Default KJ's Nissan "The Final Frontier"

Time for a new build, this time trying something different, something Ive never seen, Picked up a body from my buddy Eddie @ Crawler Innovation, its a early 2000 Nissan Frontier, full interior, drop bed, and fold down tail gate. the body is long and wide. Wheelbase is right under 14" and the body is almost 9.5" wide. Still finalizing details on paint wheels and such. Wanted to try and have it ready fro Lrc but dont want to rush.
Parts list
Nissan Frontier Hardbody
Gcm Cross Canyon chassis
Gcm transfer case
Scx10 Axles
Vp High Steer knuckles
Axial Clockable Hubs
Axail lockouts
Over/Under gearing
Mips
More parts to come once decided

I'd stick with the scx stuff and run it class1 for its first buildup...
The body looks nice tucking the tires.

Don't think it'll run class1 tires. thinking either pits or tsls.

Can't believe how small pits look on that. You should try 4.19" tires for kicks. Seems a shame to run that in c2 with how well they tuck.
