|  Wrangler Unlimited Rescue Vehicle
Well it was finally time for me to build a scaler. Got my tax money and blew it all on the gear I needed to start.  Story behind my concept is im a jeep freak and am a Fire Fighter. So why not build a Fire Rescue Jeep. Searched high and low for a new bright wrangler. Ended up with a newbright and a nikko wrangler hardbody. Decided to use the Newbright due to better shape. I recon anyway. And then the gear started to turn up.... Enjoy the build...  The mother load from RPP  The 2 shells  The scale Emergency lights for the roof. Not using the leds. Just the red white and blue cover. Ordered a Demension Engineering led starter kit that will run and power the lights. Fully programmable. Sorry no pic of that.  Shell before tha cleaning and cutting begins.  Shell cut to extend wheelbase to scx10 length.  Filling in the gap. Styrene.. Great stuff  Motor to go in.  Gap filled in. Started work on my rock sliders. Wanted them to mount to the body just like the Arb ones on my 1:1.  Close up of sliders. No brazing or soldering needed.  And now this is where I am currently up to. Bumpers mounted. Proline on rear with Tire carrier. Custom alloy bumper up front with 3 racing winch. Checkerplate armor on rear side panels. Rear floor in with tool box to be built.   Still to come: Dark red paint job, black flares and bumper. Proline scale shocks. Flashing lights on roof, red and white reflector stripes down sides. Hose reel on rear deck. More scale gear Let me know what you guys think so far...  |

I think it looks great. From the looks of the tires I think you couldn't wait to test it. There is dirt on them now.

Got some more done today. Tool box and rear floor, and undercoated the shell. Toomorrow the red paint goes on.  Couple of nude shots.    Flex shot. Will have slightly more flex once I get the proline shocks in. Just waiting for the mail man.  |

Gotta say, for someone who doesn't really care for all the scale Jeeps out there, I like the concept and am looking forward to seeing some progress on this. I think I would have gone with yellow, but that's just me. It seems to say more Fire & Rescue as just opposed to Fire. |

I love the streched jeep I did the same stretch with my jeep scalier, I'm curious to how your mounting the body and where your spur is coming through the interior. post up some more pictures!....oh I wish I would of thought about the diamond plate cover on my body work! Nice job! |
