Inspiration came from google search and after seeing all the Axial Jeep JK pop up.











First I recycled the setup from my 2nd mog build and bought Axial jeep Jk body set,bumpers. When I bought the mog from Dezfan, I also bought his 3racing portals.



Following in Peli's steps... I started working with the rear axle tonight. Need to mark the holes, drill, tap them.

[eric113]

Waiting on some parts to get here for the wraith. I worked on the Jk.

I tired to bolt up the portals and failed I broke the tap off in the portal. The portal man himself Chino help me big time! He got the piece of tap out and the rear portals done for me.



I got the body rough cut. Did mock up with portals and tires I will be using for now.

Thanks! your JK is looking good too!.
This winch is hoss. I think, after talking to few people.. I'm going to get Tekin B1R esc for the winch controller.

[eric113]

I traded my first jk and started to miss it, made another trade.

Here go again and this one is to stay! It stock jk kit, brand new.

So far I added the portals and traxxas steel push rods for the rear upper links. Im not going super crazy with mods. Mostly stock with few upgrades.

Future plans:
Locked up lockers
R2j sliders
Corner guards

Thanks Honcho!

I still don't know what tires and wheel combo to go with...

Tires wise...super swampers in my earlier post or treps ?

Wheel wise.... TSS trail ready, axial wheels, rc4wd hummer wheels ?

[Honchoforever1]

decisions decisions lol!

I think the hummer wheels would be cool with the portals. But that's a tough decision between the treps and swampers.

[eric113]

It can be bad for your health to have too many decisions. But I think I'm going to with Hummers and swampers.

Thanks Cory! When I saw pics of the color, I loved it.

Since Handbros isn't making CMS kits anymore... I have one their servo mounts with mount cut off, I need to make a axle mount and block how to make it.

[SAL45]

Looks good Eric! I like the gunmetal color better!

[Nova's Ark]
