Wr-eep!
 
It's been a while since i've built anything, so here goes.. I was recently brought a dragon 1:6th scale Joe jeep body, as a kind token of "hurry up and build this thing so we can go crawling." from Toobicon(thank you again Reid).

i bought a wraith for my son a couple months ago and he got bored with it, so what better to do with it than throw some full width axles under this thing...all i can say is wow!!! We'll enough with the jibber jabber, pics tell the story..more to come, but heres what I'm working with so far."thumbsup"

Lookin good brother! Finally another willys to run with. Mine has been lonely for too long now.
As for the full width axles, I have always appreciated the heavily modded rigs compared to full stock looking so run with it man.

its going to be big!! the wheelbase sits just under 15" :shock:
still have to fab up the sliders, fenders and bumpers...it's going to be a pig.

This looks like it'sgoing to be a pretty sick rig.

Good luck with the build.

YoUnG_vErSiOn 12-04-2011 11:07 AM

Saw this willy's in person yesterday this jeep is gonna be awesome!

ToobIcon 12-04-2011 01:59 PM

Awesome Kila! To me, the width of the axles is perfect for the overall look. 1/4 panel rock guards would complement the cage and sliders well, just my opinion. This rig is going to force me to change a few things up on mine just to run with you!
Another well laid out build, cage, sliders, 1/4 panel clearance cuts, all going to make for a capable large scale that I know is gonna be a hoot to drive.

Wr...eep, or Wr......illys?

YoUnG_vErSiOn 12-04-2011 05:18 PM

front bumper with shackle hangers, hoop and hood bar. i think ill end up tying in the fenders to the bumper.

Made a rear bumper with a receiver, thought it would add to the look...

always wanted one..1/6 scale version is way bigger!

Can we get a straight on shot so it shows how much the tires stick out past the body w/ the Wraith axles? I'm thinking about trying something w/ them on a current project.

Rockpiledriver 12-05-2011 03:06 PM
