Default Rubicon Tuber

This is my second attempt at building a tube chassis to go under my Rubicon body. All brazed 3/16 tubing. It goes out for powder next week and then time to build the hood and side panels. Can't bring myself to cut up a new body yet. I am gonna look for a used Rubicon body to cut up. What do you think.

55t lathe
Moped ESC
Moabs on home built beadlocks
TLT axles w bearings
Locked Pede tranny.

Thanks for the feed back. I have not got much work done on it in a few days, the wife needed attention.
