Axial SCX24 Scale Build - Jeep Gladiator Rubicon Replica Build Part 1!!

In this video I kick off my Axial SCX24 scale build with the goal of building a replica of my 1:1 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon! Building on the scx24 budget build, I add some scale accessories to match my big Jeep. I celebrate the one year anniversary of purchasing my first Axial scx24 by revisiting the spot I first unboxed that rig. I got some great crawling and trail run footage while I was there. Phase 2 will come soon with more scale details. Stay tuned as we close the gap between the scx24 and the real Jeep JT!

Now i want to see crawling footage with the big one. Or next a real life replica of snaggletooth.

Also, your actual Jeep is sick, as well as the wheels on both are ridiculous! Keep it up Adam, a blue Jeep scx24 is my next build, great looking.

very cool video! I've had my eye on a Tamiya Mustang GT4 kit that I want to paint exactly like my GT350 😅

Flip the racks around and you will have the jack in the same spot and the sand ladders will fit on the other side, also get rearview mirrors 💪
Happy anniversary

[Wayfinder_JT]

Awesome job Adam! That’s a damn near perfect replica.

First notice, and or opinion. Actually like the black fenders.

Hi, Just started following your channel . Love your work, and love the Cape . We live in Ohio . Stayed in Dennis for a week a few years ago, and enjoyed a Lobster Roll at Sesuit Harbor Cafe . Great job on the mini Gladiator . Keep the cool builds coming .

[outcastrc]

Nice adds! Really coming together for you. I chose the full size front bumper from Club 5 for my Gladiator and it fits and looks great as well!

[DustinWoloschuk]

Great video!!! Well done!!! You did a great job of portraying the love and nostalgia through your video. I felt like I could literally feel it right along with you.

You've come a long way onn just one year. Congratulations and happy anniversary!!!

[dorkis]

I have so been waiting for this! I am pursuing the exact same goal with my gladiator and I'm so excited to see someone not maxing theirs out with unrealistic suspensions!

[claytonjessup]

[Gibsonlife]

Bro man you come a long way since I've been watching you I want to go from 14016 thousands of drivers in like 2 months 3 months

[CrawlerTrax]

One of your best videos to date! Keep it up Adam!

[gatorrcgames]

Awesome video man. Always fun to do a 1 to 1 build with your real car and a rc. I did a 1 to build with my chevy Colorado zr2 and my dodge challenger.

Adam💪 I have a 2018 JKUR. Lifted on 37’s. It’s black with a twill trek top, winch etc. it’s a beast. I wish I could find a 24th scale JKU like mine. This video was awesome. Keep up the good work bro. Looking forward to the next stage 😎💪👊

[makoskid]

Great video as always. My Axial JLU matches my JKU pretty much as well.
