Default My attempt at a China JK Jeep

what do you mean by "...ever since I killed my 2000 TJ last fall"? Was it a real 1:1 TJ?

What do you guys think of my wheelbase it's right at 11.25. I'm thinking that after I trim the fenders a little bit it will look good.

Cool, I just ordered one of these in that same color for my new 3racing Ex Real build.

First pic looks fine to me but in the second one the rear wheels could go a bit more forward (It's a 10.8 in body after all).
Move the body backwards a bit? Even if you keep the longer wheelbase the difference is less visible in the front 'cause the fenders are more open. IMO.

Looks fine to me. I'd go lower if it had smaller, more stock looking wheels. But these look like aftermarket so a slightly lifted look suits it!

Is it the camera angle or is it raked? Looks like the nose needs to come up a bit to level it out. Cool looking Jeep... Love the color.

I haven't made any body mounts yet so it's not setting level.

The Baja Claws look to be the perfect size IMO.

I tried the MSTs on mine too, then laughed and took them right back off!

Went with Pitbull Rock Beasts, but I think the Baja Claws (and your slightly longer wheel base) look better.

Nice looking jeep. I wsa going to put this body on my CFX but the Bronco body fits the CFX so well so they stay together. I'm going to move the back axle forward a little then mess with the front. The links I used were were the leftover links from the CFX almost a perfect fit.
