Great looking body! What chassis is it on?

I run all TLTs on my scalers. Are you considering some of those alum under the axle guards? If not, might consider turning the axles around. The formed screw boss' usually face up.
Tough to do to nice scaler bodies, but you might consider cutting the wells open a little and slamming the body down a little over the wheels. Front frame seems to fit, but might need to trim the rear length to get the body down over the frame.

Keep posting your progression!

Nice truck but I would look into getting a scx or a different scale chassis seems you are getting hung on the rocks quiet a bit.
