I can't just seem to stop. After see ser3100's first LJ (thank sr3100 for the inspiration and help) I knew I had to build one. I started collecting pieces to build this. Here's the spec's

Newbright TJ converted to LJ with full interior
Axial SCX-10 based
Tube work done by me, bumpers, sliders, cage, highline fenders, tube shock towers, etc
GCM transfer case driven off of Axial transmission under the hood
Custom chassis mounted steering setup
Tekin FX-R
Holmes 540 motor

A bunch of Axial Axle upgrades
Touring car shocks on the rear for a cleaner interior

Here's the initial body pics. I've got another couple hours of work on it then it will be ready. WB will be about 11.25". I had a left over rear end that I used to stretch it.

Get moving on this one Zach! I am finishing up my yoda and will be starting my mrc LJ next!

Well since all of your builds are awesome, this one should be right up there. I really cant wait to see what you come up with! Nice start! What wheels/tires are you going with?

If it's even close to as nice as yours I'll be thrilled. For now I'll be running TSL's on Axial BL's with MThead rings.

So many cool LJ's, so little time

It's gotta be finished now, been more than 12 hours since the last update

Seriously though, this is going to turn out great, I always look forward to your builds (and I always have reading material since you build so damn many lol).

Like the rear upper links . How much travel you got with the shocks on the back ?

With the shocks angles like that I'd say 80% of stock. Loosing a bit of travel isn't an issue for me and then then make interiors way easier.

Hey Zach check your PM's. Nice so far but where are you putting the battery?

The plan is on top of the supports for the rock sliders.
