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.

I need suggestions in what to do in the back of the truck, i was thinking a motorcycle rack or bicycle rack i don't know.......:idea:

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 "thumbsup"

This was taken at the park:

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.

i just got the urge to do a Disco body ....... clean looking rig, nice job

Yes those RC4WD wheel would look great on this. Very nice body.

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"thumbsup"

Oh, and maybe paint the roof white. Thats how mine will be and thats how i always see these trucks.

Did you have to adjust the wheelbase from stock?

Very close to down town Wheaton PM me if you are interested in going to any trails

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.

thank for your response i actually have the landrover rims but i purchase the cheap version of it the plastic ones they look the same i will see how long they last, and today i just got my RC4WD mud Trashers they look nice they mach really nice with the wheels.

yes you have to adjust it i haven done it yet i was waiting for my tires so i can do it with them on it. but is just a bit on the rear part

Thanks for the suggestions i may re design the truck again paint the roof white and i want to se if i can learn how to bronze so i cam make some metal work on it may be a nice roof rack with a leader in the back and space for fog lights on top, will see git me with any more suggestions thanks"thumbsup"

Hey if you decide to sell the flat irons and beadlocks off your rover i'd really be interested in them? LMK after you get all your new tires wheels on it?

I ill let you know.

Now are these wheels and tires better?
