I would have came in a better position but my steering servo gears decided to give up after 8 years of use. And I had a ton of sidewall roll on sidehills causing me to roll. So I installed a new savox servo this week and I am waiting on Pitbull rock beast with c1 foams to arrive.
Love that shot of the undercarriage

Awesome man... plans for my XJ early on this year will be the 4wd tranny and tc, then get my lift on and buy a new set of tires... then hopefully I can snag an axial wraith or something.

My neighbor is doing that to his mj. It's currently 2wd. But he has a hp30/soa D44 both with 4.88's and chromoly shafts. Front is open rear has a detroit. A 4wd tranny and tcase with sye, 5.5" coils , 1" lift shackles , crossmember , he's saving for a double shear trackbar and steering. He also has some jk rubi wheels and 37's for it.

Painted the truggy bed added 4" springs to replace the 3" springs. I was running on 4" shocks. The weight of the cage on soft springs lowered the front so there was no uptravel. The 4" springs gave me the ride height I was at and more uptravel the rear of the truggy is lighter so the 4" springs raised the rear so I just used a different shock mount to lower the rear to where the ride height was with 3" shocks and angled them forward so they actually flex better.

lol - dude, I looked at that first pic and didn't even realize it was an RC until I saw the next one. You did a really good job on scaling that thing. I know I've told ya that before, but I just can't get over it.

That yeti's pretty sweet - was that an rtr?
