The body is a new bright jeep liberty body. I bought it from my nephew.
This is by no means going to be a quick build. I'm taking my time. I have a wife and kids ya know.
I've got to think Poprivet for the brazing tips. Still working on my skills though.
Suggestions are welcome.

The next couple of pictures are kinda what I'm going for.






Here is my build so far.

Thanks. I've got more pics to post. Just need to find time. I ran out of soder but bought some more today.

[grandbolin]

Got some work done on the front fenders today. Still need to finish the passenger side.







I also got my F9 axles assembled. Got to give a big thanks to espntang25 for the hook up. I also received my GCM motor mount in the mail from Elchupacabra. Both are top notch guys in my book.

Excited to see where this build goes. Glad the GCM stuff is going to good use. Looks awesome so far.

Thanks man. I can't wait to try out the front mount and transfer case. Thanks again for the parts.

[grandbolin]

A little update, I decided to put the grill back in. Still have some detail work to do on it. Also finished up the fenders and my shocks came in. I got to give a shout and thanks to Strychnine for the awesome deal on the Kings. I also mounted up my front engine mount and servo. Does anybody have any good ideas on how to make or mount a panhard bar mount on the F9 axles?

[grandbolin]

I got some more progress completed. I also picked up some MIP's.















I also had a guy 3d print me some seats

[rckjeep]

Killer start. I'm excited to see where this goes.

[grandbolin]

Okay guys, I'm not real good with batterys and the metric system. My plan is to get two batteries and place them on the floor on each side of the transfer case and then build a floor pan over the top of the batteries. Does anybody have suggestions on batteries. They need to be no wider than 2 inches and no long that 4. Of course they also need to be lipo and I'm running the stock esc. And go!!!!

[grandbolin]

So I know it has been a while but there has been a lot of progress. Here are some pics.


Built a spare tire mount.




Some inner fenders.








Got some taillights at Christmas time. I think they turned out pretty good.






Started on the interior also.

[grandbolin]

So I know I haven't posted any updates in a while but I have picked up some goody's in the last month. I still haven't decided on a color for the body yet. I'm kinda thinking a fire orange with black accents. I'm open to suggestions. Let me know what ya guys think of my build so far.

First off my wife bought me a RC4WD winch


Second I picked up a sick grill I had a buddy 3d print. Mad props to Sean Gross. Check him out on Facebook at Anarchy RC. I outfitted the grill with some scale hardware from RC4WD.



I also picked up an RC4WD stubby front bumper off of Amazon. I think it is turning out pretty awesome.


Here it is all put together.


Hope you guys are enjoying my build so far.

It most definitely is. I love building on this thing.

[grandbolin]

So I've done a couple things to the Liberty. I ordered some SSD Pro knuckles and C-hubs, Locked up Rc cvd's and a Locked Up locker for the front axle. The rear axle will get upgraded next. I also started in on my door panels. Enjoy



















Axle rebuild time.

[grandbolin]

So I have made some progress. Got a little further on my interior. Also had to replace my transmission gears. Went with the SSD metal gears. I also picked up a set of Locked up RC Ascend wheels with their gridlock beads. Outfitted the wheels with a set of Proline Hyrax tires. Them things grip like no other. I really like the way this build is turning out. Let me know what you think.

[diesel kawboy]

That's pretty sweet! I've got a liberty body but am waiting until I have the time to do something with it. Totally diggin the buggy look of the KJ!

[grandbolin]

So. Little update. I got some more locked up goodness. Heavy weight locker for the front axle. Some heavy duty rear axle shafts and scale locking hubs. Also got some axial underdrive/ overdrive ring and pinion along with a new bearing kit.

So something drastic also happened. I chopped the top and rebuilt the upper cage. Let me know what you guys think.

Very unique looking rig - the cage work looks great!
