I have seen people Modify the CC-01/XC axles. Might be an option. How wide is the body though? | |

Before we get too far in. Where did that body come from? That's what I have as a daily driver and would be an awesome next project. Can't wait to see this story unfold |

Where did you find that body? That's going to rock! I could make a mini of my wife's rig and maybe get her into the hobby. |

| I'm pulling up a chair for this one. I love these builds. I like the look of it already with the swampers and roof rack. How wide do the axles need to be?

OHH MY!!!!!! not another one, I had to read all 20 some pages of the last one over when it got resurected (sp?). I would do the tourage rear axles, seems like they would be close. Good luck, can't wait to see some updates. P.S. I am predicting this will be around 23 pages. Last edited by Harley; 12-13-2006 at 11:48 AM. |

I bought that truck about 3 weeks ago, just for the body. The running gear is crap, it cost $60. The dimensions are as follows: Overall length 16" Wheelbase 9 1/2" - 9 3/4" Overall width 6 1/2" - 6 3/4" Here's a few pictures of it next to my Jeep so you can compare. Hope this helps. I'll be watching closely, hoping to get some ideas for my build. |
