Default BIG BALLERS Scale Jeep Tuber. MORE PICS THAN YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE

OK. I was asked not to post anything here on the build.

But was given the go ahead. I have to say some of my best work to date.

Base: TLT
Body: Rubicon
Chassis: Custom Jeep Tuber
Tranny: Pede
Others: JP's aluminum knuckles, custom bumpers (front and back/swing out spare) Nurfs, Chassis mounted servo. roof rack. Coated stearing links.
Big Baller will add the rims/tires and finish cutting and mounting the body.


On to the Start to finish pics.

This is a step by step.

THE START;







































NOT THIS setup.


COUPLE MODIFICATIONS AND OPTIONIS


Setting up the front.

I will hopefully have it for all you local MN boys to drool over this weekend! I will post update pics as soon as I have it complete. I think I will do something special for the wheels. Thanks Double J.

It's on it's way baller. didn't get a chance to take any going away pics for you. I was in a rush trying to get to the PO before it closed for the evening. They were locking the door as I walked in.


Thanks for all the complements.
I really didn't want to let this one go. I started over from scratch 3 different times, then got in a grove when doing the bumpers.

The color is red vein. Basically a Red candy over a silver vien.

WoW!!! That paint is amazing, is that a special paint? If it is a special paint, where do you buy it. I hope it come in colors other then red, I would like to have a green. Again the whole thing is awesome!!!

Dang Ryan, you've been going all out lately. Can't wait to see that jeep. It looks pretty sweet. I like the red color on the tubes.
