Injora Cherokee Cab/Back half cage hard body truggy

[DeoreDX]

I thought I would make a thread on this hard body as it is relatively cheap on Amazon at less than $70 with the hard body cab and cage. It went together easily with no issue. With no interior it is really easy to fit up and plenty of space for electronics. There is space to mount the battery under the back cage too. I have plans to make my own body mounts as I thought the included mounts pretty chintzy, but I threw them on temporarily and they held up to some hard rolls and falls on the first 2 trail runs. Both side mirrors have ripped off so I might not glue them back on.

Original paint and fitup to the chassis.


The one thing I didn't like about the body was the lack of panel under the B pillar. I was originally going to make a whole back cab closing in the back from polystyrene but I decided to take the easy way out and just made a 3D printed body panel spacer to replace the plastic spacers that came with the body and not bother filling in the back of the cab (yet).

With spacer:


I uploaded my body spacer to thingiverse if anyone wants to download and use it.

The windshield wipers and fenders are made from rubber. I haven't bothered with any glue on the wipers and they have stayed on through 2x 2 hour trail runs. Side mirrors as I said both broken off through the handles have stayed on fine.



The wheel wells will fit a 4.75" tire You don't have to worry about fitting a tire in a rear wheel well to that makes this body really easy to fit up.



Maybe later I will take some pictures with the filler panel weathered and show the back half with some weathered scale accessories installed. I mainly wanted to share my SLT file in case anyone wants to use this body as IMHO it makes the body look and order of magnitude better.

Mine was originally white. I bought white because I thought it would give me the easiest base to paint. I did end up painting it a very similar color to the orange they offer.

Strange it says 4 weeks. I checked the Amazon listing I bought from and it says in stock on the 3rd for delivery on the 6th/7th.

Yeah definitely hoping it's sooner, probably the coronavirus holding it up or something.
i didn't notice the area under the B pillar before seeing your post. I will have to try my hand and "body work" to patch that in. Yours looks so much better than stock.
What chassis are you running and what did you have before for a body? Are you happy with it's capability?

Long story. See my build thread in the 1.9 forums. Vaporware chassis that had several really horrible youtube videos about it. The chassis was filled with a lot of very questionable very poor design decisions that makes for a poor chassis design. The videos were so bad I had to buy it to check it out.

It finally showed up and man, the box was beat up. I opened it and found everything to be what appears to be intact. I will say I'm immediately impressed with the detail on the initial pieces I've looked at. The boss(wife) is making me wait for the weekend for assembly.....so stoked.

I think this will be my next body. Will probably take a year to get here to New Zealand currently

I ended up going with the 325mm wheelbase kit with 4.75x1.75x1.9 tires and steel wheels. The body is quite large and heavy. My stock TRX4 Bronco body weighed about 200 grams and this weighs about 420 grams.

Haven't taken it out yet, but I'm using that body on my new trail truck.

I've run this body on my TRX4 at home for the last month and compared to the stock Bronco body, it took some getting used to. But now that i understand how the additional weight affects the rig's performance, I'm very confident with it. Totally digging it!

Trying to post a picture again....

Is the color molded or painted?

[beefy]

It's painted. Starting to show a little wear but considering what i put it through....not too bad.

Thank you very much for the help on posting pics....
I added a back plate to the body from styrene and injora's interior as well.

You're welcome. The photos are embedded now, but way too large. Ensure you choose the "1024 x 768" option and copy that link.
