|  "Comeback" Jeep TJ build
Well it has been a while since I completed a build of an RC rig. So I needed my comeback build and had a custom TJ chassis for a while and some loaded TLT axles. I had the NB Jeep TJ body so I started building a few weeks ago. Specs: Custom aluminum Jeep TJ chassis Locked and loaded smokin' TLT axles 1.9 HPI stockers to be modified RC4WD 1.9 Rock Crushes w/ modified lugs RC4WD R2 tranny Hi tech steering servo New Bright Jeep TJ body Custom Sliders by Bonards29 Sick a$$ custom cage by Bonards29 The rest will be added as I go. Here is the chassis set up.   I am going to do the flat fender.  Maybe soft doors  |

Body work prep  Not for sale...  My attempt at making "soft doors" made from fun foam from a craft store. The rough draft version. I will make a full set after my trial and errors are done...         |

The "Comeback" is looking very strong it has a good look and a sweet stance the narrower TLT axles help that. |

Thanks guys! Quote:
With the loaded TLT axles with cvd's, I wanted a 0 offset, 5 lug, beadlock. Well I went the cheapo route and made my own. Took too long to just make these two so I'm taking a break and I will make the other two plus the spare down the road. The angle of the picture makes the ring look a bit off but they are pretty dead on.   | |

No pics but an update anyway. Paint is on the cage/sliders/front/rear bumpers! I went with Tamiya light gunmetal. Paint on the jeep is drying. Flat black fenders and Tamiya brilliant blue. Pics tomorrow. |

A few update pics with paint. I still have to touch up the fenders with black. The cage paint looks light iin the pics but is much darker.   |

Moving along... I mounted the body. Industrial velcro front and rear. I may change the front mount. I'll see how it holds up to some hard wheeling. Mounted the front bumper with winch, and the sliders. I hope to get the soft doors on today.      |
