Thanks man!

I just drilled holes and used the standard stock SCX body mounts. I hid the ones on the hood with the Hi-Lift jack and the rear ones are in the rear cargo area.

Heres a few new pics, you can see the body mounts in these pics, the body pins arnt in in these pics.

I built a quick photo box and added a couple more scale accessories and a set of JK scale RC4WD wheels and Two Face tires so here are some new pics.

That is f%@*ing awesome!! love the rear bumper and paint job! smooth

scbroder · 03-27-2011, 03:51 PM

Looks great. Were you able to purchase the wheels in a set of five from RC4WD?

Just noticed you tail lights are on upside down. Did you do this intentionally?

RC4WD sells sets of 4 and then they sell single rims also.

Holy crap! As much as I have looked at this thing and done to it, I have never noticed that....lol At first I thought you were bustin my balls, I had to go look at it...haha. Oh man that is funny, well I guess I have to switch those around.

0lllllll0 · 03-27-2011, 06:28 PM

Ok, tail lights are switched around. I will have to get some new pics up, or you can just turn your computer screen upside down and they look correct in the pics.

scbroder · 03-27-2011, 11:46 PM

I see they sell the wheel individually now. Originally I only found the set of 4.

Glad you got the tail lights straightened up.

I didn't notice it the first time I looked at you pictures. It's something that doesn't stand out unless you look right at it.

Your jeep looks good, really like it.

j-bird · 03-27-2011, 11:56 PM

Glad to see you found the single wheel on there site. They are really nice looking but will challenge you when mounting them but there worth it.

Thanks for pointing out the tail lights

and thanks for the compliments!

Thanks j-bird! Yep the jerry cans are removable and the whole thing swings out. I will get some pics of it swung open.

Thanks again!

i seen that from atwill and i'm planning on copying it for my jk custom i'm gonna start soon if you could post up some piccs of the menchanics of it...that'd be sweet.

murky123 · 03-28-2011, 09:41 AM

very nice, and very clean

next up: a driver and inner wheelwells ?

Jordan41 · 03-28-2011, 10:08 AM

damn i really like this jeep jk. it looks so realistic. nice build.

gijoe63b · 03-28-2011, 12:01 PM

I'm not real big on the JK's, but this one is pritty nice. I favor the TJ's. I'm working on a 1:6 TJ build from scratch with remote locking diffs in the large scale section. Jeep build I think is needs a few scratches on it though. Good Job.

Lobonyc · 03-28-2011, 01:06 PM

You have given me new hope for my New Brite JK Body(Muddy edition)!

The cuts on the fenders are superbly clean and the paint job looks factory fresh.

Love the RC4WD Jeep rims. Everything looks good!

Thanks for posting your work in progress!!1

Thanks it was a fun build.

Yeah I am looking for just the right driver, and I actually started looking around the house last night to see whatI could use for wheel wells, so those will be coming soon.

You have a cool looking rig there my friend. I have my eye out for a TJ also for another rig I want to build.

Thanks for the kind words. The mud is kind of a PITA but once you get started on it it goes pretty quick and your done before you know it.

This has been a fun build, and I cant wait to do more to it.

Like mentioned I still want to add a driver, make some wheel wells, add some nice custom sliders(which are on order through @tw!ll) and add some more scale accessories....and I'm sure theres more too!!

Thanks again everyone.
