|  Project JK Brute
I starting cutting away at my 4 Door JK body, in the idea to make a Jk Brute. This is my inspiration, and what I hope the final looks like, with some minor changes like a longer bed:  What I have done so far:    The cardboard mockup (LWB):  Most recently, what I got in the mail today!! 2 11.5" x 11.5" x .030" White Styrene 2 11.5" x 11.5" x .060" White Styrene 2 11.5" x 11.5" x .080" White Styrene 3 11.5" x 11.5" x .060" Black Styrene 2 11.5" x 11.5" x .080" Black Styrene 1 11.5" x 11.5" x .100" Black ABS  |

Nice start. I am liking these JK Brute builds.  It's something different from the 'norm! |

Progress so far. Made a rear bed wall. I have to make one also for the rear of the cab, since the bed and cab are two separate parts.    |

Stopping here for tonight. I modified the front bumper like igotit did on his JK. Also removed the plastic sliders. Tomorrow I will start to remove the flares from the rear half to use on the bed.      |

Got some new tires for the Brute. I felt that the Flat Irons were too big and wide, and I like the looks of these.  |
