Default What body for a performance minded 12.5 Class 2/3 rig?

Need a body for my Monster Mash Build.

Looking for suggestions.

Lexan only option please.

And likely looking to do a Cab and Cage/Flatbed combo.

Heard Harley say something about a possible New Version of the Power Wagon.

The new chevy option from PL doesn't look bad.

But Tomorrow is my Birthday (8-4) and the PL 66 Chevy (I was born in 66) has a certain appeal for obvious reasons.

But looking for option. Rig is 12.5 wb.

What you think?

All the ones you mentioned are good looking bodies. I personally would do Cliffhanger. If strictly class 2, I'd probably do a Proline Hilux and boat/bob the bed.

I like the Jconcepts F250 body. I just put one on my TRX4 and it looks pretty good. With some better trimming and painting than I did this body has some pretty good potential. Super light weight too.

What about the MST J45C body and bed setup? Anyone have info on it?
Is it decent quality? not too flimsy?

I wont be 'comping' persay, but may get into one or two here in Michigan.

I have it. It's a really nice body and detailed well. But because I put it on a GSpeed V3 chassis, I hacked the flares off and the body is resting on the front shock towers. And I didn't use the bed as it's too heavy. But it's got a rear fairlead which would be cool for a rear winch setup.

Entered my brain for split 2nd. lol Kind of set of a cab only setup.

Thinking maybe an Origin or even a Phoenix bodyset as it has the cage and cab only. doesn't look bad, and isn't super overdone at the moment.
Bit pricey for a full body set though.

But still open to ideas for a cab only. Cage options can be figured out quick as I have a few ideas I want to bring into it for this build.
And I need to decide soon if I want to have it ready should I decide to go to the Gauntlet run here in Michigan Sept 16-17 with it.
