Re: Damo's jeep build
 

I finished up my bumper and decided I didn't like my door cut so removed them altogether ...

I took it for a run at the UK sale nationals and enjoyed it but decided the wheel base could do with a stretch ...

Before

After

I also built a new lower cage because my old one was about 5mm to high to run the screen (originally wasn't going to run the screen)

Re: Damo's jeep build
 

Did a bit of a poor job of cutting the shell so it needed some filling

Fill, sand, prime, fill, sand, prime, reinforce, fill, sand, prime...

Re: Damo's jeep build
 

very nice lil Tj. me and my son are currently building him a new bright Tj also. and oddly, the topper we built has kinda the same look as yours.

we haven't started a build thread yet, but we will soon, I have been tacking some pics along the way.

rig looks really good, keep it up"thumbsup"

Re: Damo's jeep build
 

Then today I hit it with some colour ... Little sneak preview for you guys!

Re: Damo's jeep build
 

LOL, disregard our topper looking close to yours now. it looked like your's the way you had it before.:lmao:

Re: Damo's jeep build
 

I quite like the twin hammers wheels on it too but then I like how the pitbulls work ... I was also looking at the Proline TSL SWAMPERs as I have them on my Wraith and really like them.

Re: Damo's jeep build
 

Lol ... I do still have that one and also a spare body for it
So I well end up with a second body for this as I still like the other cage.

Re: Damo's jeep build
 

Quick mockup after some paint for you guys today ...
