Here is what I started with, a 10wb tamiya bronco SCX10

Ok, I wasn't down with the short wb. It looked cool but just couldn't see it as a performer. So... I picked this body up at radio shack last week. Last night I decided to take the dremmel to it and after putting the scx wb back to stock this is what I ended up with. Still needs a bunch of styrene work even more tube work and maybe new wheels. What do you think so far?

Your Jeep is looking great I can't wait to see it finished

STANG KILLA SS · 01-04-2011, 07:09 PM

dezfan · 01-04-2011, 07:10 PM

I liked the Bronco, but I like the Jeep even better.

country_crawler · 01-04-2011, 07:10 PM

Looks really good. Exactly what i've been wanting to do with mine.

Thanks Dez I liked the bronco too but to be honest, I never even drove it once, I guess I just knew I wouldn't like the short WB. I am pretty happy with the change so far.

Damn that looks good! What's frustrating is that's what I was originally wanting to do and the body I was looking for at Radio Shack. Since they didn't have the TJ I ended up picking up a JK body instead and cutting that up. I may end up having to go look for an additional body...

Mongopotamus · 01-04-2011, 07:43 PM

This makes me want to finish mine now.

JonehRC · 01-04-2011, 07:50 PM

this is cool

wish we have this body available for us locally ..

anyway, keep up the updates.. i wanna see more

70duncan · 01-04-2011, 07:56 PM

I am liking it

I like your Trac-bar mount. That is what I use for my scalers also.

bayareaaxial · 01-04-2011, 08:02 PM

ThunderbirdJunkie · 01-04-2011, 08:06 PM

The TJ reminds me of a guy's TJ from JF...it's gnarly, looks good man!

Yeah the tj a quit a bit smaller than the jk. However I did cut a 4 door down to a two and it turned out pretty cool

That's because is was a "plastic-y fat roll cage-y"

Yeah the 3/16 suits it a little better

th67ss · 01-05-2011, 08:12 AM

That thing looks mean

Your tube work is great and I was hoping you were going to get rid of the factory roll cage.

RCBreeze · 01-05-2011, 11:17 AM
