Ok I haven't posted much as of late. New job has me away from my home more than I like. But when I stumbled upon this I thought that it should be shared. http://duster132.deviantart.com/gallery/ This is not my work but it is very impressive. If you look at the link, there are some vehicles...

The wheels and tires are from 2 8" John Deere monster tread combines. The wheel covers off the rolling thunder fit right into the new wheels so I just glued them in place to give them an original look. The winches are 1:10 scale off road rc winches from 3racing. They are fully functional. I have...

Sneak peak! More to come later this week.

Winches mounted!!! That is all.

Fenders finished. Got my rc winches in today. Spending the evening mocking up the mounting of the winches and the dual line spreader at the end of the boom. I know my table is a mess. But I know where everything is.

Not that I am ready to paint it yet but I am a little conflicted on woodland vs tan paint. Any suggestions?

This is what I have accomplished in the short time I have got to work on the REAPer. Removed the fender/weapon stations. Going to make updated fenders with storage boxes and a spare tire mount. Also beginning to modify the crane to make it dual line. Ordered some rc winches to make it playable...

A lot of the MRAPs are longer like buses. These are mostly used for the infantry to transport them into a certain area safely to strata dismounted patrol. The smaller ones like your vaMRAP are more for convoy security and armored escort duties.

I like the way you did those hinges on the doors. They look better then mine for sure. Great job on this man. Wicked!

Gonna be sick man!

Sorry guys, no progress. This past week, I took the family on vacation to Disney. I wanted to take my stuff with me but the wife wouldn't let me. :( We got back Monday and between unpacking and running all of the errands I haven't had much time with it. May get a chance to get back to it tonight.

It may be sexy, but it is a pain in the ass. I did more cussing the last few days than I have in a while. It takes patience and a little imagination. And if you don't have an imagination, try to remember how thing look and go together.

Here is a closer shot of the ramps. The left one has shovels, sledge hammers, bolt cutters, and an ax up top. The bottom box on left has 4 long and 2 short chains. The ramp on the left has all the different tow adapters, risers, and spacers. The door has not been installed on it yet to show...

Here is what I have been working on. Framed up the big ugly windows. Gonna end up painting the frame and the lower portion of the clear parts. I have taken both of the ramps and turned the unused space into storage. The one has two boxes for chains and tools. The other ramp has one big door...

So between VA appointments and everything else this week, I haven't done much work on the REAPer as I am calling it now. Gonna do a bit tonight. Can't sleep so might as well.

Well I was a mechanic and ran a M984A2R1 HEMTT wrecker for a lil over 12 years in the Army. I seen all of these joe vehicles and thought that "by god they need a dedicated mechanic and recovery vehicle!!!" So this is what I have came up with. I need to name it. For old times sake, we have a...

I hear what you are saying HJ. I didn't know where to start either. Have had the pieces for a long time and I kept looking at it and figuring what would go where. When I finally started on it, I found the first part I knew I would have to reuse and I just cut it. No turning back at that...

This is a shot of the underlift.
