Ultimate HONCHO... Now gone JK
 

So here is my take on a honcho. Went with the Ultimate adventure JK paint scheme. Just a roller right now. Will be done soon. Trying to find someone who can make the orange ultimate adventure decals ?

Looks, good. Looks kinda like a shelf queen though.

are you going to hook the lights up you have mounted on the hood?

Really? :roll:

Apparently.:flipoff:


Check with bowtie about doing the stickers.

Yes all lights will be hooked up. I just need to finish a few things up first.

I got the stone guards painted and on

I still need to get the taco grill from him

Looks good! What's your plans for electronics? Where'd you get the B/L rings?

I like it. Doesn't look like a shelf queen to me.:mrgreen: I really like the beadlock rings and the whole look of the truck. The Tacoma grill stickers will really make the truck look even better. Any plans for a winch?

Orange and OD make good compliments for some reason. Nice rims ya got there. "thumbsup"

Beadlock rings are from Todd at bartos chassis. They are just on the axial 1.9 8 hole wheels.

As for the electronics I have my stock slash motor and ESC that will be used in this. I picked up a 9 tooth pinion for it so hopefully it will be ok. This will see a lot of snow wheeling as well as some muddy trails. So I am hoping the wheel speed will help clean the tires out. I also have a Hitech 645 steering servo for it. Still a few things to button up :mrgreen:


Also I forgot to mention that the truck is painted on the outside. It was done white primer and then the O.D Green. It was then painted on the inside with a gray primer. So when it scratches it will look like it is down to the primer

As for a winch yes it will be getting a 3racing warn

Truck is looking good.

I like how you did the paint. That will be cool with some rock rash on it. Well...... when it gets off the shelf :mrgreen:.

looks sick bud i think im gonna do my jk body up like that "thumbsup"

Thanks. The jk would look killer. I have always liked that since it was in the ultimate adventure

You have a link to a website or who to contact for those rings? Sounds like you're gonna be throwing some nice mud roosts with all that wheelspeed......when you get it off the self! LOL

Here is Todd's email tbartos@peoplepc.com and here is his website http://bartoschassis.weebly.com/ He is a super cool guy to deal with. Super fast shipping

Not much to update. I am starting on the wheel wells will post pics when done.
