|  My first willys build.
Hey I’m not new but haven’t done many build threads so bare with me. Thanks to kms for selling me a jeep tub with the frame cut and some alu cut to fit in the frame rails. This build was started years ago so I’ve lost pics. It sat forever till I decided to get it going. Here are the only few pics from that time but if I find them I’ll post them.  Frame cut and painted.  Motor mocked up and grill cut out.  Hood hinged with scale hardware. Missing pics of the cage build. Next are with the links and axles under it. Cage done and that’s where it stopped again for months on end.     My next post will be how it sits it now and what’s done and what’s next. Thanks for reading! Updated found my other pics  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk         Last edited by 2manyprojects; 05-19-2020 at 06:47 PM. |

Here is how it sits now. Put just a Holmes esc and rc4wd motor and whatever drive shafts I had to get it going. Shake down run went good now just gonna take it apart put the mips in and the motor/trans/esc that's going in and threadloc everything.         Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk |

Starting the bumper and going to redo the cage as well. End up finding two more jeeps for a good deal to use the parts I don't have and for another build plan later on. Finishing the bumper today or tomorrow.     Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk |

How can I find one of these to build? I absolutely love them! I have an original 1948 M38 and a 1948 CJ 2A with a small block chevy in it. Would love to have a scale R/C Willys crawler. Please tell me how to find one!!!! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |

Pics of the cage I built awhile back. Made it around a 21st centuries doll which are bigger and not pleased with the cage so I am going to make another cage today or modify this one.    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
