I LOVE this build, but honestly...and I'll always be honest, there are builds on Crawler that are absolutely mindblowing in terms of fabrication, design, engineering and execution that will never be featured anywhere else.

As a builder, I strive to achieve these levels, and if I were you, I'd focus more on learning how to get to the next level rather than resting on a magazine feature showing your work so far. There's tubework, custom chassis work, custom brackets, body work, interior work, scale videos and video editing, Photography (you have that down in the pics...but need to get some great scale shots in the wild)....plenty of avenues to explore. My showtruck is on RC4WD's website, and that was amazing at the time. But...it doesn't mean it's perfect. Don't let me talk you out of anything. Your rig is sharp for sure. That's my two cents for the night.
I know man, i've seen threads about this guy who built a fire truck from a scratch, built the body and everything on was just SICK. my rig would be no where right next to his work, but i brought this whole thing up cuz i've seen couple JKs featured on websites, so i wanted to give it a shot, anyway, you sir are up there too when it comes to fab and body work i've seen your thread this morning about your 2 fords.
man there is no place where i can take my jk and try it out in NYC.

sorry if im coming off as rude but im only being honest.
lol no Prob, you are right %85 was an assembly, welded a new bumper on the chassis cut out fenders ans some other work here and there, but what i meant is the way it came out together i didnt even expect it to look like this, anyone can turn a 2mm hex driver and anyone can assemble a a rig together but i also think that only a few of us who can reach the levels of (scale) looking. ive seen threads that was built from a scratch and all but dont have that (scale look) your looking for, and that was my main focus from the beginning. but at the end you are absolutely right i wish i could change the title to JK assembly, if its possible let me know how and i'll change it.
you just went HAM on me i guess its time to go light up my hookah and relax. lol
thanks for the advice man.

edit...I couldn't get a read on the sound unit...Post up a youtube vid of it installed and running. All I'm getting is running sound...not acceleration sound.

moedawi, I must say, you take criticism well. VERY well. And that on the forums is something to be proud of. When Kaneohecrawler posted...he's right...An assembly build is just that. You don't want to get a trophy for coming out and building a rig anyone can do and call it done.

Check out his new and past builds...great work, and awesome fabrication. I'd also check the thread link below...and look into each of the builds featured here and go through their build threads. You'll very quickly realize that a pretty build is pretty. Each of these builds has Hundreds of hours of fab work in them. They may not be JKs, and may be hardcore... but you'll understand why an assembly build will only go so far as far as recognition.

I love your attitude towards all the criticism and opinions. I don't care what others think, I still love this Jeep! Certain things appeal to certain people, this one had me from the first time I laid eyes on the Jeep. Now stop adding things to it before I can't afford to buy it from you anymore!

I've been following JOE for years. His builds are absolutely amazing. That firetruck isn't even his best work! He used to have a website with lots of pics of his trucks. It kind of evaporated though unless I'm missing it somewhere. He's also a really nice guy to speak with as well.

As for the shrink wrap...it looks pretty cool from here.
On the sliders, there are plenty of guys in the vendor section that can hook you up. I don't want to mention anyone over the other. If I were you, I'd jump in, grab some brakeline and a mapp gas setup and start fabbing!

The shrink tube looks great on the drag/steering links. Turned out good man! I too like how you were able to piece together this build My JK is very similar int he fact that its stuff you get off the shelf with the exception of the bumpers that are being designed and built soon. Its a great start man. I would hate to scratch it but they are meant to be driven lol.
