I'll do a brief step by step in my making of a YJ from scratch this project started years ago, and then I scrapped most of what I made, and restarted. I'll break it up into separate posts to make it easier to navigate I originally meant to make this as I was making it, but well I got caught up in working on it, and forgot >.> I'm a little absent minded like that.

The base of the vehicle is a frankensteined SCX10, and HPI wheely king I made
Here is an old picture(and what I started with)





It has an Axial SCX10 frame a wheely King transmission, and axles, and at this time Wheely king shocks, and a pile of custom made 3d parts I designed along with custom made links. The driveshafts, and connectors to the axles are traxxas(I forgot the part number as I started this 10 years ago).
Then 6-7 years ago I found a YJ body file someone made, printed it(I had to do it in 6 parts due to how it was made), and honestly hated it... I threw it on a shelf after making it, and forgot about it. I don't have any pictures of it as I hated it so much, and honestly it was so poorly assembled it actually fell apart when I threw it in the trash.
