[darkendblades]

oh man that looks good and it looks kinda like another bronco.

[fieldfairy2]

Wow, that is gonna be so cool. darkenblades is right it does look like a bronco. ANy special plans? paint, chassis and crawler wise.

[Dr. Kustom]

Thanks, for the model, you can have fun guessing it, lol. The paint you'll find out when you know what model it is. The motor is gonna have a HS-55, tires are super swamper tires. Have fun guys.

[Lowrideit]

Scout maybe?
Idk can barley tell.

[greenday]

I disagree, that looks like a Hilux, because Airwolfie made an SSMT Hilux on Scale4x4and it looked like that and was molded in that color...but I don't know...looks good though!

[Dr. Kustom]

I think greenday is right...

[c1v1c]

Nice hilux! cant remember alot of xmod hilux :S is there even one???

[Dr. Kustom]

I think this should be the first ever xmod hilux, lol.

[c1v1c]

Great now that we guess that its an hilux, do you mind posting better pictures up? :P

Sweet Like ur rims selection.

[Dr. Kustom]

Thanks to Noturday's deepdish rims tut.

[imnotmikal]

I'm pretty sure Xmodification did a Hilux lowrider

Look's good though. Paint plans?

[Dr. Kustom]

Yea, X did a lowrider hilux before, but this model i'm doing is a older version.
Here's X's lowrider hilux:

They are different, and for the paint, it's a secret.

[noturday]

awesome truck dude, cant wait to see what you have in store for it, and i'm glad to hear my tut helped out with some awesome rims like those, they look great. keep us posted on updates

[fordman239]

lookin good, i like it, dumb question, may have been answered, not sure, why is it taped together like that? but overall, looks great so far, lovin those rims.

[fieldfairy2]

Wow that is coming along nicely. Nice rims too. It seems to me your swampers are bigger than normal. My swampers seem so small to these other crawlers and monsters,

[Dr. Kustom]

Thanks, but I think all the swampers are the same size, lol. It's just the matter of how you take the picture, imo.

About the tape is there.....because I'm working on the wheelwall, I'm making the wheelwall bigger, so when it flex, the tires won't rub the body.

Finished one side.

[fordman239]

oh, wow, it looks good. love the rims, once again.

[jabari]

Looks like it is coming along nicely, keep up the good work.

[XMODification]

Put back the 1st set of rims - they're more suitable for a better offroad look.

I think you're the only one that can rival my building skills in truck models so far - you've come along way since you first started building these trucks - Excellent work so far bro! :nod:

Thanks X, I'm gonna put back the first set of rims.

[Lowrideit]

Wow that looks really nice, How many sets of big tires do you have like that!? Haha,
What are they, look like Super Swampers?

Hey! Aren't you forgetting a lot of people on this forum and a lot more! Lol...I agree with X though, first rims look better...

[AJB32690]

Looking good dude, keep up the good work!

[Dr. Kustom]

Thanks for the comments. Little update on the interior.
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q195/xmodslife/Picture011.jpg

[xmodkidd33]

Looks great so far. Are any scale items (roll cage, extra gas tanks, winch, etc.) in order for this yellow beastie?

[Dr. Kustom]

I'll keep this one sample, you'll see why when it's finish.

Small update: Finished sanding both wheelwalls, now the swampers can fit inside the wheelwalls. I also change back to the first set of wheels.

LOL! Thanks.

In the 2nd pic which is this one,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q195/xmodslife/Picture013.jpg
the rear is lower than the front, because I haven't mount the rear yet. But now, I'm back with another update, right now the truck completely mount, but I think I might redo the front mount. Anyway, here's the update pic, enjoy.

[fordman239]

lookingreat so far, how are you going to do that interior, or are you?

[fieldfairy2]

THat is lookin and coming along nicely. Stiffer springs in the back might help with the rear sagging. Your swampers still seem bigger? Can you measure them for me,in cm? THose rims look more off road like. Did you have to use the wide axels in the race sus. kit to keep the wheels from hitting the top sus. plate? or was it the deepdish rims? Overall very good.

[c1v1c]

Keep it up!

hey fieldfairy i think i know why they look larger, u stretched urs on slammed rims...so yeah he put swampers on a car rim.

[noturday]

looks great so far, nice work on those fenderwells

[fieldfairy2]

Good point c1v1c. Like noturday said, those wheel wells look really good. Nice and clean.

[Dr. Kustom]

Yea, I'm gonna do the interior.

Thanks guys, the deepdish rims work/fit pretty good on the chassis, it doesn't rub the chassis/body, and I didn't use the wide axels on it, the wheels is about 3.8 cm tall.

nice job, where you get the wheels and tires?

[Dr. Kustom]

nice job, where you get the wheels and tires?

The rims are custom made, and the tires are aoshima super swamper tires, I got it from the aoshima 4runner model kit.

Mounted the servo, I used plastic, lol, since I don't have any sheet aluminum. Also make a rock crawling course.

Very nice. Did you use toothpicks for the detail work?

[Dr. Kustom]

Very nice. Did you use toothpicks for the detail work?


Yea, I used toothpicks to do that.

Since I burnout my servo, so I have install another HS-55, test it out in the snow today, and I end up with a burnout servo again, I got so ****ed off. So, I took off the servo and put in a new rear driveline case and a motor from my GMC, now the truck have a good amount of speed and torque. I took it outside for another run in the snow, here's so pics of it.

What motor is in it now?

[taiwanesekid05]

Hmm... So you burnt out your servo too... Do you know any way to fix it without buying a new one?

[Dr. Kustom]

What motor is in it now?

It's a custom motor, it have BB can, Neo, and a stage 1 arm.

Hmm... So you burnt out your servo too... Do you know any way to fix it without buying a new one?


Sounds like you burn your servo too, and yes, I burnout 2 HS-55, I'm trying to find out how to fix it.
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q195/xmodslife/Picture035.jpg

[fieldfairy2]

I like the interior. THanks for the measure ment. My swampers are a bit larger at about 3.9-4cm. Could you post the deep dish rim tut? i can't find.(not to get off topic.) Overall it is coming along very well.

[Stampedekid]

Nice xmod4life! Too bad you burnt out two.. How much do they cost, my LHS has them for $50.

[texan_idiot25]

He did a yellow Hilux back in the day as well, I'll try and dig it up.

But looks really good so far, real nice work. :nod:

[Dr. Kustom]

Nice Lowrider

Hmmm....it's not a lowrider, it's a highrider, lol.

I don't know if I can post link here, but I'll send you a PM.

Nice xmod4life! Too bad you burnt out two.. How much do they cost, my LHS has them for $50.

I total spend $30 on 2 of them.

But looks really good so far, real nice work.

This is the only hilux I'm doing for a xmod project, lol.

Update: Well...it's hard to keep a secret, so I'm posting some pics on the un-finish paintjob, this is only the 1st coat, so the color doesn't comes out too nice yet, and the weather over here is not good to paint, it's snowing over here, so I put the paintjobs on hold for a bit.

Well....it's hard to keep a secret, and X already know what I'm doing, so no need to hide this anymore, I'll post thread on RCX later.

Since X know what I'm gonna do, then I'll update this thread faster and post more pics. Here's some.

[xmodkidd33]

I'd hit it.

The skid plate is awesome! What's it made out of?

-Best use of the Barricade push bar yet.

Also want to try something new, the fog light.

[Donziikid]

What would the fog light look like under the turn signal?

Lookin' good! :)

[Lancer_Man]

Two fog lights would look good, but I wouldn't put just one on there.

IMO. :)

[In the same place you have 'em on there right now.]

[Stampedekid]

Awesome! Looks kinda like the Tamiya Toyota High-Lift especially with the board. Is that the design you had in mind?

Thanks guys, yea, it's gonna be a Tamiya High-Lift Hilux (the xmod version). And it's gonna have 2 fog lights and never try to put them under the turn signal, because this truck is base on the High Lift Hilux.
