Thanks. I had been wanting to do the bigger wheels smaller tires, and wanted something that played well with the pink truck

Looks like the perfect setup and it performs well! Also, love the doggy avatar photo. Looks like you have a corgi. We have corgis too

Yup. The Corgi is my youngest daughter's. Her name is Annie Oakley. She's about a year and a half, we got her at 9 weeks. She's a black, BIG personality, but I'm sure you already know that

Nice! Ours is a little over a year and a half. He's our second corgi. We got him at 15 weeks. And yes, big personality as well (true to all corgis). Our guy has an opinion about everything

Do they talk back when fussed at or called out?

Yes, yes they do. Or maybe it's just the two I've had

Looks great. Working up one here as well, did you have to mod the bumper ends when you trimmed the fenders? I am running a slightly bigger and wider tire, with a little offset. Test fitting shows some contact at the bumper ends. Thanks.

Yes our's most certainly does LOL

Thanks.

I have not trimmed the bumper yet

But I am going to put a different bomber on my JLU and move the bumper on that currently to the Base Camp
It's a lot narrower

SweetI haven’t messed with the basecamp model yet, but your build is right up my alley, nice write up, I bet that pinkery can crawl.

Thanks! I need to use it more. Haven't messed with it much since those last updates

I built some obstacles, just need to get some paint on then soon

There's a hobby shop I like to go to that has a nice 1/24 course that I want to get to in a few weeks. I'll get some pics and videos

A little update. Ever since my wife got me this for Christmas ( It was number one on my wish list) my wife and daughters have been calling it my "Barbie Jeep". The other day they picked me up a pack of little Barbie stickers as a joke so I decided to run with it.
I think it came out pretty cool
