Default A.j. Kustoms "lil' yj brute"

Well it's a new year, so I guess it's time to get my butt in gear and build something.

I'm thinking on something along these lines.





Here's the specs:

- AXIAL SCX10 chassis & drivetrain
- HAND BROS. CMS
- HAND BROS. Rear 3 Link
- TRAXXAS Big Bore Shocks (front)
- TAMIYA Touring Car Shocks (rear)
- GCM Transfer Case
- TEKIN FXR
- TEKIN Pro 35 Turn
- SAVOX SA-1283SG (steering)
- HITEC HS-7940TH (winch)
- RC4WD Jeep Wheels
- RC4WD Micro Baja Claws

So far She's linked up & rolling.

How well does the rear shock setup work?

I've had great luck with this setup! This is the 3rd Jeep build I've used it on, it performs very well.

I usually do 4 link the rear, I guess I'm just not happy unless I make things difficult.

I haven't had as much time as I hoped, but I have managed to get the back of the cab closed in.





Now the fun part of filling & finish sanding!

I finally managed to get a little done on the back of the cab.





Hopefully I can start spending more time on this.

Looks good....funny after the Hilux I thought this was going to be my next build....I like things different....can't have a standard body.

Of course I could always do a Scrambler since I had one of those in college.
