| Jeep JK Build
Hey all! So this is my first build post.. Jeep JK Scaler. I purchased this rig as a roller. Pretty nice base to start with. Currie axles, SCX10 chassis and a partially modified New Bright Body. First step was to build some trail doors, rock sliders and bumpers. I modeled the rear bumper after a Poison Spyder tire carrier. I modeled the trail doors after the Body Armor doors and the rock slider were built to look like EVOs. These are all built from steel rod and 20GA sheet metal. The trail door netting is elastic strips from the fabric store and wrap is a ribbon like material that looks like black webbing also from the fabric store. [/URL From there I built the drive train with a Super Shafty bomb proof tranny, HH crawl master, Vanquish Hurtz dig, MIP drive shafts, HH BRXL, RC4WD winch and controller, Maxamps 3s Lipo. Got the cage painted and installed some Vanquish 2.2 OMF Beadlocks with RC4WD Mud Slingers. I also installed a lift for tire clearance. Proline Scale shocks. CMS kit. One off aluminum mount plate for winch controller and battery. I then started working the body. Sanding, sanding and more sanding. A little bondo here and there. Clearanced the fenders, added a rock bar to the existing RC4WD bumper, installed head and tail lights, Vanquish Rigid LED bar, RC Modelex Roof carrier, a bunch of scale parts, cut a lexan windshield, handmade some recovery ramps out of 18GA sheet metal. I then moved to the interior. My figure is a Street League skater. Dash is new bright. Seats are Corbreau, dyed black. I used lexan and molded it to fit the rear and come up through the center console. Then used Hot Racing aluminum diamond plate on top of the lexan. Finished it off with the Proline NOS and fuel cell kit and a center control console. I will be putting a shifter in eventually. I also added an RCModelex snorkel but don’t have a pic yet. Thanks for looking.. Joe |

Ha! nice catch.. My 63 f100 Unibody. Got her built pretty rowdy. Just finished Crown Vic IFS conversion. Really improved the truck. Love the "slicks". 61-66 are my faves...

That is a very impressive build. Doors, bumpers, slideers and details very well done.

Find some areas that look scale for driving that thing and take pictures. Looks damn near real.
