"Mr. Tough Guy"

Been working on a TTC Truck to run with my local club. SMRCRC... I wanted a Truck thats a little different and that would be fun to drive... Starting looking through some old Jp magazines. Came across the Hotdog.

The wheels started turning and this is what I have so far.

Wanting to build some sort of Cage for it. Played around with the Pro-Line Rollcage a little.

snio out the little lugs on the mud slingers!
the cage looksk pretty sweet on there, itd be nice if the cab was a tad taller and the cage a tad shorter

Lookin' good, Jarod! Now get it done so I can beat it (I mean run against it).

lol JP I have been looking at that body too. I was thinking of doing something very similar but the grill is not quite what I want. I want to do something closer to the military version of the grille with round headlights!!

Looking good J!!

Ya I have been searching the Net for a Good Picture of a Grill. If I can find a good one I can make the Grill look anyway I want. I'll just adjust the Colors in Photoshop and have a Decal Printed out.

Awesome love a big Jeep pickup

dezfan · 04-15-2010, 10:55 PM

Which one of the Lee brothers did you buy that from?

Gula · 04-22-2010, 10:41 PM

I got one of these bodies a while back. It's tiny, looks like a 1/12 scale or smaller. I've decided to put mine on a grashopper chassis with brat wheels instead of making a crawler-scale rig from it

bcrofts · 04-23-2010, 01:04 PM

That is bad ass. Ive always thought that truck was cool.

run2jeepn · 04-29-2010, 10:30 PM

Small Update... Painted the Outside OD Green. Sprayed the Windows black from the inside and the rest Rust colored on the inside...

Body is just sitting on there for a Mock up. It will be lowered just a little more. Going to have to limit the shocks travel....

run2jeepn · 04-29-2010, 10:38 PM

Just need to work on the Decals for the Grill and Tail Lights now...

hoyt · 04-30-2010, 12:18 AM

dam that thing is a beast. Badass looking nice job.

gyrene · 04-30-2010, 08:08 AM

Looks Killer.

70duncan · 04-30-2010, 08:58 AM

Now this is one tough looking truck

.

I like how this is comming together. Are you going to keep the proline cage?

Cave Dave · 04-30-2010, 10:31 AM

The front of this thing reminds me of the M-715 I used to have. It would look killer with the milatary bed on it. Great looking build !

cutlaSS · 04-30-2010, 10:50 AM

definately a TOUGH truck. the wheels look like 1.9, are they for mock up? why not run the shocks in a 50/50 droop/sprung so you get the ride height low but still get the flex. awesome job thought, i need a new body for my honcho they're getting too common.

The 2.2 Mudslingers are just put over the stock 1.9's right now.

I have some Black Steel Rc4wd Beadlocks that I'm using.
