Another Jeep build..this time a TJ

Like he said, Great tube work. Very complete jeep for sure, I've got a 4 door just waiting for some love. Once again great job, been subscribed from the beginning.
 
Only thing i wish you could have done was lay the rear shocks down and move them out back like i did on the red LJ. I had 80mm shocks here too that i could have just given you since ive lagged soo much on the mount. if you could figure out a way to mount them behind the axle that would be sick! Looks good nonetheless!

You wan't it back I just wish I had it! I drive an '04 TJ everyday, would love to paint his up and set it on my hood,lol.


Great work on this it looks killer now, once completed looks to be amazing.
 
man that rig is turning out better each time I see it!

Need to get my hands on a transfer case one of these days.
 
Wow, thanks guys."thumbsup"

All the tube and metal work credit goes to ser3100!

I'm considering laying the shocks toyota style much like the LJ, but for now I like the rear shocks behind the seats.

Ive trimmed the rear armor and instaled tail lights, and secured all the other armor. No more clips.

I also changed the position of the rear links to get the axle centered a bit more. Wraith seats are in, as well as a front K44, the rear is on its way, should be several weeks though as i had to source it from Europe.

Can someone tell me why RC4WD international has 41 K44 rear axles in stock but the US version has none in stock, WTF RC4WD? anyways

All in all i think it needs to sit lower. 90mm all the way around right now.

Thanks man!!! I hope I'm doing this rig some justice in your opinion. I do agree invaders would look sick on this TJ, better than the Boggers at least. I hope rc4wd makes better two face tires in decent sizes one day. I don't see many 1:1 rigs running massively huge and porky wide Wrangler MTR K's.

:ror: , I think I may build a YJ with those D35's but maybe an F350 who knows. I really want to put a 3 link up front with pan hard for scale looks. I even thought with rc4wd's new 3-link with panhard for the TF2 it would be easy but it seems it's truss is set up for the UK, Japan, And AUS, wrong side drivers.

Thanks for getting the mount out:mrgreen:"thumbsup".
 
Wow....this is an RC right? That front axle looks great under there. Nice work. I love my axial axles but they don't look half as real as that does!

What wheels are those?

whats the wheelbase roughly on this thing? Believe the NB jeeps are 10ish wb?

Waiting to get my body and MRC axles in. Not as cool looking as those but they are a start.
 
is that the Dinky RC divorce kit?

I'm waiting for parts to start my TJ build, but its going to be a GCM chassis/t-case setup

Looks like it turned out well. dont hate me if I copy some stuff. :twisted:

Its not the whole kit, its just the Dinky split-skid with a custom motor mount by ser3100.
 
Damn either mine looks like the dinky kit or his looks like mine. Thats is a fine peice of machining in the dinky kit! So clean!
