Red TJ Build

[97TJGUZZY]

its a bit crude, and still unpainted, but...its a half door. Gotta add a handle as well.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

I think I may lower the cage down a bit too...I'm thinking cut about 1/4" out of the height.

Ya dude, lower it. How the hell you gonna put a top on with that cage haning out the top??:

It looks good though. Would look better with the cage a little lower IMO.

Looks a lot better with the half doors. Handles are overrated!

I think just about all tjs look better with half doors!

Hah, being on 38s vs your 54s will be enough of a disadvantage

I got the doors finished and the cage lowered yesterday. Ill get some pics up today.

Hard to tell from this angle but the cage is 3/8" lower

sleeved my lowers and added heat shring to the uppers and steering to make it look less like threaded rod

also fixed my front pinion angle.

had some time sunday night chilling in the garage and I decided to try something that I had been wondering about.

I took a piece of piano wire and some servo mounts and made a rear sway bar for the tj. Seems to work great at speed and still lets it flex pretty well.

Also built a rear bumper last week before the offroad festival to grab some scale points!

 

[97TJGUZZY]

That bumper looks pretty good, I didn't even notice it at the Offroad Festival.

thanks, its actually styrene because I didnt want to add any more weight than I had to.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

Yeah these things get heavy quick! Where did you get the styrene at?

its the same stuff I capped my half doors with, I got it from the hobby shop in Charlotte when I was up there.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

Had a good time out at the river with the guys. My windshield finally gave up and shattered and broke off on a rollover. Also not sure whats up with my servo but its making some funky noises now.

new foams made my tires 1/2" taller, which when you are talking about a 4" tire means a lot. They dont wrap as bad and roll under in turns. It was night and day while crawling.

new foams made my tires 1/5" taller, which when you are talking about a 4" tire means a lot. They dont wrap as bad and roll under in turns. It was night and day while crawling.

What foams are you running now?

 

[97TJGUZZY]

What foams are you running now?

[97TJGUZZY]

just noticed in your quote that I typed 1/5"...I meant 1/2" taller.
