I got the tail bobbed and the bumper shorten. There's a bumper support that comes with the kit, that will raise the rear bumper up alittle. I got to put it on still, so it looks a little low right now.

I put the lights in ,with my battery behind the seat. I tryed to place everything so it couldn't be seen when the body is on. I can still get my finger in there to turn them on.

After some driving, do you see any problem with the shaft between the transmission and transfer case? I mean is the chassis rigid enough not to let these two parts move to each other?
And nice work on the truck of course, especialy the driver

Fantastic build!!
Thanks for posting all the detail!!

How did the Wildcat wheels go together with those tires?
Are the little M2 screws what actually hold the bead on or is it hidden?
