| Xjmachine's Grand cherokee WJ
Finally got these bodies to the US Gonna model it after this one Here are the bodies. I grabbed several as i can foresee a very limited supply of these Got my scx2 a while back. Mocked up on the chassis. Stocl bumpers need to be trimmed off the body to fit the JCR bumpers Gonna use locked up for the wheels. But i think im going to get some 2.2s to stretch over 1.9s to get the 17" look More soon Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk |

it's gonna look Good but why not use a 1.9 rim that looks like a 17 . those wheels and tires on the jeep in the pics are not 17 lol they are more like 20s and really looks out of proportion on that jeep.

That'll look sweet taking the kids to soccer practice! Can we go grab some fro-yo when it's done!? I'm only teasing. Shaping up to be a fine build, and those bodies look to be of good quality. |

Do you have a set of the 1.55 Growlers? I think they would look super scale.

So i decided to get the bumper situation figured out I really like the scx2 bumper because it is the same style as the one im going for The bumper hugs the grill and headlights very tight on the wj version But the angles are not correct on the scx2 bumper So! Naturally; I decided to modify the stock one. I started with this Then made some cuts to fold in the bumper sides to the correct angle Here they are folded in and welded shut I did the same to the ends to bring them out, and filled in the gap with some styrene so it will retain its strength NOW it hugs the grill nicely (Excuse the dirty headlights) lol Finished with some spray on bedliner to get rid of that plastic look Im happy with it Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk |

2.2s are in!! Beadlocks and one widener for each wheel 1.9 stretched on these 2.2s I really dig the look of the wheels... However i think i need a skinnier tire, and probably a few mm shorter. I will have to look around... Any suggestions? My new shop is coming together Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk |
