Tried to decide if I shod cut the doors or not

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)

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...

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

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.

So I well end up with a second body for this as I still like the other cage.
