As it says, nearly stock.
No paint mods, no chopping and hacking.... Just simple.
Specs:
-4x4 kit
-Bearings
-Lift kit
-Tamiya Torque Tuned motor with neo mags and BB case
-Body lift (spacers under body clip and custom front mount
-Locked front and rear diffs
-Dual rate front springs (stock with blue gen1 springs wound in)
-Removed rear bumper
-Custom aluminum front bumer !!NOT FINISHED!!
-Cut tabs off for more rear articulation
To do:
-New exhaust
-Lights
-Offroad lights
-Brush guard
-Finish bumper
-Aluminum roll bar maybe, with lights too possibly
-Rear bumper?
I had an aluminum exhaust but lost it. Gonna make a new one.
Here are some pics....
i do like the front bumper, its hig so nothing gets caught and stops the under carage bit from gett mashed, suspension.... 8) is amazing, i dunno if its stock but looks good
Dig the front bumper. One change would to be to add a plate just under the head light to fill in that gap.
But bent metal won't win anything...

Alright, thanks guy.
Soon as I can find the leftover window tint from my ranger I'm going to tint the head and tail lights on the thing.
Possibly some vinyl racing stripes. Dunno.
Was really hoping to make some custon suspension parts and some nicer wheels and bigger tires.
We'll see...
I was being slightly sarcastic. :wink:
I realize that people don't have money to put into xmods but we've all collected a bunch of nub (spare bits and pieces) and in so doing we all have the basis for trying something interesting and different. It is the creativity of xmods based modifications that I'm hoping to see.
I do like your bumper and it shows you've put some effort into it, i'll let this truck stay in the buildoff. Maybe if you wow us with your other hand built modifications it'll reach that level of creativity I'm hoping to see.
I'm glad there's no hard feelings because my intent is to push everyone into thinking outside the norm and that your truck, while mostly stock, will not stay bland and typical for long...right? :D
Haha. I don't know if you were being sarcastic or not?
I don't have any money to put into my Xmods. So why not use stuff I already have to make my truck custom?
If it's too stock for this then you can remove it.
No hard feelings :)
way to be creative nismo...thanks for coming out. :roll:
