FATBOY's-"SPARE PARTS"........a Trail Rig for my Wife

[FATBOYrs10]

ok, well i've been acquiring some parts lately and finally got enuff stuff to build an axial "kit" Jk. building this for my wife to have a rig to trail on the few occassions that she goes with me.

like stated before, i have acquired most everything i needed. then, i traded some more for a basically new honcho kit w/electrics.

her's a few pics of it the day it arrived.



also had a hand brothers CMS already installed as well



along with a new 35t integy motor and a wpBRXL

[FATBOYrs10]

now while this chassis was in near perfect condition, i decided swap out the axles with a set that i already had. and this rig may end up a lil on the "beefy" side, especially for a rig that will prolly see more trail riding than rock crawling, i wanted to build a rig that for the most part, would provide hours of worry free (hopefully no broken parts) trailing.

so i installed the axles and links from my last personal buggy project. these axles have been shaved for a more scale look, both axles have beeftubes installed, and the front has aluminum C's & Knuck's along with axial uni's w/gunnar pins. maybe she want break 'em.



i also decided to run my 1.9 slammers with my custom cut-n-shut Rok Lox.

thnks Jose, let's hope so, lol.

well, i decided to put the trans/motor that was in this chassis back in it, along with the WB8 shafts.



i also dug up some RC4WD 90mm scale shocks that i'd forgot i had, applied some stickers to them and mounted them up.



then i installed the Jk bumpers, as well as bolting up a 3Racing winch i had.




i also found a set of G-Made hub nuts that i'd bought awhile back to use on another rig. these are a cheap way to get the look of running "SOLID" style drive flanges.

ok, gonna cut to the chase. the body is painted, stickered, and assembled





and mounted

[FATBOYrs10]

now, for a lil something that I don't believe anyone has attempted with this particular body. FOUR, yes 4, different TOP OPTION's!!!!

of course, the first 3 have been done already.

1st.......completely topless, no windshield



2nd......topless with windshield



3rd........full top



and 4th...........half top, just like the 1:1's

Great...people are even building up their wife's rigs more than mine... I love this forum, but this thread makes my lil orange Jeep feel inadequate.
