No kidding this thing is huge... I just printed the grille for it, and it took up the whole print bed. Just the grill alone is the size of a wraith hood.  This is one of the iconic 8x8 builds on this site. I love it! |

FREQESKINZ.com hooked it up on a nice custom Crawler Innovations bed skin.    Some sweet "Szczerba Built" decals too.   |

I still love this project, but I can't help thinking the paintjob on the cab is out of place. Not that it doesn't look cool, but I feel that it loses some of the 'badass-ness' factor not painted like a 1:1 HET would be. I DO, however, like the bed-vinyl. |

Not really a suggestion, just speaking out loud. I wasn't aware that the plan was that from the get-go so I was just surprised.

I never really mentioned the paint theme but I hadn't planned on it being a drab military theme. Jesse and I are meeting up tonight in Texas so I can grab the cab from him and tote this beast to ECSC. The JC Auto Designs printed grill(s) will be waiting on me in PA.  | |

Fair enough. It's still an amazing project, don't get me wrong. |

We were trying to stay clear of the usual military style paint and build. This rig is considered to be a crawler hauler and support vehicle to be and massive advertisement for Crawler Innovations. I did what Eddie wanted me to do and give it an old school hotrod style with his colors.
