Default Land Rover 3 build

I've had this body for awhile now. Finally decided it was time to do something with it. So I tore apart my Power Wagon, and used the chassis and axles for the Land Rover. Still have some suspension tuning to do. Specs and pics:

TLT axles
Pede tranny
K2-5l chassis (shortened to fit the body)
3 Racing MLST shocks
RC4WD Mojave 1.9 beadlocks
RC4WD 1.9 Rock Creeper tires

Thanks Tomcat. I had to bring the wheel base down from 12.25" to 10.5". Didn't mean to take it all from the rear, but that's how it seems to have worked out.

Not sure yet. Would like to do up some bumpers at least. Just hard to do with these bodies.

Here's some quick pics. It's running under its own power now. Still needs some suspension tuning, painting of the frame, and some body trimming, but works pretty good so far. Pics:
