Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

Hey now, that blue blew my retinas.
Really pops out on the screen.
What color is that, who makes it?

Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

Haha it's definitely bright!!! I'm pretty sure it's rustelouem paint and the color is "sail blue". I'm gonna do a little sanding and then another coat and should look great with the satin black fenders, bumpers and top!

Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

The blue looks sharp...a little bright, but still close and definitely different and refreshing. "thumbsup"

Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

"thumbsup""thumbsup"

Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

Needs finishing touches like painting door handles and putting the lights and mirrors back on. I'm very happy with the turnout!!

Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

Paint looks great in the wild! Axle looks like it had a really bad day! What the blank happened? You've got to have some skill to snap an axle and not jack up the body:lmao:

Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

Hahaha, I don't know if these portals are putting a lot of stress on the plastic inner C's or if the top screw came loose. I was climbing a nice incline and that tire was kinda stuffed into the side of the rock, and it looked like it unlocked and stopped spinning, but it had just pulled away far enough for the dogbone to pull out. 3 minutes after being home it was fixed but I think it's time to invest in some aluminum C's.

As for the body, it did take a roll and did just fine! But this body doesn't seem as strong as the TJ body, so I saved the real beating for when I ran it after driving the jk.

Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

i was instructed that the hoop was too tall so thats being reworked, and also told it has to have the winch mount and so i ordered a rc4wd bulldog winch!waiting on that to come in so i can cut the bumper up to recess the winch!

Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

Bumper looks great all painted up!"thumbsup"

Re: "Blue Crush" JK build

reworked the front shock mount as the front was a little too high.
