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" http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1202-00208.jpg much more to come, please don't mind the phone cam pics, i could get my camera to sync with my laptop. |
lookin sweet man cant wait to see more |
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. |
Yup, i ran with it alright! haha http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1203-00244.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1203-00251.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1203-00250.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1203-00249.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1203-00247.jpg 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. |
now thats a willys!! "thumbsup" |
Thanks for the comments! i plan on doing some more on it today. bumpers and sliders."thumbsup" |
Saw this willy's in person yesterday this jeep is gonna be awesome! |
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? |
front bumper with shackle hangers, hoop and hood bar. i think ill end up tying in the fenders to the bumper. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1204-00259.jpg Made a rear bumper with a receiver, thought it would add to the look... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1204-00260.jpg always wanted one..1/6 scale version is way bigger! http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1204-00261.jpg This thing is so much fun to work on. |
oh yah and.... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1204-00269.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1204-00267.jpg a jeep wouldn't be a jeep without an "oh shit!" bar http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1204-00265.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...1204-00263.jpg fender was a pain in the ass...im fearing the other side. |
the jeep look cherry hawaiian! you should bring um to the gtgs. |
Oh yeah that looks sweet and the axles are a perfect match for the 1:6 .... Great fab work as well I'm subscribing to this thread .. Ya got my attn. J-bird |
Thats the best use of Wriath axles ive seen,i like,and awsome tubework. Im a follower..... |
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. |
Wow... you aren't wasting any time. :shock: Rig looks neato "thumbsup" |
I like it! :) :flipoff::mrgreen::flipoff: |
