|  cj8 new chassis
Off work today so got board and threw this chassis together out of aluminum i had laying around. I know its not a sw2 or bulu but it will do for me for time being it works out very nice. Center of chassis is about 3 1/4 wheel base 12.5 i'm not in no comps so buying a comp chassis would do me no good but i do love the looks of the sw2 bender has maybe will get one for another tlt i will do in the future. Love those rock rings from Unimoger there awesome.

thats a really clean chassis for being your first wack at one. BTW looks just as capable as any other comp chassis here. |

Looks nice, I used to always use solid rod for my links then I got lazy and started doing it the threaded and sleeved way.
