Very nice! Are there any plans for the motor?

Exquisite build!

Looking Awesome, Well Done

You did some amazing work there. Did you begin with the kit and then collect parts over time? I have a gently used BJ4WE missing the center differential (which I'm unsure what to do with). I also have a NIB for which I did an unboxing here. Your project was nice to see!

Good luck

I ordered some custom colored XX4 decals from MCI. There are some small printing mistakes, but otherwise I think they look great. The chrome doesn't show in the pictures too well.

I am still trying to decide on paint for this car.
