Default Opinions on best hard body

I've got a trx 4 defender. I'm looking to get a hard body. What's everyone's favourite body, I'm willing to shorten the wheelbase as well to accommodate the body.
Pictures of your rigs would also be lovely for some inspiration.

Rc4wd Cruiser body, hands down.

Only because i have one.

Sitting on 2.2 tsl's and a 12.3"wb here

Fronts pushed out a little further than I like, but its not to horrible.





Its a nice sturdy body and has a removable roof, full interior and all the scale bits and doodads you need to complete it.... I havnt done that yet, lol

they might be a little over-saturated but the rc4wd blazers are also pretty neato.

here is one a little different im building for my son. you can really let your creativity run wild with these!
still in progress but just to show you were i'm going with it...
Renting to own... My son's first ASCENDER!



cage helps with wheelbase... no need to be "spot-on". ballpark is fine ;)

**AND keep your eyes peeled for something new to be released from RC4WD very, VERY soon! speculation is 1st gen 4RUNNER!

Not a hard body but...

Bronco gets my vote. People love the bronco for some reason. I wasnt a fan at first. I only bought the bronco for all the switches. I now love that thing. Bronco gets my vote!

It is a very nice body. Only problem I find with it is that it feels like more of a work truck rather than a 4x4

In true honesty the lc70 is a work truck...If u paint it in a good color and start buying the accessories for it ..it starts to look like a clean truck. I havent bought any accessories yet because they r pretty expensive and I don't have the money saved up yet..lol

I must agree... all that is left of my original body is the cab and even that's been modified!
