|  Project Rok-Yacht
Haven't seen a build in here lately, so I decided to post up my work in progress... The goal isn't something that is totally scale, but rather follows the idea of a truck I saw at Upper Tellico several years ago. Scale wise, my Jeep is the Red one beside it sitting on BFG Krawlers... This truck made it look stock sitting next to it. LOL    My twist will be using a JK 4-door body instead of a TJ/CJ mix like the one in the picture. I haven't seen a JK on here built yet "south-eastern trail rig style", plus I just couldn't wait to hack up a JK body... LOL The parts: TXT axles Reign K2-4 Chassis 40 Series Proline Narrow Beadlocks 40 Series RC4wd Rok Locks Axial tranny with 6mm CDW Outputs New bright JK Body Maxx Drive Shafts 7t Cobalt Puller 2s2p LiFE Rear HPI MT2 aluminum shocks The basic look I am going for:   Last edited by rojo; 11-02-2009 at 08:29 AM. |

Got a little more done today. Looks like the wheelbase should end up around 16.5 inches or so...   |

Yeah, John Project 127 would be something i could totally see you doing. This top truck challenge is going to have to happen. Maybe you can get a company bobcat or something over and dig out a tank trap and make a long mud pit in the swamp. Rok-Yacht is lookin good man!! |

 I need RC4WD to get that planetary trans and transfercase done. Then I need a plastic 1:10 scale 4 door Jeep body, hack that up and GOLD. I need to build a new tuber chassis.  | |

Patience, Patience Patrick and Blane... LOL Finally got some more done. It is officially a roller now. Still a lot of work to do but it is finally coming together. The shocks are just temporary for now. It will eventually be running coil overs mounted on shock towers. This will be real close to the final ride height though. The wheelbase is 16.25" and it has right at 5" of ground clearance.     |

I hopefully will finish getting the body mounted maybe tonight and then I will be working on the new shock set-up and filler panels for the fenders, etc over the next few weeks... | ||

Could you please tell me what the width over the outside of your wheels is? Where did you get those lower link mounts and what type are they? It looks great, that poor little tranny looks lonely all by itself though :-P |
