No they dont, but they used to have kinda cool Broncos back in the day and are you implying that I am doing some sort of law enforcement theme

ahhh fawk maybe I did...well either way the cats out of the bag Yea I am doing a suffolk sheriffs dept theme. I even found some guy who made replica decals, which is actually my step fathers design because he is the one who used to paint the cars, decal them, wire up lights, weld cages etc but now he is in a different unit. I think itll be cool because it will be different

I can get you picks of Suffolk VA's sheriff's cars, we paint them all the time at our body shop. I find it funny how many times I hear about Suffolk NY, I actually drove there from VA to pickup a truck I bought.

Dudes its really not a problem, I dont think its your fault in anyway, its almost like the lexan became dehydrated (dryed out) because after I broke the 1st one I flex it a little bit and it did this wierd thing where it looks like it spider cracked but soon as you let go of it, its fine... I have had this happen on really old lexan truck bodies. Probably just some bad lexan, nothing you could have know. I have some sheets here I just cant find them Might just get another sheet or 2 from the lhs .

Well I made some progress this weekend on both the sand rail and the pathfinder. I also finally, after Novak HAVING IT for 3 1/2 weeks, got my BL ss 5800 back. I cut out some new body panels but ran out of paint so I need to get some more to finsh the roof and few other spots. I think its looking good, especially with the RCKJeep 3rd gen rock rings on it . I got the steering linkage mounted and was able to fit the progressive shocks up front, just buy running them upside down. I also spotted the dash board from the Marui big bear that I cut the seats out of to use in the back of the Trekker. Well it was damn near a perfect fit, so after some trimming and a little bit of plastic styrene, its ready to go. Now I just need to find some of those seats that were used as cell phone holders...cant find them in any of the local stores though fawkin figures, a few months ago the things were all over the shelves So once I find them itll have a full interior . I also need to find something to keep the ESC in so it doesnt get full of sand but still allow cooling...any ideas??? Well here is some pics so far







I also discovered that the MSD roof racks are a PERFECT size to bad this one is for the pathfinder, im sure this one will get one in the future.

I got the pathfiner rolling but the wheelbase is a little bit off, I need to make a few adjustment but its getting there









thanks for looking

Mike

Both of those are looking really good, nice work!

Can you mount the ESC on the shock tower?
