Oh yeah, body still sports full LED's, though the rear ones had to flop sides and be rerouted down the sides (fenders) of the bed instead of crossing under the tonnau. And I mounted a lead tape Skidplate on the nose (2nd pic in first post) Installed some lead-free solder wheel weights too, it really climbs like a mofo now!

Body no longer fits on car chassis due to bed install, but that's because I built the bed as deep as it could *possibly* go on a ZZ-M chassis and didn't plan on running it on some other chassis. (had to file antenna hump off PCB Cover and bed's still a bit shallower than I'd like)

And I do know that most of the body mods are rather useless on a Monster Truck with this kinda lift, but if you're gonna off-road instead of playing in a stadium, it ought to look like it can sustain itself out there. Plus it looks more like a Truck now.

I'm trying to talk myself out of working KC off-road lights mounted on top of the rollbar. Also considering adding a lower bar in the brushguard, but won't decide that until I have a winch built, or unless I get some feedback.



Took this much work to make it look half as agressive as the Jeep. I wish RadioHack made a Toyota Taco or a Land Rover or something, even a Suzuki Samuri would be nice. Then again, I wish they hadn't killed off the Jeep before I was able to get a ZZ-M.

Ok, questions, comments, insults?
