Took the truck out for a test drive. The new body works well and doesn't feel too top heavy.    Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |

Added some lights to the stock bumper up front, added the light kit and mounted the brake lights in the rear until I can find a rear bumper I like. Still need a five sting for the light bar up top. Also tinted the windows, or it said it was tint, but turned out a lot darker than expected.     Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |

A lot of people think those bodies are top heavy...there's no weight up there! Just don't fill the top up with a rack and scale accessories...Ive never had a problem with mine....looking good!

Finished painting the rims to match the body, and added lights to the front bumper. Now just need to make a spare tire carrier and we'll be all set    Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |

What is the color/manufacturer of the paint you used? I like it.Not sure about the wheels though.

It's fastcolor I believe. It's really a hot pink cor, I just backed it with black to give it a darker tint. The color was my girlfriends choice Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |

Started painting the unlimited body for my sxc. Shot the rear and fenders black, will finish the body in silver    Also finished the 4 link set up I made for it. Originally had a 3 link with panhard up front, but I couldn't get it to flex correctly, so I ditched it for a full 4 link   Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |

Finished the paint, added a light kit ad my winch came in. The only problems, something was obviously on the plastic when I shot the paint, and I was using a spray can because I couldn't find r he color I wanted for my airbrush. The other issue, the controller for the winch stopped working the second day time I tried it. Wasn't even pulling the truck just trying to test out the winch     Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |

So the truck a bit of a beating at the trail run I went to out at White Rock last month, but it did prove how tough the truck is. I did see so.e weak points that I wanted to address, so I moved the battery to the center  Added a set of Jun Fac side bars and a light bar up top for night runs   Also added a spare tire for the rear just for the looks, and a little weight to balance out the truck.  So far it's been a great build and an even tougher truck on the trails Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |
