Nice build!
I used the same body on an L-trail chassis and double shortened TLT axles. It made the dump bed sit back 2" from the cab. I filled it with a wire basket holding spare tires. Caught some grief for how it looked. Made the bed a dump bed with servo activation.
I am thinking about going with some 1.55 wheels and tires over the 1.9s I have now.

Keep going with it!!

1.5"s would look much better for this scale.

The little Pajero is an Audley 4x4. It is 4wd but not RC. It's a copy of the Tamiyas 1:32.
