Hey guys, thought Id share a mock up of my commando trail truck. Its a mountain goat on stock front and custom rear leaf springs with 84 gmc diffs and scratched axle tubes. It will have a 350 and a 700r4 tranny with the jeep t-case, and a winch from the cj7 on the bumper. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Gonna be cool Kolben!
Are those SoReal wheels & tires? The rims look familiar, but the tires don't...we need them cast if they aren't readily available! ;D

Hey kolben. I love it already. Correct me if I'm wrong...the wheels came from one of those 1/27th scale toy trucks with interchangeable wheels & tires, right? I have 'em too. I've never seen the tires, though. They are cool.

Kolben, looks great... tires/wheels fit the Jeep well (not too big or too small). Do you plan to stay with that blue? I like it, especially with the white hardtop. As I remember the tires/wheels look good from the outside but they are only one-sided so they will need work to make them perfect. Maybe one of our resident casters would be up for a challenge:

Yeah the wheel backs are kind of dumb looking but thats ok. Im still not sure on the color, but Ill keep that in mind. I got a comment on the "other" forum about keeping it too lol.

Small update guys. Decided to go with a soft top from a cj7 and got the stance right. Comments and suggestions welcome!
