G-wagon's rock! I love mine...yours is shapin up nice too!
Only thing i might suggest is lowering it a little.
Maybe go for a half-droop type of thing. I do that on all my scale
builds and it really helps with the "scale" part of it. But those tires are gonna fight ya for it...
I'll be watchin' this one...

It looks insanely nice... but why only leafs in the front? IMO it should be leafs rear and coils front if anything other than coils at each corner. But to each their own.

it sits at half the rear shocks height. I could lower it, but these tires rub their arse off any lower and I only have about 2-3" of flex. It is a trade off, smaller tires and look better or big tires and be capable. I chose the latter

I wanted a lil looser suspension so I linked the rear. Also the only leafs I had were too long to get the wheelbase right and keep it all under the body in the rear. It performs remarkably well and the Rock Stomper 1.9's really have impressed me.

Cant wait to get the frame and roof rack painted and add a couple of other things.

Thanks for the compliments guys

One more thing. Your G-Wagon and rbgerrish's(sp) are what put me over the edge wanting to do one.
