Talking Took her out today...

So i was able to get out today and take the WK to a local area where some construction is taking place and it made for a really fun place to do some wheelin'. I just painted up a new Rubi body and it was cool seeing the Jeep flexin' on the terrain. The truck did perfect and nothing broke, which is always good. The stock esc did however overheat just a couple times tho, no big deal as im still rockin' the stock electrics so im not mad about it. Anyway i took several pics so i thought id share a few...

Nice WK, man. That and the tire/wheel combo just look "right". How much did you stretch the wheelbase on that rig?

Nice! And I agree with you on the Moabs. Did you extend the front body posts or just the rears?

Thanks. Yeah i bought two pairs of some extended posts and cut them down in the front. I might trim them down more in the front but i left a little so i could raise the body more if i ran bigger tires in the future.
