Very cool, looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

It could still scratch through the black base.

It almost makes me wonder if Axial made it silver specifically for that "scratch" body idea.

I love the scratch body idea. Works very well when you crash a lot.

Heres some more pictures.

When i first got it on the work bench:



After the first mod ( will be swapped out with stainless steel links in the future. )

So I was bored today and while cleaning my area i came across some wheels and tires i forgot about and decided to try them out on the jk. i originally bought these for a ttc truck that's still being built they look really good but you get maybe an inch of articulation before they start rubbing. i do not remember the width of the hub im using but a wider hub and taking the fender flares and they would work great. Maybe if i can get my hands on another body ill try it out.



I just made orders to rc4wd and rpp hobby so hopefully ill have some good updates next week.

or leave it as is, and never take it off road, form over function as an army of mall crawling show jeeps have proven,

Lol true but this is going to be a runner. i already have 2 somewhat shelf queens with gobo and the disco. Also i think im selling the wheels and tires to a buddy who wants them for a 1:1 replica.

I honestly like it better with the stock tires on it.

Those other ones look just a bit too big to me.

So i took the jeep out for its maiden voyage outside with the 2.2's because i just had to see how it drove. It was ok but the tires rub waaaaaay to much and will actually bind at full steering lock. either way i had a fun time only stopping because the snow got too fluffy and i was just sinking in and the electronics are stock lol.

Pics!

Way too cool. I'm a lights kinda guy. So are you gonna put some lights on it? how bout that new light bar from vanquish/rigid? It would look great! But perhaps some simpler led buckets on a roof rack since you're on an expedition theme?
