Jeep rock buggy

[Ezekiel7]

I dont know if you already have an idea, but maby add some KC or PIAA style lights on the front guard or the top roll bars.

might add some nice detail to the build...

Looks really nice so far..good work.

well i would but i've never seen a rockcrawler of this sort with a ton of lights. I would imagine it would be pretty stupid to attempt any type of crawling at night.

LOL, look up night lights and rock crawling and you would be amazed. I have seen rigs that have up to 20 small HID's or LED's placed around their chassis just so they can crawl at night. On a forum I belong to a guy had a switch block that supported 14 pairs of small HID's?! Looked like a spaceship at night running around on the ground. If you can imagine it, people will do it.

haha well i stand corrected, I personally wouldn't ever do it but I don't doubt that some people do.

I finished this today but it is to windy to get any outdoor shots, the wind kept blowing the hood up and it wouldn't stay down so hopefully tomorrow I will have some better luck.


Enzo how is your jeep coming? I see you are still having the photobucket problems.

Well as far as the Photobucket I am at a loss. I cannot comprehend that my account renewed a week ago and I am already over the limit. I know that it has not been viewed that many times. So, either I pay, or I wait. Personally I wait.

As for the Jeep, it is sitting on the bench where is has not moved for 3 weeks. My final semester in college started and thus the time for models is no longer for a while. I will try though as I want all two people who care to see it. It looks great! I really canot believe that I built it.

By the way, I really love your buggy! Seems like something a person could build in 1:1 and be successful. Too bad about the wind. It has been windy and cold as hell here for weeks. I can't even play with my real Jeep lately!!!

Hopefully you get your pics up soon.

What motor is that. It looks like a 460 but I am not sure.

[deward]

Maybe you can make a new photobucket account. Thats what i did so i could have one just with my model pictures and then one for all my personal stuff.

I did get one decent picture but i think ill wait till i can get some more to go along with it.


The moter came from the revell bronco and i have no clue what size it is.

[Turbokid15]

[deward]
