Alright.. here we go... i started by building a basic chassis to mount the axles/tranny and body to, nothing fancy....






Made sure that the wheels would fit under full compression... might need some bump stops and mayeb clearance the front bumper...





Heres the basic stance.. it'll sit a bit lower then this once more wieght is added to it..





And ya cant go withou a little bit of bling... i added a metal mesh in front of the "radiator"... poser shot



Next up is going to be a mount for the txt tranny and then mounts from each axle to the tranny to help strenghten it up a bit to get her ready to do some pullin!!!! Im thinkin of starting the trailer in about a week... im sick of carrying my rigs to the comp locations. Im going to outrig the Jeep with the battery charger, extra batteries, spare parts... kinda like a contractors rack in the back and a roof rack... maybe to carry lunch.. or trophies! Im going to start building a tow hitch to hook the trailer up to.... plans and money and time... thats all it takes.. mostly time and money!
