Default My new Tamiya Jeep

Made you look
This started as a pile of junk parts on my desk and now for $0.00 I have a new rig to trash since it is well, trash. I think I will blow it up next weekend.

Hey, when you can turn a pile of parts into something that is great. I like your work bench. Looks like mine most of the time.

Looks very scale. I have been watching e-bay for one of those New-Bright Rubicon bodies. There is one on there that is up to $60 (Body only). You can buy the whole thing for under $50 brand new! People sure are stupid.......that gives me an idea.

That looks awful nice for a bastard-ized throw-together. Although I think IFS on a Wrangler is a bit blasphemous.

The way the automakers are going, I wouldn't be surprised to see it on a Wrangler in the future! Wrong yes, but they aren't the smartest bunch it seems. Look how many doors they put on the Charger.
The rig looks cool for a parts pile, makes me wish I would have kept my old TA02.

It's funny how you clean off the bench and get everything organized and then BAM! Everything gets drawn to what you're working on again......Anyways Jeep looks good!

110 power cord from an old appliance. I use it on all of my rigs since I kill appliances like flies

Except my desk was never clean and organized to begin with, even when it was first put together it had junk on it.
