Sweet i like it! what were you using to fill the gaps you cut out?

Nickle · 10-09-2010, 09:36 AM

Good looking rig. Maybe it's the perspectives, but I like the Rock Lizards more than the Rock Lox for this build. The Rock Lox look too tall, IMO.

I first glued in styrene and then filled it with bondo spot putty filler and sanded it down it is pretty easy stuff to work with

I actually agree with you but the rock lizards just don't perform like the Rok Loxs unfortunatly. I am going to stretch the wheelbase out a little more hopefully it will look proportional

joeyf · 10-09-2010, 11:34 AM

Jester666 · 10-09-2010, 11:52 AM

Looking good so far, it's ALMOST like looking in a mirror. Even the build title is similar

country_crawler · 10-09-2010, 01:16 PM

Looks good. Whats the specs on the body?

Team Tactical Bacon · 10-09-2010, 02:21 PM

Like the flat black basher look. Nice.

x2 on the rok loks being a little tall. Kinda reminds me of the tj from the TTC a few years back.

How tall are the new swampers? Maybe those?

mar618 · 10-09-2010, 03:54 PM

Yes I need to give credit where credit Is due. I built my jeep the first time I was not happy with it's performance and came across urs and was inspired to build a similar rig hope u don't mind. I have some more work to do and try to differ it.

Ya I'm thinking about the swampers. I have the Rok Lox because a aquired them in a trade is all.

Did some work on the interior today.

Painted the dash and added a T.V.

Used so winshied wipers out of a Hilux kit

Painted the hubs

That thing is awesome looking. Those are 2.2's on it arent they? Personally I think the 1.9's would fit it better. What exact body is that and what is the wheelbase? thanks.
