Default Cherokee (soon to be Comanche!) Build

Hey all. I purchased a barely used Dingo on this forum a couple weeks ago. It now has a Cherokee body on it (w/ Dingo flares, yeah they don't line up perfect, but this is just a basher body!), a Novak 55t Crawler system, Pitbull Rock Beasts, and a Spektrum radio! I have a rusted out Jeep Comanche body at my airbrush guy's shop, so I'll update the thread when I get it. Here are some trail shots from today! I love this truck so much. So glad I got into crawling . I have a 4 link conversion on the way as well, so I'll show some pics when it's installed (it's a longer wheelbase).

Does the Cherokee body fit perfect with the dingo wheel base, or it it needing to be stretched?

It's close, but the dingo's wheel base is just a tad short.

The XJ body fits my dingo's wheelbase perfectly.

Here is a recent shot after adding a cargo rack & light bar. I extended the wheelbase to honcho length, and now the body looks a bit goofy. This is ok though, as my Comanche body should be back from paint within a week!
