cherokees are SFA rigs and some had skid plates from the factory...the pattern on this piece is too big and it will be replaced...but it is there to protect the steering servo and linkage.

Did you find them in aisle 9b? The real question is whether they have wings.

It is a very nice looking truck, but I'm more enamoured with the 1/8 Camaro you have posted on Scale 4x4...

G.I.Joe should get much head riding around in that! You have way too much patience to be able to do that much detail. Are you going to put it on the rocks?

just a suggestion KC: since it's a Land Rover, why not mount the spare tire (or tyre) on the hood (or bonnet)?

if I stick a masher on the hood the driver won't be able to see...lol and NO I'm not cutting a tire in half. they all need to be the same size....the plan is for the spare to lie flat in the back.

got er back together...new windshield, floor in back now and a cooler on the back (w drinks in it too lol)







my inner rear fenders are bent outward at the top so when the body goes on they go flush with the rear floor...making it hard for dirt to get inside... and realistic looking when you look inside the fenders.
