I have a vid up later today. It really needs stiffer springs, and for me to fab some bumpers.

You can tell my front end needs stiffer springs bad. But here's a vid of me beating up this K5 body.

No vids today, just enjoyed it. Took 1 pic though. Seems to work pretty good. A little on the top heavy side.

Looks great! Is the body hydrodipped or paint? either way looks killer! Nice Job

It came from RC4WD hydrodipped. It's well past my expectations for durability, and I've beat it up pretty good.

Looks amazing I love that paint scheme. Would love to get a Jeep body like that!

What size links are you using for the shorter wheelbase body? I have a blazer body and 10.2 truck I was thinking about putting together. Also did you have to trim the inner bed for the transmission? I have a kit trans, but also have a bullet proof v1 if needed.

I am using the stock length 12.3" wheelbase. I am having to trim the interior plate, but not the bed. I'll try to get some different angles pics in a few for ya.

The little screws broke in the hinges, 0 cracks in the plastic!

I accidentally met zimbob on the trail today and got to see this rig in action. It wheels as good as it looks! He's pretty hard on the mirrors though....

It was cool meeting someone new for sure!

Mirror 0 - rock 1
Door handle 0 - rock 2
lol

Had a cool little trip with two friends today.

Here is a quick video.

Another vid, I threw the stock honcho tires on, there a bit narrower than the rock beasts xl's. Gives it a cool look. I'm gonna head to palmer park today and test out my canon t6 on some video.
