Ice,

Nice play on words.. Flame Me! lol. Everybody just flame down a little. I'm including some pics of the paint process as well. Everything Blue, Silver, and Black is paint. Also took the Light bar off the summit and added it to the look.

**rcbear** · 03-16-2009 10:47 AM

**Armor11** · 03-16-2009 11:33 AM

Just gettin interested in the Summit, that is a cool looking Rubicon!

**dirtrider0587** · 03-16-2009 01:41 PM

thats awesome i want one

**SLASHPEDE** · 03-16-2009 07:43 PM

lol ... C-YA.. nice paint, gona look good with the scale stuff

**Corrijo** · 03-16-2009 08:19 PM

Here's the scale stuff I promised. Took some cutting to the Utility Cage to make it fit and some drilled holes in the body and Boxes to zip tie everything down. Thougth about the baby bungee idea but wasn't clean enough for my taste. Tell Me what you think

Slashpede! You should Dig This! All together the scale stuff is as follows.
Scale Utility Cage(heavily modified), Cooler, Strap Box, Gas Can, Shovel, Hoe, Axe, and Tire Jack on the back bumper.

**umc** · 03-16-2009 08:24 PM

That's awesome.

One Question.

How long until you break all of that off of there.

**Corrijo** · 03-16-2009 08:27 PM

Lol. i'm a pretty good driver so minus the accidental high speed rollovers, i should be good.

**icepick832** · 03-16-2009 09:05 PM

Looking good man. Yeah, the baby bungee's are bit out of scale, but I couldnt resist....lol. Gives it the look of actually being held in place. I like the mods you did to get it off the rook, and on the back. To me, this is what the hobby is about, and I dont mean just going scale. Its the creative things we can think of to either modify,trick, make faster, basically, personalize our vehicles to suit our own taste, and not just be part of the cattle drive, following the rest of the heard.

Thanks Ice,

I'm in total agreement with you about the need to not be like every other "summit" out there. Not to say anythings wrong with that, cuz if you bought a summit, you're cool! Personal Interpretation's are exactly whats grown this hobby to where it is today, and i'm just trying to show folks that anythings possible. Like it or not.

**morguester** · 03-16-2009 09:59 PM

Looks really authentic. The only upgrade I'd do is turn the axe so the axe blade is point down. (just poking fun) You did a remarkable job. I wish I had the skill, time, and budget for that kind of work!

**Gregarious76** · 03-16-2009 10:52 PM

I like the bumper jack. That's classic! Are you going to have functioning lights in the roof rack?

**SLASHPEDE** · 03-16-2009 11:08 PM

man you know i dig that!! good job man, il always be a sucker for some form of scale

it would look good with some smaller tires on it IMO

**freakgreek** · 03-16-2009 11:47 PM

CORRIJO That looks awesome doing a great job.Looks like your a fan of the Jeep Rubicon.I was going do a new body but the only one i can find is the Rubicon and did not want copy.I order my Kershaw design the same set up as yours so doing a body??

**rcbear** · 03-17-2009 12:00 AM

awe mang! i love it! i especially love the detail on the windows. really looks like a soft window folded down.

but where are you gonna mount the spare tire and compressor?

Just Overcompensating!!!

At least that's what the old lady say's! lol lol lol

Gregarious: Not sure. the stock one's are pretty bright! It's a possibility.

**DrSkull** · 03-17-2009 12:17 AM

Very Very nice !!!

**Koko** · 03-17-2009 06:48 AM

I have to admit, I didn't care for the first Jeep body on the Summit. But I do like this one! Nice work.

**icepick832** · 03-17-2009 07:22 AM

I say,for the light bar, just paint them yellow, and put smiley (or paint them) stickers on them

**Corrijo** · 03-24-2009 09:39 PM

Caved in and bought some lights. We'll have to see where they go. I'll post pics upon completion.

**eemmaaxxxx** · 03-25-2009 12:16 PM

Health and safety man! That axe blade should be pointing downwards

Unfortunately morguester got there before I did

. LOL. That's the only mod I would do too. Other than that, it is fantastic. Liking the scale accesories.

**kscherer3153** · 03-25-2009 12:55 PM

Looks great Corrijo I like the originality to your Summit I have another body coming too (Proline Slipstream) I cant wait to paint it and put it on. I will do the same thing show a step by step on what I did to paint it on my thread. I love the scale accessories they definately add character to your truck. Just be careful with the high speed rollovers the axe could come off and hit someone......

..........

**Corrijo** · 03-25-2009 08:31 PM

Lol Guy's. After a couple posts, i turned it around. so the blade is facing down. Actually, after a good wheelie, i busted the top half of the scale cage off and had to do some re-arranging. I'll post pics of the new setup at some point. Probably after i get the lights installed. I'm thinkin two in the headlights of the rubicon, two in the light bar and the two red in the taillights. Aughta be pretty cool.

**Corrijo** · 03-27-2009 07:21 PM

Ebay is great! The USPS sux right now. I have confirmations on shipping last friday. Got some shock covers for a 1.50 and replacement stock A-arms front and rear for .99 I love ebay! I'm fittin to go Postal up in this (*^%$!
C'mon mailman, quit suckin down Guiness at the bar down the street!!

Due to the lack of delivery from the boys in blue, Going to the lake! Pulled out the Sea doo and takin the Summit. I'll be sure to get some sicc action pics to post. Roseville is like 85 all weekend. Water's gonna be Coooooooooooooooooooold.

**kscherer3153** · 03-27-2009 07:53 PM

Hey Corrijo I just noticed that you are in Roseville I have family that lives in Yuba City and Auburn. I think I will be going up that way sometime soon and if I do I am going to bring the Summit.

Let me know! We'll meet up somewhere and bash. i'd like to see a brushless in person! PM me when you make it out this way. I have family in Auburn as well.

**yamahaboy02** · 03-28-2009 06:57 PM

Just bought me a Rubicon Body for my summit also, and im going to also make it fit my Duratrax RT-X27. It will be my show body for both my trucks, got me some bob dively liquid masking, Blue Streak and Sprint White Pactra Racing Finish paint for my colors. Hopefully it turns out pretty cool and I will post some pic while I'm in the process of painting it! Wish Me Luck!

**yamahaboy02** · 03-29-2009 06:58 PM

This my Rubicon Body!

**Corrijo** · 03-29-2009 11:56 PM

That's very cool. i like the stripes. You did that with that peel away mask?

**yamahaboy02** · 03-30-2009 03:21 AM

Yep, I just wanted to try liquid masking film just to test it! They say to spray it on but I brushed it on, I put two coats on but I would recommend if you brush it on do at least 3 coats but you don't want to put it on very thick so I've heard buy squirl on you tube! I would highly recommend it for any applications because it works really good, rather then have to fuss with paper masking tape!

Hopefully my next body I do will look professional!

**Jefferson1964** · 03-30-2009 10:56 AM

Both of those are very nice.........
