I can't tell if you have the chassis done yet or not. It looks like it's sitting a little low tho. There are different parts in that kit form the older versions. The latest one, that release, has lift spacers that would have it sit a little higher than in the pics. Snorkel looks awsome!

Hey there, Im loving this, I had an idea very similar that i wanted to do. By the way it looks great with what you have done, just 1 question though, where did you get this kit?

ooh very cool build , love the detail you are putting in

for my taste it could be raised a bit / sit higher :)

Thanks....... :D

Every time that i do something to the model, I put the body on top of the tires to have a idea of how it will looks.......... ;) . It will be higher......... B)
