I actually like the body because of the room for accessories but I did not like the soldiers or the s***** panels the way I made it it'll. Be pretty d*** close to bold proof double layered fiber tape. On 1 mm Lexan And 2 Coats shoogoo every screw hole used and reinforced with washers and key points have nut on the inside each panel phalengths the next
Bullet proof lol
Got 50k 500k 30k front center rear 13 t pinion punch at 9 40mm fans on all first run on 4s went well
I completely disassembled thus thing every pin peice scre and bolt first time I've done this No stranger to fixing them this is just my first complete tear down.
I learned a lot about my vehicle End it became a lot more personal Like a pet or a friend?

Suspension in wheelies a plenty soon I went ahead and ordered wheelie bar and roof rails decided on a wrap instead of dip less chem
