The bumper arrived yesterday and looks great. I am going to play with it this weekend and see how it will go. I am also trying to find who make the visor on the globe picture you attached?

Thanks
Chris

Fenders were purchased off the bay. They look awesome but IMO I noticed one minor drawback. They come with bezels to mount 3 x 5mm LED's at the bottom of each fender but there is almost no room there to do the LED wiring. I will not be adding LED's to the bottom of these.

looks good and you make me want a globe over my KH that i started.

Looks like an awesome start to a great build!! The stock to custom ratio is spot on, cant wait for more updates!! Keep up the good work!

[tamkyo]

Slow progress due to the fact that I am waiting for parts to arrive;

So below are a few of pics of the second tanks having been installed and I added a trailer line pole to hold the cables for the trailers brakes and lights.... mostly lights though lol







Next I need to mount the knight hauler control box across the back for the MFU.

Where did you get your "trailer line pole"? I've never seen one like this. Very unique!

I used some parts from boxes I had laying around. The pole is probably a bell crank steering post and the little spring at the top is from a nitro kit, used to hold the pull start handle against the engine block.

Hey guys..... a quick question.... I am going to add a few LED's here and there. I have heard horror stories about adding aftermarket LED's and connecting to them to the Tamiya MFU? Has anyone wired in aftermarket LED's into your Tamiya MFU without issue? Or do you only add Tamiya LEDs to the MFU?

If you have used aftermarket LEDs where did you purchase the LEDS?

Thanks guys

Some more small update as parts arrive.

Center drive shaft is mounted;

[tamkyo]

Rear control box ( tool box ) mounted;

[tamkyo]

Thus far I have mounted the square style bumper. Next I am going to mount Steves rounded corner bumper and then choose which I like best;

[bigpipespete]

Nice build , that bumper looks good only thing you need to do is move that axle forward.

your gonna love steves bumper, I have them on both of my globes
