Looks very good, just get some more inset rims and you're done!!! I like the big wheels/tires on it. Not bad with the 1.9s but the 2.2 with big tires is better.

I'd drop that body down a bit, look a bit high. Other than that looks awesome.

i like it, im partial to the larger 2.2 setup, but this also looks great, isnt there a larger set of 1.9 tires available? just to kind fill the gap in the fenders...... and i just noticed the crack in the windshield.... bummer :-(.... but it looks good any way you roll with it.....

That's pretty cool, good job going for the 1.9 setup! I would avoid 2.2's, way too played out and goofy.

For being as is I would also say stick to a higher offset wheel. It just seems a bit too wide. Those wheels do kickass but not for these axles imo. The frame rails look good unpainted. Its part of what makes the look.

Now if you could just lower the body/bed a bit more it would be perfect. It does not seem like you can unless its with major cutting. If not it still looks good in that lifted kind of way =P

Looks great! How heavy is that body? Does the truck behave like a weeble wobble?

That link is for the regular trail doctors, check out the the xl version. Now that is very noticably bigger. Probably the biggest 1.9 tire if I'm not mistaken. Team those up with some hummer wheels to bring down the width and you're golden =P

Nice pics. Don't want to be a biter but when I do get a cr01 I just might throw a unimog body on there too. Hope its not too time consuming mounting it. Any hassles changing the battery out?
