How do you guys prefer to mount your hard bodies?

[Chaotic Crawlers]

I've got a few ideas up my sleeve on how I want to mount my jeep hard body,
But I figured I would see how most of you guys prefer to do it.
I've searched threads, but haven't seen a lot of info on how the bodies are actually mounted.

I've seen magnets in the past, and of course screws.
Pics would be great if you got em.

Thanks!!!

To locate: posts from underside of body, into or between delrin details on chassis.
To hold: Velcro on plastic plates I stand off of body and/or chassis.

Same here: velcro.

Hidden body posts.

I dunno the "correct" name for these pieces but they came in a bag with my Dingo TR, there's 2 more of them out on the rear of the frame:





This is the mount for if you use an SUV body, just trimmed it down and dremeled it a bit to fit, then drilled a couple holes to screw it to the body:




And just regular body posts held from the inside of floor with body clips, foam pieces are there just to make a tighter fit:




I've rolled this thing many times and it's held up great.

I prefer to have Velcro hold the body in place, but I also incorporate some sort of locating device so the body is assured to go in the same place each time it's re-installed.

I've never thought of using Velcro.
Interesting idea! Hmmmm...

Thanks for the replies.

Velcro, I had photos, but cant find them.

Like everyone says, a couple of locator pins, and some velcro.

This is what i came up with for my latest build.



Velcro in the front.




And for the rear i just added a piece of steel to the sliders, added some syrene to the bottom of the body and use a screw on each side to mount. I dont know how durable it will be yet but my body always mounts in the same spot now. I also dont have any unsightly screws showing on the outside of the body. I like some kinda of hard mount with the velcro because I feel that the body moves to much with just velcro. Im hoping that if the mounts fail it will just be the styrene which i can replace easily and not the body itself. May take a couple more minutes in the field to change a battery but I dont really worry bout that. Anyways its what i came up with and im sticking to it for now

I have always mounted my interior to the chassis and the screwed the body from undernethe to it

I like to build mine into the sliders. I always incorporate some type of mount on them all be it flat stock or tube sliders.
