[Tamiya Cowboy]

Yep the title is right but I do like this jeep. I have been working on this on and off for a couple of years now it is a good buddy of mine and he has put alot into it it is a really good little crawler..

So I have built the stock axles then changed both axles in it with him put in the Uni Body stiffeners on it it has a 6 inch super flex lift with the 3 member and long arm conversion on it it is now running 35 inch rubber so now it is time for new bumpers and body panel mods so here are some picks of the rear panel mods..

So opened the wheel wells 6 inches so now we have to get the inner fender well and rear panel back together. So to do this I welded 3/8 rod on the panel then welded the inner fender well to that..


Now had to redo the lower part of the rear panel now this he does not want to come down strength like when it was stock he wants this angled back up and also made out of thicker metal. Now for the metal I went with 10ga.
Before

Now with the inner panel using the break to make the bends to match.

Now with the outer panel..

And with the 3/8 rod covering the end and all welded in..



He is getting ready for another trip in 3 weeks so next weekend Ill finish the welding on the passenger side that finish all the driver side and then a little body work and bed liner..
