Default jeep body

There's soo many body option out there it gets a bit overwhelming going through them all. Hopefully some of you guys can help me out. I'm looking for an early 90's YJ body. Preferable a hard one. Is there anything like this out there?

Thanks guys.

Guess it depends on how picky you want to get with the body lines, etc. Proline makes a lexan TJ body. Newbright also makes a TJ hardbody, a bit harder to find. If I remember correctly, Tamiya makes a Wrangler hardbody. Not sure which model/year it's based on though.

With any of those, you should be able to do enough modifying to get it to look more like the earlier YJs.
