| My take on a new brite jk http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/pictu...ictureid=18989 well time to start a build for myself. well started collecting stuff for this build for some time. out of work so did most of getting this stuff by trading my labor for most of these parts. so with being out of work will try to build just about everything for this. if I don't have it, I will fab something that will work. like a tranny for the LCC axles I dont have a tranny so will build it out of gears and bearings that I have laying around. same way with the t-case. I do have the new brite body, but like most of all you know what they look like, so not going to wast my time posting a pic of it in stock form. so onto the parts list. (will let the pic's do most of the talking in this build) "O" & I do have alot more crap than this but kinda get the idea of were I'm going with this Last edited by spyderwebbcustoms; 03-10-2011 at 10:39 PM. |

used a xr-10 skid plate for the t-case. worked out great for this bolt pattern was spot on for this. went over to my buddys house to use his drill press (somthing I don't have) to drill out for the bearings. so worked great for the delrin plats that I used. |
