welcome newbie.......:flipoff2:
whats wrong john, not welcoming the newbies anymore?

That's a little bit too long for my taste Mudlite. Anywhere from 90 to 100.???

Status don't matter to me, but thanks for the warm welcome. :flipoff2: :flipoff:

judging by your post's you havent been around long enough to realize the little green guy is smilling unlike your red B@sturd so dont take offence it's a welcoming thing so sit back and learn a little. you'll get the answers you need when asked and not shouted welcome newbie

how much are you planning on lengthening it? how do you want to do it? do you want a lengthened body or do you want to make it kinda like a truck cab. i have seen it done a couple of different ways. depending on if you want a lengthened body to go along with the increase in wheelbase will determin which is the easiest route.

Sorry Rockrat, i know i'm new and i didn't know that little red dude was yelling, i just liked it, so don't think i was mad, i enjoyed the welcome and hope for more of it.

I'm lengthening mine but I'm just going to make a new frame.
It all depends in what your trying to accomplish,I'm going custom suspension and would like as much freedom as possible and then I'll adjust the body to work.

2x4 rec tubins about 10 gage works great.

and notic on that 115" w/b zuki, that thers nothing holding the front tires on, actually theres no axle, no pass tie, a nothing holding the rear tires on, they used a photo shop thing to cut and past the tires and drive shaft in, the fork-lift behind the zuki is all thats holding it........ but they give you the idea......
