I'd recommend lengthening both front and rear links.

1. You can still use the stock driveshafts
2. Keeps frame centered with body and keeps shock hoops/shocks more centered in wheel wells.

No video, it was all rocks, and it kicked ass...AFTER I moved the battery to the front. I love this truck. I ran it without the body after some time since I mounted it crapily. Pictures uploading.

looks great! only suggestion i would make is to pull the newbright and big jeep stickers off.

MiddleT · 02-01-2009, 05:06 PM

Man that looks good! Do you have any pics of how you mounted the body?

Thank you. I will remove the stickers yes, and paint.

Thanks man. Sadly, no, but it was a temporary mount for the GTG, and it was ugly.

I'm going to be in the same boat soon, my JK arrives tomorrow hopefully, I had thought it would fit right under but oh well.

Now how can we adjust the front and keep the shock hoops centered? They are fixed in position and don't have any other mounting holes. Guess we can drill some extra if required.

Have you already done this before we re-invent the wheel?

Thanks
Tim

Recently SebringMGB made me an awesome snorkel.
Here are the mounted snorkel pictures. After I paint I will put the trim around the front of the snorkel correctly.

Thorvald · 02-03-2009, 08:44 PM

Hmm, did some quick math...

Existing SCX10 Wheelbase is 290mm

NewBright JK Body is approx 13" or 330.2mm, say 330mm.

Difference of 40mm we need to make up (2 cm front, 2 cm back).

---

Existing pipes on SCX10 are 6x91mm, we need 6x111mm to be spot on (assuming 13" is the exact correct wheelbase for the JK).

Axial makes a nice set of grey 6x106mm pipes (PN AX30516). This would give us 15mm extra per link or 30mm total, just 10mm short on a side...arghh.

---

For the posts, the SCX10's are 7x60mm, we need 7x80mm.

Of course, Axial only makes a 7x70mm post (PN AXA1431), this leaves us 20mm short on a side. Another option is to screw two 7x40mm posts together (PN AXA1425) to get the 80mm length and still have it look semi stock.

---

May still have to break down and make my own links but I do like the nice clean look of these stock Axial links.

My JK should arrive tomorrow so I'll try to obtain an exact wheelbase in mm to see how much we are off.

Cheers
Tim

wow that turn out nice. A buddy of mine just mounted up that same body but still needs to move his rear axle back 1/2in

AeroSynch · 02-08-2009, 03:50 PM

Pictures from the GTG today.

AeroSynch · 02-14-2009, 09:24 AM

Yesterday I got a sweet light rack for my Jeep just like I wanted it from 7point2. Thank you so much Christian! I just need to find some lights for it that will look good. It is not mounted yet. I will make holes and mount it later. The 3 holes on the body are for the snorkel.

It's prime time!

killjoyken · 02-14-2009, 06:59 PM

Are you going to paint the fenders the same as the body? Or are you re-painting the black?

They will be black, body will be Gun Metal.

killjoyken · 02-15-2009, 02:28 PM

Nice. I see how you mounted the rear of the body, but what did you do for the front? Right now I'm trying to figure out how to keep the interior without hacking it up too much.
