|  Szczerba's Cherokee (Minus some doors)
Well, just about every cherokee'd rig I have seen on the board has all it's doors. Not mine. Loosely based on Rusty's Orange XJ. I have been working about an hour a night on this for the past week. First try at a styrene interior, just working my way through it. Using a mix of .060 and .030. Just putting in two front seats for now. I can't squeeze in two rears due to the wheel wells, and i don't wanna make new ones. Made a frame mount for the servo too. Still need to box in the axial transmission, box up the rear wheel wells, finish up the dash, and make a front bumper. All the electronics will be boxed up and hidden from the water. The SCX-10 sliders will get cut down. Also, I will be fabbing up an interior cage with 5/32" styrene solid rod. Rok Lox for now, swampers in the future. Got the wheelbase set too. Also, the front is 1/2" wider on each side. Keeping it that way for now. Painted the wheels primer grey and oranged out the rings. Sorry for the blurry pics, in a hurry. And everything is still in mock-up mode. And you scale guys better not bust my balls on my ghetto styrene work !  Last edited by Szczerba; 07-14-2010 at 09:28 PM. |

I didn't think it would look good as a door-less lexan body, but I likes it! |

That is a cool idea! Looks like it's coming along nicely too. Just make sure you brace at least the B pillars with your styrene sheet/rod for better support during rollovers! |

Loving the look, something different with the Cherokee. It reminds me of a friends Cherokee he goes 4 wheeling with. |
