GMC CrewCab X-Truck Project

[XMODification]

Ok fellows - i'm kinda feeling like a building a custom truck again so i'll be using my GMC CC truck that I was using in one of my other projects for this one. The SSMT project is going to used for a Dodge Ram pickup truck now (SSMT project on hold at the moment also).

I have done alot of work on the body but I have not taken any recent pics so here's a pic of what it should look like:

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r99/xmodification/My%20Misc%20Photos/gmcdcproj.jpg

My paint scheme is still the original idea that I had in mind:

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r99/xmodification/My%20Misc%20Photos/GMC-chevydoublecab.jpg

Updated pics of chassis and body will be posted later today.

I already have a Evo truck chassis with custom front suspension and a custom steering mod done, now I have to work on lenghtening the chassis and making it 4WD with a custom metal drive-shaft. I'll be using a servo motor in the rear but I also have another idea that I might use for the rear motor. Interior for this one might be done but i'm not completely sure of it yet.

Thanks for looking guys and i'll be sure to update this a.s.a.p. :)

Thank dude! it should be easier to work with since i've done numerous x-trucks before, the SSMt was abit of a PITA but I most of the problems worked out already. This one should take too long either - i'll be painting the body sometime today or tomarrow.

Wassup bro! Thanks for the comment and i'm glad to see you up in here too.

Pics will be up soon.

Oh-boy; here he goes again! :lol:

Finally got out of that work rut, eh? Glad to see you're going to back at the building/fabricating game, mate'. :)

Cheers,

LOL -I think it's about time I got my arse into gear again on these projects! :D I feel alot more better and I think now I can complete this thing without too much problems popping up.

[SPR]

YEAHH!!! that is a freakin rad old chevy pickup! can not wait to see this thing turn out. get that sucker painted!

[fordman239]

lookin good! love the second pic.

[SPR]

whoa what a sec... that second pic is a scale too huh! lmao. wow before i really looked at it i thought the thing was real!

[adamcrawls]

NO! you can't build this it wil make me feel jelaus but i want to see this one done

[c1v1c]

Eheh all his work make me jealous! But i love them all :P
keep it up!

[XMODification]

Thanks guys! I appreciate the comments and support!:nod:

Here's a the HS-55 servo modified steering on the chassis that i'll be using:

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r99/xmodification/New%20Projects%20pics/103_1480.jpg

This is the 1st time i've tried it out since I saw it on the scale4x4 forum - it actually works great but I need to work out a few minor kinks in it (needs a slightly longer "L" steering guide).

More pics to come soon.

[Donziikid]

That does look very nice.

How's the turning radius? (A video like that of Avant's off MZR would be nice.)

[noturday]

shoule be pretty sick X, i thought this was gonna be an SSMT though?

[XMODification]

That does look very nice.

How's the turning radius? (A video like that of Avant's off MZR would be nice.)

The turning radius is one of the kinks that I need to work on - the "L" steering guide thingy is alittle too short so the radius is kinda similar to the original (except for the suspenion which is 100X better). I think i'll need to make it more like a "<" instead of "L" - that should fix the radius problem and the steering play on it all at once. As for a vid I should have one up as soon as I get the mods done - i'll also have new rims and tires which should raise the chassis height abit more (super swampers plus black custom model rims).

Edit: @ noturday - it was going to be a SSMT truck but I got me a Dodge Ram model the other day and i decide to switch up the plan. SSMT will be continued as soon as I can get to work on it (after this one I guess).

[fieldfairy2]

THis is gonna be awsome. That suspension job looks interesting. Definetly will work better than the stock suspension. I noticed you have a spacer or two under the top plate. What is that for exactly? Either way this thing will turn out great. Like all your other projects.

Thanks dude! the spacers are simply there to add alittle more suspension hieght (adds more room for the spring to compress fully). :nod:

[fieldfairy2]

Ok now i get it. Is it hard to install the Hs 55 servo as a steering mod?
I might have to do a steering mod because my crawler need a mile and 3 hours to turn.

[XMODification]

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Just a few little updates for now, I had to work on the chassis again since it wasn't turning as much as I wanted it to. Anyways, I made a new "L" steering guide, I added a ball and socket to the steering servo, and I also centered the servo in the middle with a few mods to the top of the chassis.

Here's what it looks like now:

Here's the truck body so far - it's ready for the first coat of paint which should be done later today:

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r99/xmodification/New%20Projects%20pics/103_1485.jpg

More updates to come soon.

[Stampedekid]

Uh-oh, X is doing it again....I can't watch....ok I have to. :lol: X this is going to be amazing. It is seeming more like a hobby-class truck since you got rid of the cruddy steering servo, and you also did the springs in a different fashion.

[stang_racer]

oh man what are the plans for this one X? like after u finish it up on ebay for sale here or u keeping it???

[fieldfairy2]

The body looks good and so does everything else. Does the suspension travel farther and smoother? Any ways keep up the awsome job.

[noturday]

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r99/xmodification/New%20Projects%20pics/103_1485.jpg

LOOK AT THAT STACK OF BILLS!!! :eyecraz: haha

that truck is lookin sweet so far X, cant wait to see the paint progress later ;)

[SUPERSHELBY]

Yeah, it sure does look alittle more hobby grade than before. The springs are different but I keep changing them every so often - I'm still looking for the right set at the moment.

oh man what are the plans for this one X? like after u finish it up on ebay for sale here or u keeping it???

I'm keeping this one if all goes well.

Yep, the suspension travel is more better by far and as far as smooth i haven't tested it yet but i'll find out soon.

@ Noturday and Supershelby - That $10K stack is just my paper wieght that I use at my office -lol - it's movie money that I bought out on Hollywood blvd. awhile back.:D

Oh yeah - Supershelby - I think it's the other way around - YOU OWE ME MONEY!! Now, GIMME MY MONEY!!!

j/k dude! :p


Here's an update on the chassis again: I've extended it already but I still need to add reinforcements underneath plus I need to make a long custom metal drive shaft for it too. After that i'll added the servo motor mod and then i'll start to paint.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r99/xmodification/New%20Projects%20pics/103_1493.jpg
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r99/xmodification/New%20Projects%20pics/103_1491.jpg

Btw, i'll be using a different set of rims and tires - custom offroad rims fitted with swampers.

[AJB32690]

Wow. Looking good! Are you planning on doing anything about the rear suspension or the articulation? What about the motor or other electronics? Get it finished so I can drool over it already! :D

[Lowrideit]

nice truck, but Im not here for that, Listen, just give me the cash now, mann, Why do you have just 10 grand sitten arounjd?
Nic truck, cant wait too see it finshed.

[supraboi97]

Its not even done yet and i like the body of the truck more than some of your other ones but if it is anything like your previous trucks it will be awesome

[adamcrawls]

hey x this one gonna have an interior

[taiwanesekid05]

Ingenious. Nice way to make a custom spacer.

[jabari]

Where did you get those rims/tires? Nice progress btw.

[XMODification]

Thanks for all the comments guys! The tires are Ashosima super swampers and the rims are from another truck model.

Well, I finally finshed all the work on the chassis and I also made a few more adjustments to it. The servo motor has been switched out with another one and it's fitted with a bigger spur gear for more speed/torque, all the orange pieces will be painted black later btw.

Here's a few pics of the chassis so far:

Thanks for watching guys! More updates to come soon.

[c1v1c]

Awsome man. The suspension system seems to work greatly well :D good job!

[XMODification]

Awsome man. The suspension system seems to work greatly well :D good job!


Thanks dude, the suspension should work even better once I get the body mounted on the chassis. Hopefully I can start the paint works tonight and i'll see how far I could get with that. For now I need to make a new floor for the bed since I had to cut it out to accomodate the servo plus it will also allow it to swivel easier witout rubbing on it.

I'll try to add a few more updates tonight if possible. :)

[bondo]

absolutely,positively and undoubtedly.........ULTRA SICK MAN!!!
that xhassis has got to be the most outrageously modified(working) chassis i have ever seen.(besides my modster of course wich didnt really work since it didnt turn very well....:lol: )

the body looks great and i cant even begin to imagine all of the other goodies your going to throw at it.

i'll be keeping a close eye on this one...

cheers bro,

[TheB1GDude]

Very cool dude! That servo steering mod looks and works really well! Looks like its going to be another excellent one off piece of custom work from the X-Man!

[mustanglover]

man whats next!
that amazing what you can do man. when this is done it is going to be a show stopper for off roading.

Thanks bro! Hopefully I don;t need to make any more adjustments to it ( if you look at the first pic to now - you can see what i mean -lol). Anyways, I'll try to fit in the interior ands made a few other little things here and there but all of those will be done after I get the old school paint job on.:nod:

Thanks Amigo! I'm glad the steering worked out pretty well - i would have been pretty upset if it didn't turn out the way it did -lol ( it sure took alot of work though).

man whats next!

Thanks dude! I'm not building it too much as a show stopper - it more for performance and durability - just ask B1G about the durability and quality of my work - he'll tell ya.:bigwink:

Thanks again for watching guys.

[mustanglover]

as what i meant is its going to be the next big xmod crawler anyone has seen.

[fieldfairy2]

Wow very nice. IT turns alot better than i thought. And i like the idea of getting a new battery than using the old one. Can't wait for the body.

[stangdude94]

dude cant wait till u post pics of the paint

[noturday]

very nice X, thats the best servo motor mount i've ever seen, and look, its got those same rims that i got from you and put on my hummer awesome chassis man, now its about time we see some paint :D

[XMODification]

Wow very nice. IT turns alot better than i thought. And i like the idea of getting a new battery than using the old one. Can't wait for the body.

Thanks dude! I might switch the battery holder to something else but i'll see how the body and everything turns out first before I do any other changes.

dude cant wait till u post pics of the paint

The paint will be coming up next.

very nice X, thats the best servo motor mount i've ever seen, and look, its got those same rims that i got from you and put on my hummer awesome chassis man, now its about time we see some paint :D

lol- I got another set of those rims with me but I still need to mod one to fit the xmods hubs.


No updates today - i'm just touching up the body abit and doing some light sanding to even out a few spot - I should start painting sometime tonight.

[xmodificationer]

wow I think you have the fastest servo crawler out there! Nice crawler man. I want it..

Here's couple progress pic on the body work that i'm doing at the moment: (it's not mounted yet - just a mock up for now)

I still have a few more details to add and finish off so there's alot more to come.

Thanks for looking guys!

[Stampedekid]

Haha X, that's insane. Nice video by the way.

[noturday]

Dear Lord X, it looks awesome even without paint, cant wait to see it with some. im suprised you still had room under the hood for the mock engine compartment in there. that ride height looks perfect

[fieldfairy2]

THat is very cool. Are you going to mount the truck bed to the rear so it articulates all the way? If you arn't you might want to raise the body. Otherwise it is freaking awsome!

[adamcrawls]

hey X i dont think your doing it right your suppose to drop the bed not raise it hahaha

[XMODification]

Haha X, that's insane. Nice video by the way.

Thanks dude!

LOL - I got alot of room for a few more things but I need to finish a few other things before I try to add in all those details. The ride height is exactly what I want it to be - I might have to widen the wheel wells just abit though.

hey X i dont think your doing it right your suppose to drop the bed not raise it hahaha

Thanks guys! The bed is attatched to the cab, because of the servo motor and the ride height I had to raise the bed a few cm in order to have space for the rear to articulate without being obstructed or hitting the bottom of the bed. I'm going for a more realistic look hence the ride hieght - it will be able to articulate more with a custom rear mount that i'll install.

More stuff to come soon.

[Hardcore racer]

very cool truck man.I cant wait to see more.

[Lowrideit]

That thing is coming along great! Wow Its so sick! It crawls so easily and smoothly, No struggle at all, And the steering goes so easily.
WOW!

[supraboi97]

If you dont mind me asking could you tell me where you got that battery holder it would help out alot but if not thats alright

[XMODification]

I got the battery holder from Radio Shack.


Thanks for the comments guys!

I did a few more detail work on the body so here's the pics so far:

Some of the details are not glued in yet - I still have to paint them and then I'll glue them in. (JUST A MOCK UP)

Thanks for watching guys!

[supraboi97]

Ok thanks and its not even painted yet and i think its already my favorite truck that you have made its looking really good

[adamcrawls]

What color do you have in mind??

The interior look s good but looks a bit like its leaning back a bit are you going to black out the back windows to?

[Ducroix]

Very nice

[Dr. Kustom]

WOW!!! That's some crazy work right there, X, is it gonna be 4WD? Are you gonna make a custom driveshaf for it? Anyway, keep up the great work!

[2wdpancar]

Hey, that truck looks good...
For the custom driveshaft, I know of a place that sells CF rods...if you want it, PM me..
:)

[XMODification]

Thanks for all the comments - I really appreciate them! :)

I was kinda busy this past weekend but I was able to get a few more detail work done and I have also put on the first paint coats (base color).

Here's a few pics of the project so far (nothing is glued in yet - it's just a mock up for now):

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r99/xmodification/New%20Projects%20pics/103_1547.jpg

I painted the interior and the engine plus I added a few more details to them. The front grille now has custom clear headlamps so it should look more realistic than just a LED sticking out front.

More updates should be coming soon.

[Stampedekid]

Oh wow! X, that is looking amazing. The gauges are even detailed, that is purely amazing!

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

X your like a god when you do your paint its awesome!I can't wait to see it done.Great job on the motor btw.

[Dr. Kustom]

This is looking AWESOME!!!! You're the god, X. Keep up the great work!

[djking]

wow, thats g8 keep the good work up!!!


looking to buy some xmods!!!!!for uk !!!!!

[Hardcore racer]

that is awsome man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job,cant wait to see more.:nod:

[123Vette]

looks amazing i love it i want it lol, howd you do the clear lights?

[XMODification]

I haven't done too much besides the detail works and a few lighting mods. The truck is about 60% finished so far - I still have to paint the truck with the last color, glue in all the added accesseries, install the lights, and then make the custom mounts for it.

Here's a couple pics of it so far:

More updates to come soon. Thanks for watching guys!


btw: I used a dremel to cut out headlighhts and I just glued hard plastic to the inside to get the clear headlamps.

[Donziikid]

I see body holes on the cab.. I predict a light bar. :)

[Dr. Kustom]

The details looks very good, but why you leave this part unpaint?
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q195/xmodslife/103_1554.jpg
Are you gonna add something over there? Like a mudguard?

It's obviuos that something is going there because on the other side it looks the same in the same spot.
BTW:x its coming along nicely.And how much would you charge to have that kind of work for i.e. me?

Thanks guys! That part was just a minor adjustment that i had to make because the wheels kept rubbing when it's turning. I used a dremel sanding bit to sand it down alittle so that it would work better - it'll be painted Brown anyways so it's not a big deal at the moment.:)

I see body holes on the cab.. I predict a light bar. :)


Thanks Donzi, the lights on top was one of the thing that i was working on. i'm not using individual LEDs for this instead i'm just using two LEDs and a piece of clear plastic branch from the model headligh lenses/windshield (the branch is the frame pieces that is disgarded after you cut the model parts off of it). It's was alittle challenging to get right but I think it'll work out nicely once I get the lights powered up.

[Donziikid]

Sounds interesting. Can't wait! :)

[noturday]

man it just gets better and better. is that a winch? or is that just for looks. i cant seem to find any more room under that body for another servo.

and were those holes in the blinkers for the (always talked about, but never done) blinker mod? seems like you're just goin all out on this one

[snowboi1289]

I dont really like the front of it(like the bull horns or whatever they are),and its TO CLEAN,chrome on trucks are supposed to get dirty,right ??

Love the truck..

[BumbleBee17]

thats lookin pretty slick yo. i wish i was as creative as most people on here!
im still workin on my one skyline body... lol by the time i get that one done people on here would have like 5 projects done.

[fieldfairy2]

That is looking awesome. I love the body. It turned out so nice. Overall so far 12 out of 10.

IMO, the bull horns looks pretty sweet.

[kungpow420]

are the magnets just to hold the hood closed or do they also keep the horns on either way that is a awsome truck.

[Dr. Kustom]

are the magnets just to hold the hood closed or do they also keep the horns on either way that is a awsome truck.

Before the bull horns was on the truck, the magnets was there already, so I think that it's just hold the hood tight.

[Pardalis]

Man it gets better everytime you update! The bull horns are a great touch I actually did laugh out loud.

[XMODification]

Thanks for all the cool comments guys!!

Ok guys, I was bitten by the Flu bug and I wasn't able to do much due the my condition. Anyhow - the truck is about 90% completed, the only things left are: making another drive shaft (the 1st one is about 2mm short), lock the diffs, make a new antenna, make some rocksliders for it, then the last thing i'll do is cover the chassis underneath alittle more to protect it from dirt and stuff.

Ok enough talking, here's the pics of the truck so far:

I changed my mind on the roof lights and the front park lights also - it was abit too much wires getting in the way. I'll have a short video clip of it in action when i get those other stuff completed.


Thanks for watching guys!

[Stampedekid]

That's B.A. X! Is that another winch I spy? Or is it just for looks? The paint looks amazing, the whole truck is a masterpiece! Keep up the good work.

[Titantaw12]

Thanks for all the cool comments guys!

I finally finished this truck - I locked the diffs, covered the underneath, painted the inside of the wheel wells, and I added the rocksliders on it aswell.

Here's a few pics of it for now:

Ok guys, I finally was able to upload a decent video - for some reason or the other I can't upload it to my youtube or photobucket account - it been giving me an error message for a couple hours now. Anyways, here's a video of it in loose dirt - I got a kinda long one to upload next but it really shows how capable this truck is on an offroad coarse:

Hope you guys enjoy watching it and Thanks for watching also.

Excellent vid and excellent vid!
My favorite of all time xmod truck!

Question: Does a longer wheelbase improve into rock crawling or shorter wheelbase???

thanks

thanks dude! I think it did help alittle in the sense that It could have crawled over stuff that was about it's own height without out loosing rear or front traction.

Here's another one that I made - I get to show what's under the hood in this one (almost to the end):

[clintr79]

I want that truck :nod: Well that the obvious who wouldn't,that thing is great.Keep up the great work.Lmk if you ever get tired of it.:bigwink:

[XMODification]

Well I took it for a test run in some mud and it got stuck plus alot of dirt/mud got into through the exposed driveshaft :nodno:. I finally took care of it while I was doing some other minor mods:

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r99/xmodification/New%20Projects%20pics/103_1666.jpg

It's a complete underbody skid plate to protect it from dirt/mud/sand and it will also help it on the rocky coarse (it can slide across stuff instead of getting hung up on bigger rocks).

Here's the last couple of pics of this baby and I think that's it for good :bigwink: :
