|  My little blue heep
Finally got a chance to start dinking around with this. Needs shorter shocks. But here it is on 1.55 growlers. 10 1/2" wb, thinking of moving front axle back about 1/2" need to get it down a little. What do you guys think? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk |

Which body is that? It's hard to tell if its a New Bright or the much larger HPI body. I think with those tires the body should be more intact. The Growlers look a little more like an All Terrain. Especially on those wheels. I just mounted a set of Growlers to GearHead UTE wheels with the 24 hole bead lock rings, Makes for a bit more aggressive combo. They are going on my comp cut TJ for now.

It's a hard body. Not sure what brand. I'm not positive the growlers are staying on yet. I've got some 1.55 slingers also. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk |

Agree with you on the ride height and front axle move. With those changes and the 1.55s, killer scale look!

Well I think I have a wheelbase I'm happy with. And did a little trimming to fit the Trans. Also the 80mm shocks got it sitting a little lower. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk |
