I just got this rig from lowslowTJ this past weekend on a trade. It is or should I say "Was" based on a CR-01 Wrangler. About the only CR-01 left of the rig is the axles, tranny and a very small amount of chassis.
Verne did a killer job making the exo cage, chassis extensions and aluminum skid.
All I've done to date is get rid of the stock tail lights and add the round flush tail lights, add a few decals and straighten out the suspension a little. I also painted the roof a satin tan so the rig wasn't so red.
Plans are to add these as soon as they get here which is why I placed this in the 1.9 section. 2.2's are on just to set up the suspension.

Also have a Reign CB whip on order and a 35t motor.

I have a a XL5 waterproof esc that I can use but I would like to use my 3s lipo so not sure, may go with a Sidewinder.

Thanks! I got the rings from a member a while back. The wheels with rings and tires are in the for sale section.;)

Looks mean!!!

Great tube work.

prusik333 · 09-23-2009, 04:11 AM

WOW! Awesome tube work and those body cuts came out clean

bmuzz1 · 09-23-2009, 08:40 PM

Thanks guys!

Got a delivery today from Corey over at RPP...Nice!

I had to swap out the bubs from my Yota for the Jeep because the outer axles were too long. I installed the new rc4wd hubs on the Yota with the use of some washers. I think they need to be drilled and tapped a little deeper for use with the steel wheels.

Looks great! these hubs are better for the Jeep. they look like Dana hubs while the others look like Toyota Asin hubs.

slash 127 · 09-23-2009, 08:52 PM

Thanks Verne! I'm not sure about the black hubs on my natural steelies though so I'll probably switch them back.

The Rok Lox hook up amazingly well. I watched a guy I was crawling with at the Worlds walk over rocks that the Flatirons and other 1.9 tires struggled with.

slash 127 · 09-23-2009, 09:22 PM

they look like the goodyear wrangler for 1:1 that we might get for our jeep

slash 127 · 09-23-2009, 09:24 PM

those wheels are also perfect for this build

Thanks again! I thought they were the perfect wheel for a jeep build as well.
