[@matk4731]

Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

[@turksandjerps]

Will do thanks!

[@meirdeaph]

I definitely get hype loud an cheerie seeing how u get your trucks together!

[@turksandjerps]

That’s encouraging!

[@rascalracing4428]

Thanks for the update. Nice work! Looks promising!

[@turksandjerps]

You’re welcome and thank you for watching

[@carloshnunez]

The crew cab looks great, for the 58 chevy you can extend the original bed 🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks for watching

[@flintTC]

Nice to see the progress of some of your projects.

[@turksandjerps]

Hopefully this motivates me to finish them so I can start others

[@jamesmagmer8929]

I like this kind of content, please continue! Thank you

[@turksandjerps]

Glad to hear it!

[@robbinthehood94]

Looking really forward to the mini me!

[@turksandjerps]

Me too. Spent a fair bit of time this summer working on the big one so it took away from the mini.

[@44punisherable]

Love the work you're doing as well and definitely do some wonky thing with the fms Apache!

[@turksandjerps]

Wonky is my middle name!

[@plukensteinpaint]

Cool things. I’m inspired.

[@turksandjerps]

Happy to hear that

[@smallfact0ry921]

Rumor has it the upcoming trail finder 4 will have a trailer with the steering servo mounted on it. There will be a long series of plastic wobbly bits to connect to the front wheels.

[@turksandjerps]

I saw a leaked photo and the tires are new old stock 1.9 Rock Stompers and the trailer has an aluminum Fracture V8

[@alexvernyi2368]

That 3d printed frame will be neat. I 3d printed the frame for my halftrack project, but as a box, not c channel.

[@turksandjerps]

Cool! Mine will definitely need some metal bits especially where the printed pieces connect.

[@evintacy7272]

I can’t wait see 60 series done sir! No way you are way to awesome and talented not put awesome content out! Can’t wait see what you build for the build off with Matt and Harley 🤘🏻💯🤩😎

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks! I appreciate that. I’d say I have the biggest disadvantage in this build off for a few reasons. If anything mine will be humorous.

[@fredrieger5226]

Ya, keep doing videos, some great stuff on this one, great ideas and tips. Can't wait for the FJ60, I had a new one in 1980!

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks. And oh wow! I bet that was something!

[@Pauly_______]

Put some stars on the blue apache 👍 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@michaelhoyle3266]

This was cool. Thanks for showing us the works in progress. Hope you can stay inspired to keep making videos.

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks for watching. I have my moments of defeat sometimes

[@davidburke5686]

Love this, great to hear and see what you have been up to or not up to, keep them coming

[@turksandjerps]

The next episode is the same trucks in the same state of incompletion.

[@davidburke5686]

@@turksandjerps we all have plenty of them I’m sure.

[@rcpete7055]

New Subscriber here bud👍😊 don't know how I've not come across u before 🙄 been with rcsparks since 2011.. I do all the same stuff you do or similar 👍

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks for subscribing better late than never!

[@donniecaudill7026]

I have an idea for the 4x4 Apache, since you're so great with those custom one off designs how about making the bed with 57 Chevy sides? I know in the late 50's Dodge made what they called a "Sweptside" truck and I think they look awesome.

[@turksandjerps]

That would be cool but my curiosity about using the K10 bed got the best of me. Plus it used spare parts I had

[@RDMcK22]

JIP is a good idea. Really interested in how the printed frame will turn out. Trucks of that era had frames made of wet noodle, it will look very realistic on the trail.

[@turksandjerps]

Wet noodle and rust

[@fdougwillman132]

Nice work. Do you prefer ‘mad scientist’ or ‘evil genius’ ?

[@turksandjerps]

I prefer señor ding dong

[@713Ace529]

Not digging the 6x6 either but what you have transformed looks good. 👍

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks

[@toddanderson1506]

Great video, do you think an apache cab would fit on the k10 chassis?

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks, and I believe it should fit. Looks like all of the mounting points are the same.

[@TheTsunamilongboards]

What printer do you use for your 3-D prints? would you be able to do a video showing your print layout or set up, maybe a time lapse of you printing a body? Would love to see what support you use and your parent orientation and settings!

[@turksandjerps]

I have the Prusa M3KSiMK whatever it is. I could probably throw that on the next Jerps in Progress episode.

[@_Sphaxz_]

Seeing how those printed frame rails work out will be real interesting

[@turksandjerps]

For sure and will probably be a failure but I have to try

[@TCnML]

Without having the 6x6 to look at in person I’m wondering, could the stock bed be cutdown to fit a single rear tire?

[@turksandjerps]

It could but would be very short.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I do not accept your apology, and those corn muffins were lousy.

[@turksandjerps]

Make me!

[@toadady]

More cats ,less giraffes .

[@turksandjerps]

Giraffes are basically large cats.

[@fezzolare]

why??????????? the way you set up your TF3 was bad ass with the 3 front bumpers and body lift not to mention the cool smaller tire and wheel set-up

[@turksandjerps]

I hope the TF4 has four bumpers

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Liked the show but it would be a lot cooler if the FJ was on my bench and not yours.

[@turksandjerps]

We have have that arranged, you can have it on your bench to sand it and then send it back to me thanks!!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

@@turksandjerps it’s as easy as that? Deal!

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Yep, you should probably stop making videos. But only after you’ve finished all your trucks and sent them to me for making running videos on my channel. JK. Just finish all the trucks and send them to me but still make videos of more trucks afterwards. I’m looking forward to seeing the 60 series when it’s complete. That’s looking mint. Surprised you didn’t turn the new FMS into to a stake body bed. Why did FMS do this 6x6 thing? Did they think it was going to really move more units? Kind of a flop.

[@turksandjerps]

I’ll stop making videos and send you all of my incomplete trucks glued together. I wanted to go a few directions with the Apache and stake bed was one of them. I didn’t want to do a lot of fabricating on it and waste time instead I’m doing more detailed paint to it.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

@@turksandjerps the paint looked awesome. Saw that on Insta. What would you call all of the trucks glued together? A la STUBurban, but like six trucks deep?

[@Hjerte_Verke]

Maybe some enterprising young fellow can 3D print a 1959 Chevy Apache stepside or Fleetside bed and make this thing not so hideous? Hideous being the 6x6 stock config.

[@turksandjerps]

I thought briefly about designing a fleet side bed for it then figured there wouldn’t be much return on time invested

[@ridgerc5976]

I don't think the TF3 even qualifies to be considered a pierce of junk it's that bad. How does one enter your crew cab giveaway?

[@turksandjerps]

I’d say it’s several pieces of junk combined to make a single piece of junk. The giveaway will be on my Instagram and will be a simple like and comment type of thing. (When finished)

[@ridgerc5976]

I hear ya. Lol. I had never owned any RC4WD trucks until recently. I bought the C2X and after changing all the electronics and tires and foams, it's not a bad truck at all.

[@stringsattached67]

Is the tf3 junk ?

[@turksandjerps]

Yes!

[@fdougwillman132]

Talk about click bait. I watched this twice. No Jerps only Turks.

[@turksandjerps]

I baited, you clicked twice. I win,

[@44punisherable]

So if everyone does 3d printing...does that mean you have to have a "made in China" sticker on it? Everything's plastic, so fantastic lol. Seriously what's so wrong with metal?

[@turksandjerps]

Nothing is wrong with metal. It’s my favorite kind of music.
