Cool, I have the same kit I need to build, have to finish the Sawback and Wraith first though.

That's a awesome looking bronco!

It looks a lot more stock than mine does. I went with the full custom southern buggy look. Either way it still looks killer.

Since the 1.9 wheels I want are out of stock, I been messing around with different wheel and foam combo. I have plenty of 2.2 wheels so I thought I'd try them. I like the way they look but will probably swap. I got my light bar installed and put some proline shocks on. After several battery packs, I'm amazed what this rig can do. Here some updated pics.

Those wheels look good on there.

Little update.... When I first cut down the xr10 uni's I got in a hurry and the end result was a lot of rotational slop between the locker and flatspot on axle. I took my time and cut down some vp vvd's. Now have zero slop at the locker. Got my bumper and winch installed also. This winch is pretty stout. Very nice product!

Did you fabricate that bumper? Or is is a bolt on? If so, what bumper is it?

Great looking rig. Keep up the good work!

Thanks... It is a bolt on made by RC Rock Armor. I did trim 1 1/2 inches off the ends.
