|  the cloning of old reliable
well, i have made several of these modified bruiser chassis crawlers so far and here is #5. this one is for unimoger and will almost be a clone to my red fj40 sans a few details (upgrades) and color. i have been working on this for a while due to my back injury and i appologize to ben for the wait. today, i finally finished up the chassis and thought i would share the progress with you all. the battery will stand on its side due to the addition of inner fenderwells in the cruiser body. i will also be making a stinger and a rack to finish it off. here are the chassis pics.    |

well, since i couldn't sleep i thought i would try to finish this thing up. i forgot to get some lexan from r/c unlimited today for the fenderwells so i couldn't make them this morning. also, my dremel decided it needed sleep and quit on me so some of the welds couldn't be dressed (sorry ben). aside from those two minor setbacks, the clone is ready to ship. here are the final mockup pics. unimoger will finish up the rest.      ben, i will try to get this in the mail tomorrow (later today, i forgot it's already morning) if possible. i'll call you later. |

Looks awesome, I love the rear rack and front bumper. Only thing it needs is that light bar you made on the roof like on yours  Come to think of it I could use one or two myself too  Mike |
