|  my scale leaf jeep attempt
hey guys its a cheap body but its about building a leaf sprung ride. money and time will run the build. going as low budget as possible. i went 2.2 and it might look a little off let me know. thinking transfer case and divorced motor up front. cutting board chassis  i want to finish it before i deploy (Army reserves officer AGR going to afganistan) but we will see.  more to follow..... |

i trimmed the fenders a lot to give it a more garage mod look. i am going for the jeep on 44's look. i think it will be a fun build, i really would like to see one on 1.9's too much money to just "try" it and my MRC tires looked like pizza cutters. thanks for your responses i will update as i go. | |

I was going to say it looks like one of those Jeeps they run down in the swamps... I think it looks awesome. I'll say it again thanks for your service, stay safe over there bro.
