I like it with the wider stance. Should side hill a lot better that way. At the same time I like when the tire will tuck up into the fender as well with the skinnier stance. I think I'd go wider if it was mine tho

I actually got lucky. The guy started this on his property and is doing all the work himself. He is having a hard time getting people interested. Also luckily for me it's about 10 minutes down the road. My day job preventing me from helping out or I would. There's so much more space there to add on to. Come on down and have a good time

I got one for mine. Believe he has the same one. It is a clear body for an Axial SCX 10 II. I am modifying my body mounts and rear suspension to fit it (switching from the Defender) The front mounts almost line up perfectly but the rear needs a little finesse and the bronco wheelbase is actually closer to being the right length. I am going to start painting mine this weekend hopefully.

It's the Axial Jeep Cherokee body. You really get a lot of nice items with it from Axial

Is that the Axial roof rack? I need to decide what I am going to put on top of mine.

Yes it is the Axial roof rack. The 4" RC4WD double light bar fits perfectly

I picked up a used Axial Cherokee body from ebay and used the stock front mount holes on the stock TRX4 front mount which centered the front wheels perfectly. I then had to lengthen the rear Bronco links about 3/16" to center the rear wheels in the body rear wheel wells. I ended up with a 12.5" wb.

How much did you have to trim the inner fenders? That looks like everything finished out perfect

If I remember correctly it was just the outer lip. I remember using a razor knife and cutting along the top edge of it. It acts as a guide to help cut straight

Thanks for your awesome information on this. I have been putting the hours in on my rig today and finally got it painted and mounted up. I am thrilled with how it turned out! Just a little more paint to do and I am going to make my own setup for lights but it is really close to being where I want it.
