Performed very well in the 10 minutes I ran it. Needs a bit more speed but other than that it worked great! Everything else I want to do to it is just for a more scale appearance. Center clearance is great on it too.

I picked up that body about 2 weeks ago. Only found it in 1 walmart. They had one more and if I go back and its there im going to keep it as a spare.

I got 6 Wranglers in and am just waiting for another set of the boggers to arrive and 3 more wranglers. I also added clevises to the front and will do the rear tonight and take a few pics. Looks very cool but not strong enough to actually use. I also mounted the spare where the rear tire carrier was. It makes it look alot cooler now


I drove it over some of my 2.2 beadlocks and flywheels last night to see it articulate and its very very scale. Sometimes the rear back driver side tire rubs on the inside of the wheel well. Im going to a GTG on Saturday so i will post up pics and a vid of it.


I should actually be picking up 2 tlt's, highlift roller, pede tranny and some cash locally this weekend in a trade for my Baja 5B

So the highlift will be my basher

Well, well, well guys! Ive decided I dont run it as much as my FJ's so I decided to post it up for sale. One thing to note!

THIS exact truck will be featured in a 4 page feature article in RCCA magazine. I just finished writing it and sending in the pictures last week. Here is your chance to say you own a truck that has been featured in a magazine

Im not sure what issue it will be in, but will post up as soon as I know;)
