NIB Sealed Original 1989 JRX2 Build Thread

[huminski]

Nice! However this is no laughing matter. I already have plenty of socks. This is useless to me.

[Coelacanth]

Well to be fair, huminski, you *did* mention on page 2 that this thread started out as a joke.

Socks or rocks, which would've been better?

[huminski]

Between the two, I would take the socks over the rocks. Unless the rocks are like diamonds or something. Then the rocks. All other forseeable scenarios, the socks.

Life is like a box of socklets - You never know what You´re going to get

All at once I was horrified and thrilled. And then it hit me, I can finally silence all those bozos on 10talk that said it was probably just full of rocks.

So I opened up.

And turns out the guys were right. But it wasn't rocks.

Not a box of rocks....... IT WAS A BOX OF SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so pissed right now...............

[huminski]

So a couple of you have been pm'ing me like little school girls asking me all kinds of interesting questions. Don't worry, I get it lol.

One of you really summed up my feelings on opening this box up..... thank you for that.

Without further delay, no, it was not in fact a box of socks.

I lifted the top off the box, placed it down, and snapped this pic. Exactly as it looked when opened.

Wheels are the version I wanted. Orange orange. Not light orange. Not red orange. Orange orange. First thing I looked at when the cover came off. So happy.

The transmission plate is a no-stamp! Could not believe it.

The rear shock tower is the solid version.

Metal outdrive spacers.

Two-hole rear shock 5-link sections.

Perfect condition, no rust, no water damage, no nothing. Everything is here, and perfect.

Manual is 800-0001 Rev A.

I feel a peace now knowing exactly what was in there.

Am pretty certain that I will not open this one any further at this point.

But hey....... you never know.

[huminski]

One more shot, here is the entire kit laid out.

Such an awesome feeling to be able to see and hold all this untouched history.

[Charlie don't surf]

Nice!!!!!!! That's awesome

[GoMachV]

Very cool! Now you know....and knowing is half the battle!

[Diamond Dave]

I like it, Alot!!!! Very cool!

[Charlie don't surf]

Up-close chassis pics!!!

[JPAE07]

Enough of the JRX-blah blah blah....

Now how about more pics of the socks.
Will you put them in the BST? I'll take a pair as long as they are new and fresh.

[License2iLL]

I can't believe you exposed all that to this low quality air. Those manuals are already turning yellow.

How dare you ?

It was your duty to protect this rare gem.

When you broke through the plastic you broke the enchantment.

May the old losi gods have mercy on you.

[uniquenamehere]

Awesome!

Now build it... DO IT!
