| I've never seen it done. The YJ body's wheelbase is way to short to fit the AX-10's stock wheelbase. The YJ body's WB is only 9.5"  |

| my idea more or less is to have the front tires sticking out a bit further than the rear, but the rear tires will extend a short amount past the rear of the body, which in my opinion will be better for crawling since the tires will hit the rocks instead of the body. it looks decent when i had it mocked up. so far i moved the links to the inner most position and moved the body posts up right behind the shocks and i will fab a bracket out of metal and use velcro to attach the posts to the body, quite similat to east end machinings velcro mount only spaced further apart. we shall see how it turns out, if it sucks maybe ill just have to gget another chassis, but i really wanna try to make this one work. if anyone has any ideas or input it would be very helpful. thanks!

| Any body can be made to work on any truck. That said, what will the end result be? How well will it work? What is your overall intention? If you plan to comp it, I would not do it... If its a basher, who cares, go for it. Stop by on Saturday with it and get some advice in person, there will be 15-20 guys milling around all day just looking for things to do... |
