TFchronos Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Awesome build, nice work on the tire chains!
Brizio Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 Thank you guys!!! I added the rear view mirror, because I forgot it... I'm getting old... Also added the tensioners on the chains. @Tony66, here some action... My dogs always test my models, I think the test passed.
Erik Smith Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Haha. The golden looks so enthused! I have a boxer that would like to "play" with my stuff...
Brizio Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 LOL! My Golden is very helpful to find piece that fly around the room, and he return them to me all chewed...
unclescott58 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Wow! Is that nice! Beautiful. Too beautiful to use in the snow. Is that the old MPC kit that came with the half cab and plow? I sure wish they would reissue that kit with those parts put back in. Scott

It is a fun kit to build!
espo Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Great looking build, and I love your puppies. FYI on the spring tensioners, They were usually made of a black rubber band about a 1/4" in diameter with small metal hooks that you could slide around to hook onto the side links on the tire chains. This would help to keep the chains from moving around when you were driving or spinning your tires. It also kept them from dropping off on the inside of the tire and getting wrapped around you axles. I used to live in the San Bernardino National Forest at about 5000 ft. in Socal. My fingers are just now getting their feeling back. You might look at your wife's sewing kit for some black thread to use.
Filter Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 awesome work! this is so beautiful... i want it! the wheels look so good, do they came with the Kit or are they aftermarket?
Brizio Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Thank you all guys! @David, Thanks, I already made the spring tensioners, but it does not shows in the lap picture with the dog. Too close/blurry. @Filter, the wheels are stock. But the tires are modified. I made them bigger, the one in the kit are too small and they don't looks good in my opinion. Also the hub lock on the front wheels is scratch built, the one in the kit is too small. Danke!
gatorincebu Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Cool build. You did a real nice job on it. Be Well Gator
DumpyDan Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Great job on the Jeep, now get out there and plow, if only
