On a Tamiya Wild Willys you mean? They'd be WAY too big. I'm pretty sure an All-T is half the length of one on it's own. VMG axles would be about the right width, and with some nylint tires would be pretty scale. That was my plan anyway, but my friend just wouldn't let his go.

the wheelbase is only 6.4" tlt axles would look about like a stock wild willy does except 4wd and be about useless. it would look silly with 1.9's sticking out so far and sit way high with 2.2's, nevermind the top heaviness.

if your talking 1:6th scale or a 12" fig jeep you may need to widners for the axles but other than that it ought to look pretty decent although all-t's are probably a little big. g-hawgs look sweet though
search around, a few people here have done it.
