Of course I could always do a Scrambler since I had one of those in college.
Thanks Jonesy! With your body fab skills you should definetly build a CJ8.

I amputated the Flares & Steps.





Extended rocker panels back down and filled fender wells in a bit, ready for new flares!

This is a neat build. I can't wait to see some flex and action pics with that rear shock setup. Seems like a good idea for something with a drop bed. I have not seen it done that way before

I got some goodies from TCS last Friday and finally found time to do something with them.



I started off by making a shim plate for the T-Case.





T-Case & Drivelines installed, the MIP AX10 w/dig C-SPLINE Kit worked perfect!





The side mount on the GCM 4 Link Truss worked great, it let me keep the upper link tucked along the frame which should give me more room for the motor & trans. I amputated the 4 link mount.

I found a little time yesterday so I blew the dust off this and got the Trans mount done.





Hopefully I can keep moving on this little guy

What center skid is that? It doesn't look like the stock axial scx10 skid.

It's a HOT RACING 3 Piece Skid Plate. I like it because it's easy to get in & out of the frame once your tube work is done.

Out of curiousity, why did you mount the transmission upside down?

Just trying something different, it keeps the Spur Gear forward out of the interior & out of the hood.

Not a critique by any means, I was just wondering about the thought process. On another note, beautiful work, I'm subscribed.

Trans mount is slick. I like how it cages everything in. Clean work, looks great!
