Wow $60?? I bet they are smooth but I don't think I'll spend that much just on shock bodies.

Dude awesome color for the jeep! Smokey grey silver? Looks sweet

Thanks! I was going for a Tungsten Carbide, I think it came out awesome!

Had a nice package waiting for me this morning at work, I can now finish the JK chassis and hopefully wheel it soon! Some of the parts are for the Prez's new rig, build thread coming soon.

2003EDGE · 09-09-2013, 10:50 AM

Nice looking assembly of parts you have there!

Grizzly4x4 · 09-09-2013, 12:24 PM

Nice goodies! A delivery like that makes me smile every time.

JetBlast · 09-09-2013, 05:44 PM

That's a lot of $$$ for all that! It is gonna look great!

Ty@Tekin · 09-09-2013, 09:23 PM

Put some 7mm hexes on, gave a little more room between the knuckles and the tire.

Installed the VP CMS Bumper Mount, what a nice piece.

Still going to use the Jevne plate and mount a winch servo in there somewhere! Got a lot of space to work with.

VP Motor Plate and gear cover:

And the VP Rigid Industries light bar with A-pillar brackets.

Just need to shoot some black on them and route the wiring cleanly. I'm officially ready for electronics now, will start on that soon. Can't wait to wheel this Jeep!

Ty, I'm gonna need to send you a JK body for you to paint that one the exact same color you have there. I love that freaking color. Build is looking good

Ty@Tekin · 09-09-2013, 10:36 PM

Just mixed some silver and black, bam! My airbrush is broken too, was really fun to paint.

JetBlast · 09-10-2013, 08:57 AM

I love the light bar. I am considering buying one and sticking it on my honcho.

k_bojar · 09-10-2013, 09:29 AM

Ty - which Jevne plate did you get? I saw 2 different ones - one made for a CMS (like the hands brother one) and another..

just curious

build looks great man!

I got it from Greg at Axialfest last year, it's not the CMS version. The VP CMS mounts the servo horizontal up front so even the other plate wouldn't work for both. It's all good, I can mount up the winch servo still!

thanks, Ty. I was asking more so because i'm trying to see how one would mount on the chassis

but I have the hands brothers CMS, but I'm thinking I might remove it for the VP deal

do you think a bumper that mounts to the outside of the framerails would have issues with the VP mount? I have one of the rock armor ones and it attaches to the outside (via screws), not like the stock axial one

Nope, a bumper like that should work since the VP CMS mounts inside the rails and is flush with the top of the rails. The Hand Bros CMS will work with the Jevne CMS plate, I'm pretty sure that's what Greg designed it around!

Ty@Tekin · 09-17-2013, 09:02 AM

New shocks were waiting for me at work this morning!

Ty@Tekin · 09-17-2013, 10:28 PM

Did some work tonight, mostly on the steering and shocks, then started on the wiring. There's an RS GEN2 and Micro Spektrum hiding in the box. Still have lots to do before she's all functional, but I'm hoping to get it moving under it's own power tomorrow! I really want to hit the trails with it soon!

This little dude wandered into the lab tonight!

More coming soon!

Grizzly4x4 · 09-18-2013, 09:29 AM

Ha. Love the lizard and the rifle.

CMS looks really good under there.

Ty@Tekin · 09-18-2013, 09:44 AM

Yeah I really like this CMS setup!

Just ordered a GT Power LED setup, should be here end of the week!

Brandon · 09-18-2013, 09:44 AM

Looking good Ty!

What did you think of the shocks?
