looks alot better now, i have the roll cage painted up and the interior 99% finished, right now about 50 million times to fast for a crawler lol, im looking into a better motor. im going to follow xmodifications winch tut for this truck aswell, and try and get bigger tires.

Looks great with the Top on!! What color are you planning on paint it dude? It sits pretty weel on the chassis - nice job on the mounting set-up.

Good job. There is alot of room under that top, you should go for a full interior, and maybe add a driver.

wow thanks for replies- at the moment it should be olive drab. its dark green. kel- the overland has massive suspension towers lol- i cant fit a iterior any lower .would like to though. im planning on building a driver from paperclips and putty though soon

I really like that land rover body, and that shade of green is very nice...

great idea to leave some of the panels un-painted...

[mini-z guy]

thanks naz, i think im goint to try some scratches and maybe dents;) ive got to get more brass and build a custom roof/with roof rack that will double as a new rollcage aswell.

great body choice, looks like a military wolf edition in the flat green.
