A Tamiya Hilux body fits alright with a little bit of work. |

any body you want to put on it will fit...along with a bit of body modding..it took a lil work to get my ramcharger body to fit nicely..i think a bronco body fits real close...any body with a longer hood will work out without alot of modifcation..a jeep the same way..i wanted to use a proline jk at first but didnt..i think that would really be a nice body to use 2 or 4 door

I bought an extra Ambush body the other day to use on mine so I wouldn't have to cut up one of my ramcharger bodies.

I believe the long nose of the xj would be a perfect candidate.. That would be sweet bobbed and pinched it'd be sweet J-bird |

Played around with an old Associated sc10 body and it looked promising so I picked up a Proline universal fit chevy shortcourse body and started hacking and fitting and hacking and fitting........ The front clip includes a center hood section bolted to the two front fender side panels. The rear 3/4 panels are seperate. Also managed to get a decent roof out of it. Still working on final trimming and working on the last 2 mounting points. Not going to worry about super easy acces, I am just going to have to charge the battery in place. Still thinking about paint, but I think I like the curves - we'll see once there is some paint on there. Need to make new firewalls with the new body - hate that gap into the interior.

Cherokee looks pretty good. This one is a hack job, but you get the point. Last edited by jeepinkid83; 09-09-2011 at 03:33 PM. |

Doc, the Dodge looks great, looks like a close fit, can you list the body maker and style for reference? Nicely done.

| Its the Pro-Line Ram charger, It fits perfect on the cab area. I cut the hood and the grill out and narrowed both. I shoes glued the grill back on and I use the screws to hold on the hood. I'm going to post better pics on my build thread soon.
