Default Rckcrwlr's Jeep Mighty FC "Trail Walker" Crew Cab

So it has been killing me not to show this to anyone, so I finally got this done.

I have been wanting to have Dready do a rig for over a year but really could not find something that I wanted...until Moab this year.

With having a at the Bantam Jeep Festival I wanted something to really stand out.

That is when I saw my inspiration...

The Concept Jeep Mighty FC








But it wasn't quite there...
Then somebody did some photoshop magic and the light went on...




So here she is...based off a TF2...

I had to stretch the wheel base a little with a 4-Link set up in the rear...Left the leafs up front for now. May work on the 3-Link but am running out of time to get ready for the Event next weekend.

The wheels are Tarantulas that I stripped and painted Satin Black.

Here is the chassis set up.

Wow, is that body all styrene? Looks like might have started life as a new bright JK?

We need pics of the build!

This was completely hand built. Only thing that was not "made" are the RC4WD Bench Seats and the Fire Extinguisher in the bed.

Build will be coming... Dready is busy watching the Woman's Long Distance Olympic Runners go by his house. LOL

Could be a good Point to add a few of these

A Big Thanks to John for letting me do this for him.

Here's the Start of the Project no plans for this one just a Crappy Drawing and some wheels from Rc4wd

















The Bumper is purely cosmetic and made from styrene

Look Familiar?

It wasn't that much longer than stock. I cant remember I think its about 12.5''
If you look at the back axle the rear shocks are now mounted infront not behind.
