I'm in the process of making some body mounts and doing a little painting but here she is!

I'll snap more pics as things come together!


Joe those were the black diff covers, I painted them red and put the arb stickers on them...A lot better than $14.00 per diff! I have a T-Finder body that I will use for now but I don't really like it, I leaning towards a Jeep or Hilux yota body later on.
 
Odd timing Pete, I am getting ready to start a Tfinder or xj build too lol.
 
Damn, those came out nice, I may just do that to mine too, that is much better than $14 per diff cover.

Thanks Joe! It's easy and well worth it IMO!

If you plan on using the t-finder body from RC4wd you might want to think twice! It is very thin and flimsy, I cracked mine right were the tail lights are just by handling it while trimming it out...not impressed!
 
Yeah I'm leaning towards a cherokee, better lines for one.


Looking forward to more pics...
 
That looks great. What is the exact distance from outside to outside on the tires. I'm wondering if the rear would work on one of mine.
 
With the tires and wheels mounted it's 8 7/8 inches wide, without the tires and wheels it's 8 inches wide.
 
I have to admit that this T-Finder body has to be one of the worst yet....very plain, flat panels, no character at all, so in an attempt to make it look a little better I robbed some flares from an old Defender body.

And a look at the rear diff also painted and decaled.

Trying out some new meats....You can't say axial beadlocks don't hold, there are only two screws on each ring!

I love Rok Lox, every bit as good as a flat iron and taller... Looking good.
