Mechwarrior mods

[MrFixIt]

My current Wrangler is WARHAMMER. It’s MY favorite mech from the game Mechwarrior I played when I was around 10. So I decided to setup my Jeep in that fashion. I have a 2020 JLU in granite. 2.5” teraflex coils. Fox shocks. 35” tires. The “norm” for most of us. But I have made my own mods for the Mech feel. Interior has two flight sticks. One is for my transfer case, one is for fun. Replaced center button on transmission shifter. Mounted ammo cans inside for storage. 3D printer a “target” screen. Made missile launchers for bumper. Currently working on dual mini guns in place of fog lights. Just curious if there is others like me who build/fabricate for personal image?

So 3D printing has really become my current obsession. I am told I have a problem….

Definitely a different concept, but I like how it’s not overdone. Nicely executed.

However, I have one grip about your side decal. Clearly you are unaware that you could have replaced the two black hawks with one chinook. That’s a waste of resources?. Otherwise rock on! ?

I wanted to include all equipment I have driven. So I decided to create a nice convoy. When I made the decal, I really only wanted a HEMTT wrecker, and an M88A2 but I decided to put some old equipment with more modern to just give a convoy with air support. The Blackhawk is med support.

I'm a 3D printer as well, currently assembling a Prusa XL. Seems like I print a lot of upgrade parts for my printers. I've also printed a lot of other objects, mostly replacement parts for things and some of my own designs.
I'm amazed at what they're printing in the Fosscad sub Reddit!

Mechwarrior 2, first video game for the PC that I ever owned. Played it on an old IBM Aptiva desktop that we bought at circuit city when I was in 11th grade.

Yes mw2 on pc was first game I remember playing as a kid. Thought it was awesome. Looking back graphics were horrible but I thought they were awesome as a kid

Lol, no worries. If you didn’t guess, I’m a hooker (Chinook pilot). So as I scanned across and saw no love for arguably the best helicopter ever produced, I felt an obligation to give you a hard time, all in good fun?.

I attached some pics so you could see how sexy an aircraft she is, and why it’s a shame you excluded her.

Trust me I get it.

Hopefully the video loaded!

I am working on ideas. I currently have “made” my mini guns for the front bumper. I am open to ideas…..

 

[MrFixIt]

Here are mini guns. Again just for fun. Since being medically retired from Army, I miss running the ranges.

So correction. I didnt play Mechwarrior 2. I played the original Mechwarrior (1989) I was 10 and this game was awesome for me.

That's really cool, and the 3d prints look so real.

Remind me of a WWII Themed Jeep that was built for SEMA in 2014 by Hauk Designs.
