If you look in the August WIPs of the MOTM contest you will see my start of a Rat rod Jeep. Now I intend on slamming it to the ground like the one pictured and still keeping it 4 wheel drive. my problem is the axles are missing from this model. I dont have much in the line of 4x4 stuff so I may have to buy, but what axles ( kit ) would you guys that build trucks recommend ? I would like to find something with separate leaf springs and axles.

Is 01 a member here? Ask Josh he knows all about that stuff, if he isn't a member, you can come to MCJSD and find him in the members and send him a PM to ask him. I am sure he can help you, may even have what you need.

Big Chevy here does resin of just about any 4x4 axles around. He might have a setup with separate leaf springs. He's on eBay if you want to see what he has. If not just ask him. He might be willing to make something like that for you. He own BNL resin in our Mall section. Give him a shout out, see what if he can help. If not I'll take look at what I have when I get back home this weekend.

Do you have paypal? and are the axles whole? I find axles but the top side isnt finished and in my build you will see that.

Beast, that MPC WWII Jeep does have whole axles with separate leaf springs. Also has a separate transfer case that attaches to the transmission. The axles are a bit narrow though, as they are stock width for the Jeep. I have the kit if you need any other questions answered.
