WPL C74 JA11 Jimny Makeover - Because I Can’t Leave Them Stock

Follow
That Tiny Truck Guy

Here is one of the most recent releases from WPL, and it is a neat one.
Myself however can not leave my tiny trucks stock, I therefore went and stripped the chassis down to then build upon it.

One of the main things I changed was the transmission as the WPL 2 Speed is by far my favourite transmission in their lineup, not to mention the second gear will allow this little SJ to have a sufficient top end for trail runs.

Another part of the chassis which was changed was the axle set, the included factory plastic axles were replaced with the WPL metal axle kit for improved steering angle as well as added weight down low.

While installing the new axles, I also installed the WPL Shock Absorbers to aid the leaf springs and dampen the suspension. These were mounted to the axles using the WPL Brass Ball Ends.

Upon installing the axles I mounted up an antiwrap bar using the 59mm WPL links and Rod Ends to lessen the stress on the leaf springs.

I wanted to go for a more modified look and therefore looked at replacing the bulky factory bumper. In place of the factory example went this High Clearance Front Bumper which was originally designed for the C54, all it needed to be bolted up was a little bracket.

After all of the chassis work, I dressed this little SJ up with various Tamiya paints as well as some wooden planking.

And there it is, a very neat little truck, packed with tons of scale detail for a great price.
