Tread Ripper
I've liked the Tread Ripper since it was released despite its flaws. Having one I figured I give a shot at fixing them. I added a window to the center area of the roll bar, as well as mesh. For the front I tried a lot of different options before deciding on using the mesh there as well. Since I've finished it I've already come up with several improvements and will be making them over the next week or two so expect to see this again.

I never liked the Thread Ripper, but your custom really changed my mind. The cage is a great idea. Amazing how a little TLC turns these vehicles around. Great Job!

I reprinted mine in better colors. Now you're making me want to completely start over.

Looks a little better, the design for this vehicle is still beyond flawed by Hasbro compared to the actual vehicle they used in the show. The mesh works. Just not enough for me to be inspired to repeat it on this vehicle.
Good job on it though. Best idea I have seen to try and make it work.
