Seen a metal jeep today at a auction, wanted it but it sold for 90 bucks...

this is a very cool rig...nother guy on here asked for the top up pic..can you post one?????

I have a 1/6 JIGOE jeep and a 1/6 ji geosandrail.
What are you using to build these up? I see your using alot of Axiel parts, is there a rtr kit that I could put under it?.
The main reason I haven't Sold my sand rail or jeep is I'd like to do a RC conversion with one possibly both.
I'm not so sure I want to mess with the sandrail though as the last too I saw sell on e-bay went for mad loot. (2500.00 bux for one) (750.00 for another that was damaged) and mines mint) Either the sand rails are duper rare or people got more money than brains.
BTW it looks good.

Thanks. I guy in my club made them for me.

[tklatti]

Just finished the top!!

[squatch71]

I still like this build...Wife got this for me, didn't put two and two together..not as nice as yours, have to fix on break in it...

[nickvig]

Top and trailer look sweet! Would you mind showing a pic of how you mounted the rear shocks?

[Tin Soldier]

Pretty darn sweet. Needs a spare that matches the rest of the wheels and tires tho.

I sort of like the flat irons better, but it's a nice looking jeep.

[Calichingon00]

nice use of the para cord

How did you remount the front bumper after removing that funky 'sub frame' used to make the stock tires turn left and right? I finally have some axles in a wheelbase jig, starting the first few cuts into the body.

Glued it into place. The first cuts are always the worst!!

Thanks! I cut open the hood first, so it wasn't too bad. I believe that my Willys body is identicle to yours, it has the '2002' cast into the t-case skid plate. I can't believe how many variations of this body that are out there, I've been pouring over the build threads to get an idea and every Jeep seems to be a bit different.

what front shocks did you use?
