Scale Jeep Wrangler
 

This is my first time building something like this, so feel free to criticize and offer suggestions. About 10 years ago I built this TLT jeep:

It was fun, but it broke and sat on the shelf for years until recently when I took it all apart and started over.

Here is where I am at now.

Changed the front links to a parallel 4 link with pan hard, and got the rear setup with a 4 link with triangulated uppers. Chassis is pretty much done, I need to figure out mounting for battey, electronics, and body, then clean it all up to be painted.

I haven't seen TLT's used on a rig in a long time. I love the stance this has, doesn't look freakishly huge and out of scale like most others.

Nice to see the rig back alive! Bet she is heavy though.

Re: Scale Jeep Wrangler "Patriotblue"
 

It has been slow, but I got the chassis, suspension, and electronics mostly done. There are still some little things I need to do here and there, then I'll move onto the body. I tried it out in the snow today and it worked really well, it is pretty stable.

Haven’t updated this in a while. The little Jeep is still alive, It has been claimed by my boy.

The tlt axles got too beat, they were always needing work. I stole these scx10 ssd axles from my other Jeep, they should hold up better.

This thing has been driven hard and just keeps going. The body is getting rough though. It’s time for a little restoration for this Jeep.

I cut off the fenders and flares, going to make some tube fenders and flares.

5 years goes by in a flash doesn't it? Nice to see an old rig still kicking. Shame about the TLT's though.

Fronts are done, now on to the back.
