Default Body positioning

Hey all

Just busy prepping my new body from my Rubicon kit and am a little unsure about the optimal position for the body mounts.

The rear ones look the most tricky as they seem to want to come through the straps on the tool box behind the rears seat. Is this right?

Also should the body be clear of the front bumper and sit behind it once mounted?

Please see my attached pics

Any advice would be appreciated.

I would be interested in seeing where you're rear mounts are positioned.

You'd think axial could mold a little dot into the lexan, make it a no-brainer on where to ream... Oh well, makes it interesting. Looks great op!

To true that would have been a big help. The other issue is with the roof. It needs four 2mm screws which I have no idea how to position now that I have painted the roof.

for a painted surface and mounting some people use grease on the body posts or paint the top of the body posts and it leaves a mark on the inside of body..
