-2 and that transfer case to much reduction? This thing is going to be slooooow.

XSRCdesign · 03-04-2009, 07:49 PM

Should be ok with a larger pinion and the motor I have in there ( that is a 550 21t single )

XSRCdesign · 03-06-2009, 12:51 PM

Have a bit more progress on the interior, the structure is all there, now I can start to make it actually look like something..

XSRCdesign · 03-06-2009, 02:28 PM

A little more progress...

I moved the transfer case up, and the batteries down a bit (very small amount, but every bit counts) here you can see how they all fit under the floor

I also continued filling the holes in the floor, here is a overall interior tub shot with out the body

I am considering using the last set of recaros I have, I was playing around with placement here..

XSRCdesign · 03-06-2009, 06:25 PM

Snuck into the basement while the girlfriend was giving the dog a bath...

I decided to start on the dash, obviously I still have a ways to go...

That's it for tonight..

I hope so, I am planning on using it as my 1.9 rig...

rcjeepbuilder · 03-12-2009, 05:06 PM

Killer work, I cant wait to see this thing up and running!

XSRCdesign · 03-13-2009, 03:30 PM

Ok I put it off long enough, time to get the good stuff started..

I needed a place to mount a winch, and something to protect the front of the body..

I started with some graph paper and made a template..

then using the bandsaw and bench vice, I transfered it to a sheet of steel

With winch mounted

Added a little stinger bar

and then added a little reinforcement

I'm hoping to move my focus to the rear tonight..

4x4mtb · 03-13-2009, 03:39 PM

looking sweeter evertime i see it.

XSRCdesign · 03-13-2009, 03:51 PM

Ive been sitting here staring at this part for like 10 mins...

I think I'm ready to weld em in..

Opinions?
