Going for a clone on my daily driver. Picked this up off of craigslist. Going to have wraith axels,custom chassie,bumpers. Should be a fun build. Wb is 16.5" and inside fenders measures 12" wide.

I hate to point this out, but the rear seats don't have any roll over protection.
If you had anyone, figures, in the rear section they would get a MASSIVE headache. Just a thought.

Maybe remove the rear seat and run, or add on to the roll bar.

Only scale items going into the rear. Due to the size of the rig is why I brought it down the cage early. To help with clearance out on the trails.

Due to the larger scale had to make my own high lift Jack.
All metal!
