RR-10 Bomber replacement body

[iFrog]

Any other body that you guys are been using on the Bomber other than the stock body panels? Ideas? Pictures?

Thanks!

Pro-Line Yeti Baja Bug. I ended up cracking the supports between the hood and the roof at Crawlapolooza. It's chopped up now and I'm trying to figure out how I want to use the scraps. I may get another, I like the bug bodies.



Current state with Barndog hood and homemade interior sides wrapped in digital camo tape.

I just found a Proline H2 body in the sale bin for $7. My paint skills are no where near those, but I can cut and trim with the best. I don't like any Hummer besides the H1 either, but like a challenge.

[HemiStorm]

I would like to see more of these, so please do go ahead and make another. If I didn't want to share ideas, I wouldn't post them online. I learned a ton on forums and I still do. The HiLux body by proline is also a fit, but requires serious chopping. If you have 1.9's on a bomber it works pretty flawless, the 2.2 do require a lot of mutilating. But, fun.

That f100 body is a real nice match for sure. Lends itself to a cab-buggy (pre rock bouncer south eastern wheeler) like no other I can remember has. Makes me want to get a chassis and go from there.

Where did you mount the battery?

In the standard spot, fits perfect.

It's the A pillars that make it difficult. I trimmed the flat off this H2 body and it doesn't look promising.



If I trim it so the H2 grille just breaks over on the hood hinge the rear door seam will line up just past the trailing edge of the Bomber's 'door'. The H2 is shorter and the bed won't make it around the back side of the Bomber unless the grille is brought back. But the A pillars will need to be trimmed into the H2 hood.

[Brake Weight]

The H2 was no bueno. I was overeager to make it fit and wanting it to fit that I didn't measure one crucial thing. The width of the hood. The hood is too narrow where it meets at the A pillars.


The doors are too short, but long enough. If the windows were trimmed off it'd work and the rear quarter panel could be pulled off, too.


The roof was too narrow to make a panel out of it. So the $7 lesson is to measure the right things. I eyeballed it in the shop and even sat it on top of the Bomber while still in the bag. Had the pieces fit it would have looked like a Wraith-Hummer anyway.

I love the stock panels on the truck... However, Im a truck guy... I surprised my Nephew with a body on the bomber... It takes a whooping so I went simple on the paint, That has proven impossible to capture the actual color

Very nice match to the cage! And killer single-color paint job... but what body is it, please?
