I've wanted to do a K2-3S build-up with a Wrangler for a long time. This should be good!  |

some poser shots with the body finally mounted, i tried the crushers and they looked overly huge! just added a light bar but ran out of 1/8 rods so the lights will have to chill for now

Slingers look good tho, the ride height is nice. Maybe some of the new RC4wd scale claws will be out? You gonna repaint the body?
