Might work on my E4T, it was pretty narrow from the get go stock.

This could really work for any non Wagoneer pre-97 XJ to be honest.

Thats a great idea which would get it pretty close also. Oh and that section of body below the rear taillights I would plan to chop off any way and run a tube bumper around the corners lol. Like this one

That looks familiar, have you posted it on here before, or just NAXJA?

They raised/extended the rocker panels which offset the rear tail lights and top of the rear bumper up higher. Which makes the rear end sucked up higher which at least in my eyes looks horrible and very noticeable. I didn't even have to compare pictures to know something was wrong.

Heres my 87 (which has the same body style as the 92, I just had this picture on hand)
Though, I'll probobly deal with it and end up getting one anyway. I mean at least they tried to provide this long awaited body for us so I shouldn't complain too much. If I do decide to build one I'm gonna do a replica of my 1:1 most likely



Wow, that backend is a little lame-1.1 that height in the back would make cargo room crappy back there! Body still looks good but that inaccuracy is buggin! I gotta say the window pillars and roof rack is neat, although seeing how Proline does the cage thing with bodies now, they could have done the roof rail as a seperate plastic asscesory!

Rhett314 says:
"I think the problem is the bottom of the doors. The front bumper is also raised up. If you were to trim the middle I think it would look spot on. I can't wait to get my hands on one."

I think I agree with Rhett314 that the deeper middle area between wheel wells is the scale issue here, as I've seen this with other Proline bodies like the old Chevy C10 body(not the comp one).

Hey guys I just bought my first crawler(venom creeper). Does any one know if the 92 jeep body would fit this or is it only for axial crawlers?

Actually it's larger. 1:1 WB = 104 where the body is 11.8, which is like 1:8.5

Pre-ordered one of each from RPP last week. I've been waiting on the XJ body for about 20 years a few more days won't kill me.

Looks like you may be the first to get it 2JSC
Pics mocked up or it didn't happen
Is it just me or does 19" sound a bit long for the body with an 11.8 WB?
