The battery will fit under the hood . Don't mind the wires . I will take care of that soon . Oh by the way I used a stock TLT chassis to cut my battery mount from . :p

Yes I'm planning on running my 2.2s at Nationls . Only reason I built it was for Nationals to hang out with old friends and maybe some new pups . The Willys is just a bonus for me . I was not really into the BIG Willys at first but after getting it to this points I am . This just gives me anoher rig to run that LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG weekend .

Once you get this running and drive it, you'll be hooked too. The big Jeeps are more fun to drive than anything else I have ever built...

I got some work done this morning . I found some 3/16 x1 7/8" J bolts for my pull points on my front bumper . I also got all the front lights shoe gooed in . I also got 2 of the 4 inter fenders and the inside of the tub sprayed black .

A friend of mine made me a power tank back sometime ago . It was cool but looked to big for my Honcho . I think it looks right on here .
I found a spare set of axle shafts at the junk yard this morning . So I fabbed up some mounts to keep them from rolling around .
On the way back I drop the ol heep off at the muffler shop . When back to pick it up and they put a sticker on there . Man was I ever mad .

Well the cage has been started . It is going to be very tight time frame on it . Most likley it will get installed at Nationals . I'm not sure my wheels will make it . So I got to try and find some Axail or Proline 2.2s . I did get my winch ordered so I will get it after Nationals .

Thanks Matt

As for how Swilly runs/drivers . All I can say is it is very different driving the big rigs . But different can be a good thing .

Well I had to go to plan B on wheels . The Mayhems didn't get finished in time . So I ended up getting some RC4WD 2.2 steelies as a back up . I hope to get the others after Nationals .
