Default Advice: Looking to buy an RC crawler to match my full-size crawler..

I'm looking for some advice, I build full-size rock crawlers and race cars for a living and I'd like to get into an RC crawler that can be built to kind resemble my full-size rig.

I'd like the vehicle to also be a kit (not a RTR) as I enjoy the build process

I'm a big fan of Tamiya-branded stuff and the CR-01 kit with the wrangler body looks ultra-realistic, too bad it's a YJ. So far I'm leaning towards this kit and modifying the front headlights to be like a proper Jeep (round). The proportions really do look similar to how a stretched out wrangler looks sitting on 40" tires (like mine).

I also like the Axial SCX10 or Wraith for the chassis, I just can't seem to find a TJ wrangler body. The chassis layout looks good and the options look endless for this kit as well (more so than the Tamiya).

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Attached is a pic of my Jeep I'd like the kit to resemble.
