I love it!  Only thing it's missing is the coupler spring coil over!  8)

I actually designed the yard Kabota to use coupler springs for suspension.  On the Jeep, you could fashion an independent axle and probably swap out the big(er)/stronger steel springs for extended suspension and the weaker copper/brass springs for compressed suspension and make it look like the Jeep is really out for a crawl!

Now you tell me! I absolutely would have done that if you had given me the idea sooner!

Oops, my bad!   I'll have to send you a new one once I do the re-design on the print itself.

Thanks Ed.

Here's a render of the 3D model to give an idea of the individual parts. 
And this is just the structural parts for the sake of the model.  There are still probably close to a hundred more cross braces and cable ties I will add before it's finished.

Hell, that one bridge is bigger than many whole layouts...
