and I still hate you.... Mike told me you got these but forgot just until now. Kinda scary to run something that is numbered eh? My original intension was to NOT run mine...but its a cool handling and working vehicle and is to fun not to wheel a tiny bit...plus ya gotta get them out for some cool pics with that insane camera of yours Good luck with them dude -Mike |

Whats the matter Ryan, can't handle those 1mm screws They need to be beat on, it's only money Now all you need is a 1:1 XJ for the trails I think I'd better get my order in soon, I want to model my 1:1, rust, dents, faded paint and all. I think I'll skip that sweet looking roof rack though. I'm going to wheel the hell out of mine. I was going to order a roller, but Mnster offered to build me a scale chassis with rear leafs and front coils. Now all I need to do is get Mike to get that chassis for the Big Blue build done for me first. I hope to see it (out of the box) and on a trail for a Spring scale club photo shoot. |

| ...That's about all I got! Ok except those are awesome and Stefan does a fantastic job! I hope one day I can own one myself but I'll tell you right now when I do finally get one it ain't gonna sit on the shelf, no disrespect to you, but I'm gonna take it out and run the sh!t out of it!

| Ryan, I've got a buddy with a '06 Rubicon with 5k in accessories from Hooze 4x4. He recently lost some $ on a real estate deal, and is selling it below book. It's never even seen anything more then a gravel road.

Freetime send me some pictures. I was looking more for 1997-2003, but I will entertain the idea of fire sale anyday. Ryan | |

[quote=BigBaller;964657]None taken. If I had gone through the labor to assemble and build my own body kit I would have to run it. However Stefan built mine and to see ALL the hours of labor to make these things as pretty as they are. I will challenge ANYONE here to see if they will trash something handcrafted. JIA, you don't count, it wasn't your money. Oh no doubt! If I had Stafan build mine I'd be approaching it in the same manner, but I'll be buying the body and accessories for it and some of my other rigs as well since they're so nice! I'll probably get a roller, but I'm not getting the full blown package $$$$! I would enjoy geting all of it and putting it together myself b/c to me that is the best part. But really, those things are exquisite and perfect and I wouldn't do anything to ruin the value b/c you know one day they'll be worth 2 or 3 x's as much! |

I look forward to seeing one up close. I've seen JIA's videos and it looks like they really run nicely. Bigballer doesn't do anything in a small way.

| X2 BIgBaller, those look great but I'd have to run one....I think... Well guess I'd get a plain jane body without the rack and all to run...those are too nice to even scratch! BTW, nice photo job too...where's our tech on the chassis and close up pics??? Last edited by Natedog; 12-15-2007 at 07:07 PM. |

Well, no going back now. The red one and chassis have now been run. This is the COOLEST rig to drive. Butter smooth with a Novak Rooster Crawler, JR 9000t servo, and The DX3R in control. Wow, I will have some Kansas City Outdoor pics up soon. For now. |
