Got a TF2 SWB a little while ago when RC4WD was having a sale. I was going to put a Wrangler body on it, but then I decided to do a project I've been rolling around my head for some time now.

I started with the Tamiya Bronco body, cut the top off and started a styrene half cab. Then, I modified the TF2 with a set of the original machined K44's with the 3:1 gearing. I had them waiting in the wings to do this build with them. I converted the front to a 3-link/panhard set up, just like the 1:1, and kept the leafs in the back but had to do some shock work. Still needs some tweeking, but it works for now.

I'm planning a full interior including the bed area. This will also be getting a second Bronco body with a full cab and some off-road bumpers and other things.

The rims and tires were also modified to fit the bill.

All I have is a single pic for now...enjoy.
