Ok so I tuned the suspension and I felt that it was ready for a true test. Found a cool spot to wheel and took the Comeback TJ on its first run.

Action shots! This bad boy wheels better than it looks!! Who would have thought Kevin Garnett was into 4 wheelin!!!I was very impressed by its capabilities and I think the spare tire in the rear as opposed to hanging off of the back help[ with distributing the weight.

Enjoy. Ps. video to come if I can get it to work...

A few more action pics and some video.

Please note: This was my first time making any sort of video with RC. Also It was done with my phone. Not the best camera or camera guy LOL

Thanks for watching this build and making suggestions/comments. I am calling it "done"!!! For now... I will still attempt to chassis mount the steering servo but other than that this is a finished product. I am pleased how it came out. Thanks to Bonards29 and his sick cage/sliders that he made for me!

The homemade beadlocks on all for wheels are done. Very time consuming but i think they look pretty good.


Added some SOR Jeep emblems to the rear hubs as well



Flexing out with his buddy the EVIL YJ. Jeep Jamboree time!

I went to the beach today and it was beautiful outside. I only brought one rig and now I wish that I brought more.

The beach was empty and I only had a few onlookers. Damn seagulls LOL

I sold this Jeep over a year ago and I was curious who owns it now. Does anyone have any info?

Nice job on the Jeep, hope you find it.
A lot of Jeep builds on here, but yours had sense of personality as I looked at the pics.
Maybe it's just me.
