I like it a lot, the light blue with the black works . The liner looks spot on as well .

The blue is killer and works well with the black. The bedliner material looks spot on perfect. Love this rig.

[brandonwalsh420]

very nice... what kind of paint did you use for the black bed liner?

[dadrab]

That's great looking work, man. I really like the cage.

[ZoSo]

[shannwah]

What brand of jeep did you start with? I haven't seen another brand that has the separate chassis like the Hasbro, but your body has some different details compared to the Hasbro.

It is the hasbro one, it was the one with the 4 gas cans on the hood, the guy i got it from had already cut the frame alittle shorter, and painted it.

Got my new tires today

[jeepcj578]

The one thing I didnt like was the orangish color head lights this thing has.
So I will just use some glue to hold the grill and rad housing together.
i just made a notch in the grill shell for the back of the housing, drilled a 1/8" hole, cut the bottom of the housing in about half. Then you can see the diff much better I think. Yes that is the large axail one, I will prob cut the little bars off the cover.

Axial buckets look great in there.
