Pretty dang sweet. Makes me want to pick up ones of those bodies even more.

Do those trees already have leaves on them?:ror:

Looks great on the rocks. "thumbsup"

I see what you mean about the tire performance and needing to be broken in.

What? Those trees don't drop their leaves? That's un-natural. I can't get enough of this rig... more, more, more!

mostly done but still have the following to do:
-make front body mount (currently 2 zip ties, lol)
-attach interior to body. currently rear body mount is only to interior. body is not attached to interior at all and comes loose all the time as the truck flexes or takes a tumble.
-make and mount front bumper and non-op winch
-mount rear bumper
-make and mount rock sliders
-paint dash. currently still original color. needs to match dark tan of the rest of the interior, which is painted.
-rear upper shock mount is temporary until the alum one is cnc cut. may be a while.
-glue tires
-waterproof
-decals
-install taillight LED's. not sure if I'll cut out the body and make lenses or just drill for the LED.
-paint turn signals, taillight trim
-make scale goodies (tool box, hilift jack, etc)
-fasten Charlie into his seat.

so lots of mostly little things...
