Nice work and beautiful color scheme.

These Jeep Honcho's are just plain cool trucks. So much you can do with them. Look forward to seeing you complete yours.

I've built one as a kid and have recently gotten another one to build again. If memory serves correct, it was a pretty easy kit to build and fit well.

Yeah, it looks too tall..... Maybe bring it down so the tops of the tires are just below the wheel well openings / rocker panel height.

From a "reality" standpoint, I agree. With that much arc to the leafs, they'd have no flex at all. As the suspension cycles, the length of the spring needs to go somewhere, and the way its set up it would rip the shackles out on the first pothole or rock :o

With a lot of lift like that, you'd probably also want to add some sort of bars to stop the axles from just twisting right off the perches the first time the gas pedal is touched :D

SWEET looking truck, though!
