new approach to the xj Well here is the new aproach to the xj. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/...bd9bb8fe42.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/...7eccdcdd44.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/...94d9c23053.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/...45d4b0d502.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/...583d89e6e4.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/...e81dacb3f7.jpg |
nice XJ, but whats new about its "approach". Also what's with the double bumpers? |
Just wondering whats up with all the deans and wiring. Looks kinda messy might wanna clean it up? Gotta love that body though |
well its not really suppose to be a "double bumper". I cut the jeep bumper around the axial bumper to make it 1. I still have some tweeking to do to get the look just right. The new approach was cause I had another thread and I was just gonna do a simple build but I decided to take it another way. The reason it looks alittle messy is cause you don't see the wires and I'm not a neat freak on that. They did get all aranged nicer after the pics. I use all deans cause I like em and there is a spare plug when I run my batteries in parallel. But hey, I guess some people like each and every wire neat and perfect. Each to their own I guess "thumbsup" |

looks real nice! im diggin the stock rear bumper. it looks good with the cherokee. im buildin a cherokee too. theyre fun! check my build thread |
I lowered my body posts alittle more last night. When I did that I cut the jeeps bumper more which made the dingo front bumper sit alittle more flush. |
whats the new approach? Its looks like a stock scx10 with a jeep body. |

Put some dingo fender flares on it and I have to say, it looks purty good "thumbsup". No rubbing which was a big problem before cause the body was limiting the travel of the wheel. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/...d3fd612205.jpg |
Down the front pic? |
Oh I meant no disrespect at all "thumbsup". Im not a nut about wiring either but if its up and out the way then that's less chance of a wire getting snagged by rocks, sticks or chewed by the spur gear. As well as the annoying noise from deans bouncing around. I didnt realize either what all war in the tight space there. So I do apoligize if I offended ya I didnt mean it. Heres what my rig looks like Im to crazy about keeping wires short and all just out the way. I really Like the body with the dingo flares on it I may just do that to mine since Im running 2.2's that stick out, nice build "thumbsup" http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y83...T/IMG_0507.jpg |

Front and back views. They are alittle wider then the tire but the tsl's are narrow. They would look good with the 1.9 pitbulls or 2.2 tires. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/...31fb66fe86.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/...78bf2b5c3b.jpg |
...I was thinking of trying out the IROK 1.55 and getting some 1.55 wheels. Has anyone ran these? |
Personally I like a wider wheel with the flasres, looks more real. I think 2.2's would look really good with that body and flare setup. I mean on 1:1 rigs the wider flares are for wider tires. I thought I still had my xj body with them flares and my 2.2 mudslingers to show ya but apparently I traded or gave it away. |

I was thinking the pitbulls are purty wide and only 4.45" tall. What's the widest 1.9 tire? |
