Raney 120's Cherokee Build

[Raney120]

I've been wanting to build a Cherokee ever since Scale Offroad started making them but I could never get myself to spend that kind of cash on a body so now that Proline has their Body I don't have to Anyways I'm finally building one.

1:1's I see on a daily basis that have been giving me ideas until my head was ready to explode







And my pile of parts or at least some of them.

You should know you're the Gay expert.

I wanna see how the floor pan and stuff work out. I did an xj but skipped interior. So Ill see how your build goes.

I am working on my Cherokee build as well.
These are my two cherokees in the driveway, the pink one is getting a new paint job as I type

Yeah I'm hoping the floor pan works out I know that I'll have to do some trimming to get the body to sit as low as I want but we'll see how it goes.

Those look good. My dad has an 2000 that's his Daily Driver and as soon as he's ready to get something new I'm going to turn it into more of a trail rig.

I'll be watchin' this one. Love me some XJ's.
I tried the floor pan on a blazer back in the summer. I tried to get it as low as possible. Might give you an idea or two.

I was going to do an exo build like the black on pictured above with bogger but I am not a good metal fabber, so i went with styrene!
You can see my ghetto interior here. I wanted the floor pan on this but it wouldn't work out.

Thanks for the Links I'll check it out.

[Raney120]

It's a roller



The angle of the pics make the Front shocks look like they are angled to the front but they are actually straight up and down. Pretty much a standard SCX10 with Underdrive Gears in the Rear, MIP CVD's up front with STRC Knuckles and C's. Axial 4 Link Truss Front and Rear with Delrin Links that I made 2 mm over to stretch the wheel base just a little, and Proline Shocks. I think that's it.

[washracer_11]

looks good but you put too many screws in the wheels

[constantmotion]

Need some black screws. Nice ongoing build

[Raney120]

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I'll keep the Stainless I like the Bling and that they won't rust. Also on that note obviously I have some of the MTHead Beadlock Rings. I have never ran the Axial Beadlocks before but I saw these and it made me love them! But now I don't know which ones to run I got both the TR01's and Spyder Locks. Any Suggestions? I got my Crawler Innovations Foams today and want to get my Wheels together.

TR01's (I'm kinda leaning towards these)


Spyder Locks (Before I got them I was set on these)

[scx10mudder]

the top ones for sure i think they look 1000x better
