Default Humvee Rack?????

So I have been bending up a rack for the back of my Humvee. I was thinking ofjust painting it black and putting a tire underneith it or should I get a MSD rack and put the tire on the rack and Canvas is the rack. I also bent up some rock sliders for the rig. I really love the way this truck came out using a BB-51 Frame. Let me know what you guys think?

Looks great but ditch those plastic bumpers. All that tube work. They gotta go.

I was thinking of the same thing!! I think I will bend up some bumpers using some the of the square stock and round.

As for the Tires I think I am gona switch back to the Geolanders. Even though the Moabs probably perform better but the look of the Geos are better.

Oh Yeah and this hummer Crawls! Thanks for the compliments guys!

Hmmm... I'm gonna paint everything black if it keeps the weight down lower on the body!

As for the fifty in the background, it's been modified to make the little 331 run a 11.70 @ 117.33mph N/A. Also pulls 1.61 60's on 17" Drag radials. It can stand up for it self.

Well I got to work on the bumpers tonight. I didn't get any pics of the rear bumper. It's really nothing special but I did make a nifty front bumper. It has a bit of a mixture of solid square and round Brake line. I think it came out alright for my First bumper. I just need to attach it tomorrow but let me know what you think.

Yeah those plastics one made it look too much like a toy or something you could buy from Toys-R-us. The metal ones are soo much better.

Well got the bumper all mounted and painted up and the Rear Cage mounted and painted. I am pretty happy with it. I just think I still need a MSD scale rack with tools. I am gona be getting rock rings so might as well make one order. Here are some new pics.

Hummer looks great nandez. You did an superb job on the rack and bumpers.

This is a great shot, damn that scale chassis can flex.
