Looks awesome. You could cut the center brace off of the body mount. Then you could get flat piece of plastic or aluminum and make a new brace that attaches to the lower post holes.

Yeah, two options cut the center out of the post like Deluge said or cut a slot in the body.

First option is better. Cut the center out of the posts and brace them lower.

My Mt is almost complete. Now I just need RCDAD'S belt drive. What do you guys think, leave the wheel nuts blue or deanodize?

Looks Super Sweet! Leave the wheel nuts and consider painting the Beadlock blue or white

With the buggy gearing we put on tomorrow, you're gonna see Mickey Mantle flying across the field!

Wish I could die the bead locks but I cant..... painting blue would be nice but they would chip pretty easy but I do have enough blue paint left to do the bead locks I just might do that.

Looks great!

Like the blue nuts.

I'd leave the beadlocks. They take quite a beating in the dirt. Scuffed up black is better than chipped paint.

Are you going to lower the body some or is there no room?
I could lower the front a bit but the problem with lower it the front body would cover the bumber cause the body is a little long. I going to put a bumper mod on so the bumper can pretrude beyond the body to protect it. If you look at Krashkrieg bumper mod I going to do the same one. As for the rear I am going to leave it as is cause right now there is perfect clearance for my CPI pipe.
