I'm still waiting on mine to show up cause ckrc messed up the shipping sticker...soo I was just sitting here thinking.. how would the dingo body look without the cage on it?.. anyone have pics of it?

muddinscx · 09-28-2011, 02:09 PM

Well I guess no one has really tryed it. Looks like ill be one of the first. I think ill pull the cage off and me a removable top like a 72 blazer where the whole top comes off, not just the back.

I started out with a Dingo and thought it might look cool without the cage too.... I WAS WRONG!
it looked like crap!
Good luck withthe removable hardtop idea.

Lol yea I was trying to get pics to see before I did it but I guess ill have to wait.

It looks good when you take off the fenders and the roll cage but not just the roll cage. i had a forum with pics with it off.

Colorofkris · 09-29-2011, 09:22 AM

Without a cage or fenders it looks like a bronco/ defender classic. good luck with the hard top im working on that with a proline jeep wrangler body too.

muddinscx · 09-29-2011, 09:25 AM

That doesn't look bad at all. I have a wrangler body comming with my dingo but, I think I'm going to keep the dingo body on it and use the jeep body for something else.

Stormin2u · 09-29-2011, 09:27 AM

Actually that looks really bitchin

.

muddinscx · 09-29-2011, 09:38 AM

Do you have any pics with the fender flares still on but no cage?

Colorofkris · 09-29-2011, 10:06 AM

No, it looked really bad. Yeah I love way it looks with out it better, Thats actually what i have on my crawler right now, at least until i get time to work on the jeep more.

Let me know if you plan on not using the Dingo bumpers though!

Doesn't look too bad like that. Looks more like something an Aussie would drive rather then an accessorized American rig (no offense to either). I only think the bad would be that the windshield will not hold up for long like that. After a few rolls rubber side up it will get torn right off. Too bad is it does look good on this and many other rigs. Maybe a simple front hoop could be made along the inside of the windshield for strength but leave the rest open? If you plan on the look being permanent.

oh and the bunny in the background looks like he is scared of the SCX

looks like he has his arms up yelling keep it away from me Aaaahhhhhh!

Actually the wind shield was fine after i rolled it a few times. It bends near the bottom, and only gives when it rolls, as soon as it turns back up right the wind shield goes back to normal.

An about the bunny. lol
