@rollinlow this jeep is looking great. I love the metal body panels, it really adds to the scale look of the jeep and you can't go wrong with RCNT decals on the window either! :D

Thanks guys I'm loving the look of it too

Few more little things to do to the body but its pretty much done for now
 
Well guys I took it out for a run yesterday and its a awesome little rig but it needs some tunning to get it right
 
Yor rig is looking bad a$$, they always need a little tuning and you might think about getting one of these hex driver bits for your wheels http://miponline.com/store/mip9007s.html I got one for my wheels and it makes doing bead locks so much more enjoyable, I use it with one of the small electric screw drivers that go fairly slow and has an adjustable clutch so I don't strip screw heads.
 
Well the locked up hardware is a scale socket type screw so it takes a little thing to put them on
Added some simple lights and some rock lights in the front fender
