A good frame would probably be an X-Trail, or SCX-10, or if you wanted to you could just make your own frame. | |

i thought sometime ago someone posted a frame from some site that had a frame that was made specifically for the jeep yj. i just cant rememeber for the life of me what it was. the scx10 is too long so i figured the attachment points for the shocks would not line up with the wheel wells. i have no seen the x-trail (im a n00b) and i am not too great with fab work yet (once again im a n00b :P

The scale shop makes or at least made some specifically for it, look for stangkillaSS on here, he runs it.

you can make a YJ body fit a scx10, that's what I plan on doing. I've seen it done. I think you have to shorten the rear of the chassis. Check the 1.9 & 2.2 scale threads, think that's where I saw it. Also try rcjeeps.com.
