[mudslinger]

[Stampedekid]

Why are you calling it Titanic? Are you gonna throw it in a lake when you are done? J/k. Can't wait for some progress pics.

[mustanglover]

no, he might mess up on it or, crash into a huge icecube (dont ask) and it will sink into the ground some how.


but i hope it all works out..

[mudslinger]

because its gonna be big like the titanic but not out of scale

Good Luck

[Stampedekid]

Try not to double post. What are those big tires in the back? Those the ones you plan on using?

[mudslinger]

sry on the double post...and yea ima use them prolly or the bf good rich tires

[c1v1c]

Those are iroks! If you plan on crawling, I dont suggest those.

Edit: i think you got urself the wrong bearings...

[mudslinger]

yea i just was lookin at them and i think they are wrong..and nah i dont plan on crawling i just plan on enjoying it in the house

[ling427ttvette]

That makes me wish my Titan or F150 body was here already.. ****it.

I just got done throwing a lift kit on my chassis.. let me know if you have problems with your rear squatting after putting it on.

[mudslinger]

just mocked up my offroad suspension

[fordman239]

love those bfg's that ur gonna put on it, they look like they would go great, but a body lift aint gonna be the only mod ur gonna have to make, probably some mods to the body, like shaving.

[mudslinger]

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n197/14_megged_you/DSC00110.jpg

yea i see but heres 2 more with the body lift ...ima work on my irok rims now and take a break from it...gonna shave some of it and paint it soon

[xmodkidd 3-3]

Looks like it's gonna be insane. Take your time with it and don't screw it up and you'll be set.

[stangdude94]

looks sweet man

cant wait to se it done

[mudslinger]

thanks...im still thinking on color...id like to have like a airbrush design on it..but i have zero experience with it and dont even have one

[xmodkidd 3-3]

Look around the internet for painting tips/tutorials. Briansmodelcars.com is a good site, and Bondo here is an amazing painter. Talk to him if you want. I would suggest leaving it red or painting it black, I haven't seen a black one yet. Here's a picture of my Titan before it got destroyed. Don't ask. Yes, that is paint, I flicked it onto the truck with a stiff-bristled brush.

-Sorry to hijack this thread a bit, I'm just offering my ideas.

[mudslinger]

hmmm having some trouble figuring out how to mount the rims with the iroks to the truck...i just am leaving the iroks on there for the looks...i have a set of tsl's and boggers i got off ebay ...

[mudslinger]

update....mounted my slammed rims on the iroks...they look really good and are actually fitting it correctly...i will post pictures as soon as my camera batteries are finished charging...

the part i need imput is with the wheel wobble ive read some of the tutorials and tried the wire in the knuckle and it works very well but when i hit the gas the doesnt even spin the wheels any suggestions?

[fieldfairy2]

YOu can buy some small washers to stick between the wheel and the knuckle(the knucle is screwed in but you lose alittle performance,friction) Or you put the washer inbetween the knuckle and knucle cover(use for crawling)

Here is a tut for the wheel wobble.

Otherwise the truck is coming along nicely.

[stang_racer]

ya looks good just need alittle body lift and should be good, lol that thing could float on water with thos tires by the looks of it lol

[mudslinger]

you are sick!!! nah jp but nice titan!

[BodyCustoms]

I really like both of your titans

[mudslinger]

you are sick!!! nah jp but nice titan!

i what can i say i love to play hard with both of my trucks

[mudslinger]

i just got my new super swamper boggers in the mail to put on the titan...they are plastic like the iroks but they arnt as hard...also if you put silicon on them very lightly and then put them in the heat the silicone up...im using a heat gun but a hair dryer works fine...and then put them in a freezer the quick change in hot to cold helps keep the silicone durable so it doesnt come off when driving it

heres some pictures i just snapped

[fieldfairy2]

wow, looks cool. I l ike the boggers but they are alittle to big for my truck. I will be waiting for more updates.

[Stampedekid]

I thought the IROKS were just hard rubber....Project is coming along nicely so far.

I got a black titan its a police truck..but it is black.:bigwink:

[Lowrideit]

Dam, you got the exact thing Im looken for!
Haha if your looking too sell it at anypoint, Pm me!
But that thing is sick man! Put the big ones on there,
4WD??

[2wdpancar]

Looks good so far bud.:)
Xmodkidd- it's sad you had to paint that, why not do the real thing?
That's why EvoT's were made.....:bigwink:

[Hardcore racer]

lookin good so far man.Cant wait to see more.

[mudslinger]

been really busy so i havnt been able to work on my rims and tires or anything too much but heres a quick sneak peak of a rim and tire set up mocked up...
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n197/14_megged_you/DSC00123.jpg

next update will have the rims and tires on the chassis...and gonna see what cutting i need to do with the body to make em fit or if i need to make a larger custom body lift...
also should have paint done by next week depends on work this weekend...

[fordman239]

those tires are huge! but good work, maybe you can repaint it, and put an extra body lift on it.

[fieldfairy2]

THat is gonna look mean with those tires. I like the black rims a little better with the red. Are those tires soft? Well hope it turns out.

[Scionbeave]

hey man that thing looks awesome and you should definately keep the black rims on there.good kuck with the paint and post pics as soon as its done.

[xmodkidd33]

Xmodkidd- it's sad you had to paint that, why not do the real thing?
That's why EvoT's were made.....:bigwink:

Dry weather, and a lack of fun activities, i.e. boredom, lead me to that. My mom yelled at me afterwrds for getting brown paint on my walls and blinds afterwards.:D

The truck looks sweet, experiment with some different body lifts and such and you'll find what you need to fit those tires.

[mudslinger]

yea as of right now truck is painted just working on some little touches on it and then gonna clear coat it...ill post pictures when it is complete either tomorrow or wednesday..and as for the body lift i have to definitely experiment with some things to help lift it...and the chrome rims are now painted black will have pictures up when its completely finished

and update on the actual truck not the body...i need some imput...right now i just have a stage 2 radio shack motor in it...and recently the steering has turned to **** it will stick one direction or now even turn the other...

update: not finished painting but getting an idea of the paint scheme...
