1/6 SCX6. Big fella, thing will drive right up my stairs. Bought it and painted to the best match to Gobi I could find before my JT got delivered. Turned out pretty close

Sweet my son and I have a pair of the Axial Yeti Trophy trucks and my daughter has a Slash.

Been waiting the grap the 1/10 scale since I can I can get a Pro line clear body to paint

Just slapped my MC sector shaft brace in......been in the garage for over a year now.

Got the truck back today from the dealership, had it for 12 days. Repainted hood due the the dreaded hood corrosion bubbles. They also repainted the tailgate due to the clear coat failing in a few locations. They returned it to me today with no RUBICON hood stickers or JEEP emblem on the tail gate. The service advisor said 1 month for parts... However the paint looks much better. One other thing, they installed a new Main and Aux battery for the 2nd time.

That must be the nicest USMC vet license plate I have ever seen- love that big eagle, globe and anchor! Semper Fi!

Had a local shop dial in my caster today........nice improvement

Next up is the MetalCloak Tierod, sector shaft brace and front track bar/steering box reinforcement bracket.

Hey @mintyjl what did they dial your caster in at ? I set mine at 5.4. I think @WILDHOBO had said most run in that degree range . I am extremely curious.

How are you setting your caster? Do you have adjustable Lower Control Arms?

Adjustable control arms are the only way to adjust caster on these, unless you have the control arm geometry brackets that allow a little adjustment. Most of those recommend you have adjustable arms anyways.

Yes @wcberry Tera flew Alpine LC arms

Shit I'll have to throw digital angle finder on it. We ended up pushing the whole axle forward to get the springs almost perfectly straight; no bowing on either axis.

I will also measure the UCAs and LCAs for reference

Now’s the perfect time for a custom name on the hood and old school Jeep letters on the tailgate!

Yeah, I like the old school JEEP letters from gladiusoffroad, I don't know if anyone else makes them or not. My RUBICON hood emblems were gold outlined to some what match my method bronze wheels. Have gold vinyl overlays from @pixeldecals on the JEEP lettering on the fenders and the tailgate.

Guys and gals, caster is not that important. If you're somewhere in the +5 to +7 range and no more than a degree difference from side to side, then you're good. Worrying about tenths of a degree is absolutely pointless.

I have both the old-school Jeep tailgate and fender badging from @GladiusOffroad and the hood lettering from Pixel Decals. Fully support both.

Ever felt like buying a car is akin to ordering the most expensive item on the menu, only to realize your wallet's on a diet? Enter Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) – the financial equivalent of enjoying that gourmet meal without the immediate heartburn. With PCP, you pay an initial deposit, followed by monthly installments that are typically lower than traditional loans. This is because you're essentially covering the car's depreciation during the contract term, not its full value. At the end of the term, you're faced with a choice: make a final 'balloon payment' to own the car, return it, or trade it in for a new model. It's like deciding whether to keep the leftovers, return the plate, or order something new. For a deeper dive into PCP and its end-of-term options, check out https://carplus.co.uk/car-finance/pcp/

Changed from the American Racing Outlaw to Raceline Boost wheels. Went from 0 offset to +35 to bring the 35x12.50’s back under the fender. I like a little poke but the 0 offset had the tires about 3” outside the rear fender and they were too far out for my liking.

Am I going crazy but why does the Baja Boss AT's look like the MT's?
