Default Jeep Gladiator Trail Trekker

Just got my trail trekker today and have already started on a new body for it, the Revell Jeep Honcho kit with a resin Gladiator grille.

I've got a Wagoneer body that is getting the wood grain sides one of these days!!! The Gladiator is just getting a mildly weathered well used look.

Made a little more progress on the Gladiator, body is in primer and made a "tool box" to cover the hole I made to clear the receiver and battery

I does pretty good, of course it is a little top heavy and if I wheel it very much it will lose the mirrors!!!

Here it is with lights, I still need to come up with a better battery pack to run the lights, I wired these up with a 9 volt and it is just too big!!
