|  ~The Scale Shop~ 2008 Scale Nationals Rubicon 2.2 Tuber Build
well this is my entry for the 2.2 class for montana. i simply did not have the time to the tube work this time so i contracted one of the best on the forum, Double J. i started as always in cad, and sent him full size 2d and 3d plans for everything, and a chassis, body, and all the tube/chassis mount tabs pre waterjeted for him. he did an excellent job. after seeing Mikeys rubi tuber over a year ago i always wanted one like it. and it didnt take long for this build to be dubbed "the dream jeep" between me and Jason. parts list: TLTs TSS Chassis TSS TJ Grill TSS Hi Lift Jack TSS Billet Warn xd9000i winch TSS Fairlead Double J Tube work RC4WD R2 RC4WD 2.2 stompers RPP beadlocks with narrow rings HPI rubi body Turned down TLT shocks Tubular rear axle armor/link mount by Jeff LEDs interior if time.... the plans   the Double J tube work!               with the TSS chassis   here you can sorta see some of the tabs i sent.    mock up body.

I'm with this guy. I'd lose the top and the doors. Or atleast the top and the windows. Just my .02 though.. Chassis looks great. | |

thats the mock up body fellas ;) the entire roof, windows, and rear section will all be hacked off ;) i left them intact so that the body would remain "square" for the tube process and a good fit. |

well allitle progress. tube work is powdercoated grey/silver. got the body hacked up, and the grill mocked in place. due to a slight over sight in the plans i drew (puting the front bar right behind the fuggin headlight holes  ) i wont be able to run the reflector buckets and LEDs i had ready to go  and will have to settle for a shitty sticker. :-(  |

Looks amazing I love the tubework that JJ did on it and the TSS grill really sets the body off |

Just cut the cross member out right where the light buckets will go and bend a tight "u" to re-brace the cutout section. Looks sick! I hate everyone that has their Rubicon body in posession, I'm still waiting on mine! :-P Ty

Sweet frame man! I look forward to seeing this thing in Montana! Funny about the bar behind the headlight area, Since Ive pretty much got my rig done I noticed that I kinda did the same thing. I didnt plan on my rig being scale but as I built it I started adding all the scale goodness and then I recently went to add head lights and ran into the same problem. So I just made a winch bumper like thing with 4 headlight bezzles inbedded in the bumper! Maybe this could work for you as well?? I added a pic so you could see the bumper.

Dang it doesn't look as silvery as it does in person.. :( Still looks really good. I think you can get a front lense and some small led to shine through. just cut a flat rear reflector out of aluminum and polish it.? |
