yea i only had hot glue i ran out of other stuff and if i use a razor to shave it out ill cut into the plastic i got another one made just need to get the motor mounted and hidden

DOUBLE POST!! so here is some referance pics of my salter before i glued the whole thing together....





its kinda rough i know but im going to shave it all even and smooth when its ready for paint now for my workin salter so far.. i decided that tryin to figure out how to get the belt mounted was to much for my taste at the moment.. i figured that when the truck moves forwards it would knock all the salt to the rear and funnle down the shaft so here are pics!!

do the plows work well

Yup, they are metal washers, to make the plow heavier, and plow snow easier.

do the plows work well

Here's a video of it in action. http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q...Picture198.flv

lol wouldn't that slow down your truck? or at least make it harder to drive?

I like the way xmod4life plow looks. Idk why but it looks more real on the f150

yea it does i was thinking about taking a peice of metal from my work and making a plow from that but they are all to thick. the thinnest metal we have in aluminum cans ..... i think ill try the washers trick

[Dr. Kustom]

If you can't find metal washers, there's still another way to make your truck goes smooth when plowing snow. Make 2 mounts instead of 1, one mount support the top of the plow and the other mount support the bottom.

[GearHeadV8]

How did you make the bottom mount

[Dr. Kustom]

How did you make the bottom mount

I used thin clear plastic from the xmods body kit package, cut out the shape, drilled holes, painted it flat black, and attech it to the chassic and the snow plow.

[GearHeadV8]

thats really cool can you look at my snow truck thread and tell me how it is like good or bad

[youngxmodder]

how did you mount the metal wire to the chassis of the truck.

[crawlin duckies]

ill have to make a 2nd one and use your idea. looks like it will hold up better...

YAY!! finally finished the salter, got the motor mounted, here are pics!!




and the link to a video... yay videos

[GearHeadV8]

Um LOL looks rest why not flip of t
And put it on the chute so you get more ground clearence

[Dr. Kustom]

Hey, that working salter is really great, but 1 question, is there enough room for the salt to get out? Once again, great work!

yea there is about 1/4 inch space between the chute and the rotor

the body isnt on the chassis its just sitting on the chair.. with it on the chassis the box sits maybe a good half inch or so...

and now for my SNOW TEAM!!!! if you need a road plowed, or even salted. Call us..... (and now for pics.. YAY!!)




left is the working salter truck... all it needs is a plow and its good to go.. (gonna use xmod4life's idea) right one is a dummy salter with plow..

and what if you get stuck and the plow and push the snow away around you?? what if the salter cant melt the ice for you??? you bring in this bad boy in and pull your puny butt out!!

(and yes its deisel baby!!!)
