Still in progress the body needs to be mounted, the lights need to be wire and the winch connected. Im waiting for the tires so i can mount the Land Rober wheels on with the RC4WD Mud Trasher.
need to finish painting the interior and short the wheel base in the back for more clearance.

well for one, get rid of them rims and get matching rims. RC4WD will sell 5 rims, but I think all youll have to do is get 4 more rims that are like that one on the hood. and get rid of that baby tire on the hood. then it will look right.
I would also get a winch for the front and get a rack made to hold a jerry can for the back.
Then it will start to look like a Land Rover.

I'd leave the rear as is, maybe relocate the spare tire. Or add a tow hook like this Rover Has (Bonus points if you can ID the movie it's from)



Where in Wheaton are you located?

When the weather gets nicer you should meet up with me at Northside (assuming it's done being rennovated) and do some trail running with me

is that the hardbody you picked up??? Looks SWEET. Only thing I would change, ditch the tire on the hood and put it on the back (but thats just me)

Happen to have a shot of it without the body? I would like to see how you mounted it.

Nice D90. I'm working on mine right now and hope to have it as a runner in the next day or so. Mine is using two front Bruiser axles with NickRummy conversions to use TLT stub axles and knuckles. It will ride on leaf springs and uses a custom chassis by NightCrawler Customs. Slow build as it is all custom and all i have is basic hand tools. The only things i would change on yours is move the spare tire to the back and paint the fender flairs flat black, otherwise its awsome

yes thats the body is nice a lot to do with it!
I have not mount the body yet but it should not be a problem may be some velcro under the hood and the back of the body screw under the bumper.
