Looks good. That L-chassis is pretty scale. Are you going to do for an interior?

Forget my Datsun body dude. That thing is sick. Buy a Big Bear interior for it. There's one on ebay right now.

Thats a funny place to store a spare.....I don't know about Alaska, but in the lower 48, we mount our spare tires on the backs of our Jeeps!!!   Looks good, Tre.....should be a fun one to beat on!!! |

Looks great! I still have to get the body mounted on mine... Wish that the other L-trail buildes were closer for a gtg and to compare in person the different ways they were built.... |

Great looking build. I really didn't want to see a picture of snow though :-( That stuff just depresses the crap out of me. The Tamiya tires look just about right on there too, nice job. |
