Thanks so much Crius, I appreciate you getting back to me. I had an arrangement with Pah co chu puc but he has not answered my emails or pms lately so I guess he lost interest. I look forward to seeing the link.

O.K. very cool! It looks like a number of people have gone with the HG P407 pickup kit instead of modifying the frame that Wayne did. And then ad lav came up with a jeep complete out of nowhere. I asked him for details on that one for reference. He is going to send me info at some point. I figure the more knowledge, the better.

Oops, looks like Wayne did the chassis and running gear from the HG P407 from the get go which requires extending the chassis to the right wheel base for the dragon jeep. It was very cool that he incorporated that flat cross member to support the transfer case and add more strength to the chassis splice.This really is the bees knees set up with cast axle housings instead of plastic plus excellent bearings for durability. I guess I'm preaching to the choir here.

Hey Crius, when you get around to building the two Dragon jeep conversions, I hope you can post your progress as you go.
