- Yesterday, we installed some rocks sliders that were used on the old LR3. - They came out nice! - Yes but they are to tight to the body. Maybe later we can make some new ones! - I founds these body posts to mount the body. - Well thought out. We can use these screws and tighten below the body. - Yes and then the body posts slide through the holes in the chassis cross member! - Let's screw ths in! - And widen the holes! Then we just use clips! - Perfect! - And now the electronis! - Damn this brushless ESC! Allways failing!!Lets replace all this! HobbyKing X-CAr brushed ESC, 35T RC4WD motor, and Spektrum receiver! - Ah! Ready for a test! And at night! We can try the lights! Awesome! - Damn! It's pitch black!!! - What a nice photo! - We are gone have to use black hot glue behind the leds - Yes, it's a good idea! Now, lets have fun! - Yeeeehhh!!! | |

| Re: Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon 2dr - We needed something to keep the hood open and here it is! - The mount is allready in place. - There! - We started adding some details, like for example the exaust! - With this exaust we get like more 10bhp! Hehehehe!! - Missing the antena. - Here she is! - I have to confess... I don´t like the plastic sliders... - Me neither, so... Out with them! - Meanwhile, I made these sliders out of steel! - Aahh! They look good! - Much better then the plastic ones! - Agreed! - And how about we go out and test them? - Sounds like a good idea!! - GO! GO! GO! GO! - Sliders doin work!! |

- What is all this junk in the middle of the way?! - I have no ideia! It was there when I arrived! - We better pack this up... We never know if this might be useful sometime soon... - You know, I think the Jeep needs a snorkel, so we can go into water without problems... - Ok, do you have something in mind? - I searched the interwebs and they were all too expensive... I believe that we can make one ourselves! From the ones I saw, the Rugged Ridge Modular XHD Snorkel System was the one I liked the most! We could try and do something similar! - So be it! Show me a pic! XHD Snorkel Kit, 3.6L, 12-15 Jeep Wrangler (JK) - After a lot of cutting, gluing and sanding... - Not bad!! - This will be the upper pipe after some detailing! - Putty! Putty everywhere! | |

| Re: Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon 2dr - After a lot of time, a lot of putty, a lot of sanding, here it is finally the finished snorkel! - It looks purdy! Even better when mounted! - Yes! Now we just need a reinforcement on the tube to be fixed on the body! - Sounds a good ideia! - Here it is, after a coat of primer. - All left to do is paint it black! DING DONG! - Huumm... Who is it?! - It's the postman!!! - Huunnnff!!! Two packages! - What do we have here? Some electronics for the Jeep... Need to change the connections! - And this one from Canada... Wha... THE TERRAMOD AXLE HOUSINGS FORM GCM!!!!!!!!!!! IIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH HH!!!! UUUUHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH!!! - They are finally here! YES! - UUUHHHUUUUHHHUHUHBBBBGRRRGGGRGRGRBBBRRRGGGHHHLLL!! ! - WWEEEEEEEHHHHIIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIH HH!!! - So beautiful! And they have ball bearings included! - I'm so happpppyyyy!!! - Oh! And also some stickers! - Nice!! - The rear axle! Love the truss! - The logo is very cool in there! - Here is the rear axle done. The brake calipers are a nice touch altough we are not going to use them! - Anyway it's a plus on my book! - Now we just need to shorten the front axle shafts! - After that, we have a new set of axles to use! |

Wow, working on the exact same project. Looks fantastic. How do you like those Baja MTZ's? Can't wait to see how they fair out.

- Sam and I decided to go for a ride with the Jeep, so, early morning we drove up a creek bed. I took care of the photos and Sam managed the wheel! - It was awesome! The Jeep handled beautifully! It has passed in places I doubted it would! No doubt we are very pleased with the Jeep! A thing to repeat! |
