That's very gracious of bananaclip "thumbsup". I like the summit bumper but I'm sure nanaclip has a good one in mind.

Type of bumper? Well thats up to the owner. I can knock out any style for you. Show me some pics and give me the dimensions. "thumbsup" I just dont really care for plastic armor.

only other bumpers i can find that i like are basically metal versions of the summit bumper haha!
The "rod" based ones that i like i feel they only look good on IFS ones. Like this:
how sick is this pic?!

IMO the second one listed with a bit more detail work would be rad. Most of the ones listed are nice, but are cookie cutter mass produced items. The second one catches my eye because it is mounted tight and high. Gives you a bit more clearance. Let me know.;-)

I vote for the second one, the 1:1 in that pic looks just like your rig now!
Although the bumper sees to be unpainted on that 1:1. Black would be better.

Seems like it would be tough to get just right without having the rig in front of you?

I agree, but that is up to you. I feel that I have a good name on our beloved forum and love the hobby to much to taint that. Also I do stuff like this out of the love of our hobby not for profit. Finally I oversee a 3 county alternative sentencing program for the court system. My boss's are circuit judges. Like I said your call. I'm just trying to offer help to a fellow scale addict. "thumbsup" P.S I have plenty of chromoly.;-)

Definitely not a question of trusting you. It's a question of can i love without my beautiful FJ for the few weeks I'm guessing it would take. Hahahaha!

How did the comp go? Did you try the overdrive axle idea? Curious how this might have turned out.

Worked on fj Saturday. I put an Sv3 in with ccbec and cs170 servo and a Holmes Hobbies 10t puller. It has a 17t pinion and could go to 20tooth and still be slow enough to have a precise crawl. I also hard mounted the front bumper nice n secure. It's getting ready for a weekend in the desert this weekend!

Well looks like rain will not let us play like we had planned. But i did a bunch of little detail touches to the eff jay today.
Painted then letters white
Trying non some new shoes. Not sure how I feel about them. I bought them for my LJ project coming up but eff jay is gonna borrow them till I get my LJ back.
Tinkered with the rear shocks to get a tad more flex out of them.
Got a 1:10 scale jerry can and holder
And solid mounted the body and front bumper finally

As much as I like Walkers, I have to say I think the steelies look better on there.
It's finally starting to warm up here too, but we still have a bunch of snow and my rigs are fat so they just sink and get stuck.

Ya I'm still not sure what I feel about them. I think this particular rig looks better on non Beadlock Wheels.
