Right at 13 in. The donor body is 1:9 scale and the 1:1 has a 117 in wheelbase, which works out to 13 in.

Thanks "thumbsup"
Still have a lot of finishing work to do but it has come a long way.

That really has come a long way. I'm glad to see you stuck with it and I'm looking forward to seeing it painted!

Looks really good man, I knew there was alot of possibility's for this new 2 door jk body.

Thank you. Can't wait to get some action shots, but I am going to cry the first time it gets scratched up! Oh well, they are meant to be driven right?
I am looking forward to seeing paint on it too. This has taken longer than I thought it would.
Thanks. It would have been easier to use a 4 door body like the New Bright, but it was cheaper, and I like the opening doors.

Got the chassis pretty much sorted out. I will need to get a custom front bumper and mount, along with side rails made.

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Axial just announced 1.9 BFG Krawlers. Just what I have been waiting for. They will be a little bigger than what they should be, but they will be the right tire!!!

Thats awesome! What will the overall height be?

Overall height of the tire? Or the whole truck?

Tire. I couldn't find any specs in the press releases for it.

The tire is 4.7" tall and 1.5" wide. Since this truck is 1:9 scale, that comes out to a 42" tire, and the truck had 40" ones on it.

Gotcha! Pretty close if you ask me! You'd think they'd design it to be a 40" for a 1:10 scale truck... silly Axial 
That's always been the hardest thing for me is finding decent tires that fit my 1:12 scale build that measure to about 40".

A little update I like to call PAINT!!!
Still have some trimming out to do, but the majority of it is done! Still need to finish the head lights. Add the radiator. Rear windows. Thinking of spraying plasti-dip for the bead liner. Lots of little other things still to go, but getting there.
And don't worry, the bend in the center of the body will get straightened out when I glue the front and rear body sections together.
