well im very close to finishing my tlt and need to decide on a body. any suggestions. anything that you people out there would like to see. im open to all but will probably throw away a few. so throw 'em at me.

Madkoifish · 07-05-2005, 11:29 PM

do a bug ;p
or your favorite truck?? Seems those stadium truck bodies are less cropped for clearance on peoples tlts. That old *** explorer I had on my truck as a dummy body looked good. Sadly dhams hs been gone for ages it seems. The jeeps and larger truck (ie more scale bodies) tend to hang up on the wheels a lot.
Do something silly or diffrent.

Prolines dodge power wagon or the ford courier look to be "diffrent" I like the power wagons old skool look. Heh dhams has that 32 truck shell too cut off the fenders and youll have a rod crawler >_> you could even go off the deep end and slap a buggy shell on there or a narrow TC bod on it.

I'm Running The Dodge Power Wagon On My Clod Crawler And The Wheel Wells Would Be Darn Near Perfect For 2.2 Tires.

I KIND OF DIG THAT BABY BLUE FORD COURIER BODY THOUGH..

K_B · 07-08-2005, 12:08 PM

I know... they aren't very unique, but I'm a Jeep Nut and I felt compelled to put my 2 cents in. I'm voting for the power wagon. Or the Courier, if you're trying to go for full-on "unique-ness". I don't know about anybody else, but I've NEVER seen a Courier out on the trails.

<rant>
And why is it that companies discontinue the cool bodies like the Jeep Scrambler and FJs (there seems to be a demand for them) and release such odd-ball bodies like a frickin' FORD COURIER??? Although rbgerrish's Courier buildup makes it look darn cool.

I heard the Fj was discontinued due to licsencing issues.
