|  Jeep Wrangler YJ....
I decided to do a build for the new wrangler body coming out. it will be a leaf sprung chassis and follow all the curves of the real chassis. the chassis is made out of 1/4" alum and has a c-channel as well. going to run a rc4wd tranfer case and use a axial tranny to power it. here are a couple of shots do far....      |

i say paint the tlt's black; that way when they get scratched the silver will show through just like it would on a 1:1

I'm dying to see how the body looks on it, and with those tires. Awesome frame!

Looks like a good start! Tires are very large. Mud thrashers look better |

I'm new to this and I'm starting to plan a scale jeep build. I'm really curious where you guys are getting the bodies from? Ebay? I've seen a few of the tamyia jeeps but they are 400.00-500.00 is there another source?
