K2-3L Yeti F-650

Ok soo I have been crusing around this forum for a while now without really posting anything that interesting... That being said I am going to start a build thread on my latest truck. Its a K2-3L with An F-650 body on it. I was inspired by an article in DIESEL POWER magazine which had an F-650 decked out for serious off roading. It looked awesome so I decided to get the body and make my own "YETI" as they called it.

I have been building the truck for a while now and It has gone through a stage or two without being completed or driven yet. It started it out as a silver rubicon with 2.2's, but... well, pactra window tint applied too heavily will change silver paint to off-green. I then decided to scrap the 2.2's as well and go for the more scale look of the 1.9 style. So although the truck has been mostly built for a couple of weeks now, I will start a thread anyways to post some pics of the progress and the finishing touches. I will post pics tomorrow most likely, I am going to try to finish most of the painting tonight.

heres a shot of the body in progress

You can post more than one pic in each reply. Also lose the bumper on the axle. Looks good so far

Looks great!

What shocks are those?

I can't wait to see the finished body.

"thumbsup"

lose bumpers- will do. lol. there integy mini t shocks. there about the same lenght as the build doc calls for and they feel pretty good

anybody know of a good chrome looking paint that will stick to the body? need something for the grill/bumpers

Spaz Stix paint , but you have to back it with a waterbased paint to keep the chrome look .....
