| 1.9er YJ Jeep
I recently purchased Kingcobras XC based YJ. This rig is sick. I beat it pretty hard in the short time I've owned it and managed to break the exo in several spots. After mending the reckless carnage I decided to make another exo/bumper/tire carrier. I'm using 1/8" solid and safty silver 56. This is what I managed to get done so far. Let me know what you think and ideas. First 4 are before and last 4 are after... |

love it, maybe move the rear axle back a bit to take advantage of that nice competition cut?

The stinger is half as long and the rest of the tube work follows the body very close too. I'm waiting on RC4WD to release the solid front and read xc axles and diaz to build me chassis rails to fit the wb. I love this body so much that I want to give it the scale look it deserves.

This was a halfway inspiration. GulaVW69 is sending me one of his winch fairleads too.

That sounds like the perfect setup for that body. I always liked the exo he had on it, but always thought the stinger could have been shorter. Spot on now, the 1.9 RC4WD rims would look killer too. Josh P.S. your avi is ghey! haha |

Hell yes on the roof rack! Must have missed the RC4WD comment. Are you getting 5? Can't wait to see it. Josh |

That thing is sick! Definitely go with a rack and the spare, off the back or on the roof, both would be sweet. |

I'm sure you did, but are those wheels in the first picture modified? If so how did you do that so clean looking?

Which one's? The HPI stockcar are modified. Kingcobra did them and they look great. Not sure what he did.

Not yet, maybe tomorrow. Thanks again. I never expected you to take the one off your truck! What a guy. |
