| my 2dr china jk with little VP treatment!
I've built me a few 4dr new bright jk's and decided I really wanted to check out these china jeeps! I ordered a couple, and once I got em in hand decided I really like these bodies!! And so here I go gonna try to see it all the way through to the end I started by using one of my scx rollers laying around and just happened to have a rampage front bumper with warn winch sitting here along with a jk rear swing out bumper with jerry cans and some r2j sliders (I believe) for now there won't be custom bumpers built but probably down the road! Here's couple pics of beginning stages just mocking things up |

Tried a couple door styles from this pic, obviously I didn't pay attention to the mirror area of the pic on the sheet metal skinned door lol, may need a little modifying but still pretty neat I think. |
