Reality Check jeep bouncer

Been a while since I posted a build thread so here we go. I figured with all the buggies out there I'd go at it with a more budget built trail ready bouncer without all the bling. Something simple but very effective so its not going to be something I'm afraid to roll and beat up. The cage is made to use wraith running gear and has a full metal tranny MIP's uni shafts up front ar60's boom racing shocks I had laying around that matched the color of the rig, for now a terra claw 55t to swapped to a torquemaster soon most likely an ae-2 esc and a low torque servo. For wheels and tires I'm going to start with axial rocksters with XOR pitbulls since they'll pretty much climb a brick wall. Might do an interior with custom seats since the electronics will be under the hood ill have to make as well as all steel body panels. Here's a few pics if what I'm starting with.

How's this place coming along Man Cave, any updates?

Its getting there. Had a major setback today. My buddy nailed a tree with my atv and busted the radiator and did about $1,000 in damage to it

With the addition of the new pics I changed out the Terra Claw for an integy 45t and a rooster crawler esc and took it out. Its not the most flexible rig but it'll climb like a billy goat. Still have a lot of tweaking to do and some electronics smashing to do to hide it under the sheet metal panels I plan on making for it. Maybe a cowl hood to help clear the esc/rx/battery and wrap around rear like stock wraith panels. Thought about an invader style roof panel too and doing a brushed aluminum kind of look. I dont plan on painting the panels other than hitting them with some clearcoat to keep them from rusting.
