Thanks guys!

Update:

Bye Bye, old xmods parts.


Hellooo, new GPM.

I also put spacers between the bearings and knuckles, to keep everything nice and tight, it also helps keep the dirt off the bearings.


Took out the xmods shocks and use cut down gold GPM springs and put it on top of the knuckles.

Thanks guys, as for the the GPM dogbones, I have hear they are too short for the lift kit, and they will just pop out when running, is that true? If not, then I'll definitely getting a set.

Update: Re-design the PCB area. It was kinda messy earlier, with all those wires sticking out. So now I have made the PCB sit lower, and made a case for the PCB and for the other side, I used a flat piece of styrene to hide all the wires. This way it looks better, and also help save some space for the interior.

Thank you for the great feedback guys! The wheel wells came with the model kit, but i extended it, made it wider by using styrene and putty.

Update: Start to work on the interior.








Interior carpet.




Relocated the power switch.

The build quality of this truck so far is simply awe-inspiring. The attention to detail is spot on, excellent job!

Thanks guys!

Update: Build a few different types of fog lights, let me know which one ya like the best.

Type 1:

Type 2:

Type 3:

I personal think type 3 looks the best for this project.

And here a little something I have been working on... can't show much since I'm only working on 1 wheel arch.

Thanks guys, at first, I like the type 3, but the more I look, the more I like the type 2, so I went with the type 2.

Update: I made up my mind and went with the type 2 fog lights. I also added more details on the lense and clear coat it.



Then I sand down the case to get rid of those part tree tabs, and drilled a hole for LED. ( I will be re-painting the case silver. )



And here's a little teaser.
