Jeep Wrangler YJ....
 

I decided to do a build for the new wrangler body coming out.
it will be a leaf sprung chassis and follow all the curves of the real chassis.
the chassis is made out of 1/4" alum and has a c-channel as well. going to run a rc4wd tranfer case and use a axial tranny to power it.
here are a couple of shots do far....

i just need to find the right tire combo now

Ah silver TLT's

Looks good "thumbsup"

thanks Corey"thumbsup"
getting stuff ready for you

the axles are for getting all the measurements right.
i will use standard black ones later:)

i say paint the tlt's black; that way when they get scratched the silver will show through just like it would on a 1:1

Looks really great so far. "thumbsup"

What chassis is that? I've been wanting to do the same thing with my Jeep Wrangler for awhile. Thanks

I'm dying to see how the body looks on it, and with those tires. Awesome frame!

got the body in today. :lol:

body fits nice on the chassis. just need to figure how high i want it to sit, and to find a good mounting place.

Very nice, If i ever make a scaler it will be one of these but probably with some tubage."thumbsup"

Sweet chassis! Very cool build. sits a bit high for my taste but it rocks anyway cus its a YJ!!!

i brought it down a bit. i'm going to bring it down a bit more with some flatter arched delrin srings,

Looks like a good start! Tires are very large. Mud thrashers look better"thumbsup"

I'm new to this and I'm starting to plan a scale jeep build. I'm really curious where you guys are getting the bodies from? Ebay? I've seen a few of the tamyia jeeps but they are 400.00-500.00 is there another source?
