So I made some tubbies and they actually turned out great! except I found out you cant use gel-coat with epoxy resin it doesn't bond very well, Along the edges the gel-coat chipped off but im going to install them and repair the gel-coat after, wont be able to even tell
So I didn't notice when I popped my tubbies out of the molds that one of the mods had twisted a little, when I tried to install them one side worked great! and the other not so much, couldn't get it to fit properly, So I'm on the fence about abandoning the tubbie idea, I'm really not to enthused about making another mold...maybe in the future, But Ive been thinking lately next year I'm going to need a aftermarket hull

your getting a new one next year anyways.
So after lots of sanding to remove my tubbies, I primed a painted the sides then I went to throw my decal on and they sent me the wrong color!! I didnt notice until I actually put the decal on the one side, which color do you think looks better, I photo shopped the real one to the color I ordered

Awesome man, that head is sick! I'm doing a similar build on my SJ. I bought a DASA big bore with 44's and ATP Epic. I'm also installing an Xmetal trim, and planning on cutting 2" off the rear. Hopefully going to get started here in a couple weeks.
I look forward to following your build. Make sure to keep posting pics!
So I've pretty much got my trim in today, With the X-Metal trim I had to remove the locking nut on the trim trigger so I could get enough slack in the cable I really don't like how much lack of "adjustment" there is with this set-up, The steering cable barrel is pretty much at the end of the trim cable.
Any thoughts on how I mounted the steering cable to the nozzle and the cable slightly binds when the trim is pulled and I turn the the left, Think its an issue?

huh, did you fix that steering cable, you may want to open up the connector and push the cable thru a bunch and pinch that back together with the sleeve it mounts into. what is your cable binding on? i would grind anything in the way so it works. cables are expensive and a pain to swap out. where do you live and do who do you ride with?
I finished for the night, the cable is not even a year old so I would be surprised if it was broken but I wasn't sure, The part that's binding you can see in the picture in post #51, I live in western Canada ride with xj crawler 99% of the time, there is about 15 of us that I know of in the area
I got the rest today! If you Notice me cases match the head Ive ordered
And My Back flip button
I'm hoping to get it assembled this weekend the only thing I'm waiting for is my ADA head, should be here Friday, If I do I'm going to rig up a stand and test fire it out of the hull just to make it easier to switch flywheels and correct the timing, My issue is nobody has run the jetnettics flywheel with the Epic yet, So I'm not sure if its going to work....and yes I will be hooking the motor up to water

This is a picture of me steering cable... Is it broken? Or did it just slip out?
It's not supposed to do that.
I'd get a new cable.

Just shot Chris a PM.... only got a season outta the dam thing!
How far in can I get away with, before i start risking breaking something for the quick steer mod on the nozzle?

Just got Jetmaniac's beefy steering cable swapped it today, After I pulled the old cable out my old one just popped back together and its as good as new....oh well, never hurts to have a back up cable, Here is a picture of my JSS order, looks super sexy!!
