Oh yeah sorry, the color is the Tamiya light gunmetal, its much lighter in RL, photo was taken in low light with a flash. I dont like the color  Looks better than blue with red wheels though!

Tip # 62 - Body lift Here's a simple body lift, unscrew the metal L-brackets that the cab scews into & place them above the spot you just removed it from. Face the L-bracket up. For the bed you just need a spacer about an inch. For added stregnth, drill another hole for the bed mounts & use 2 spacers per side. The side steps will need to be removed & the standoff trimmed or raised. |

Has anyone discovered better tire option. I need a little better traction for all around trail riding. I dont want to fit MOABs they are too big and awkward. I tried the stock TLT tires and rims and remembered why I got rid of them in the first place.

I narrowed Geos and took out a section of tread to reduce the tire so it'd fit a 1.9 rim.  They're just a tad shorter than regular Geos and there's no huge 2.2 wheel crammed in them. | |

It would work, but you would have to change the switch from a two-position to a three-position. Also, you would have to play around with the mechanical linkadge to make everything work properly. The how is up to you. |

 They look like 49's, and I had to lift the body about 1/2 inch to make it look right and clear the fenders.Also, I put the coil springs back in the rear shocks. After about a month, the back end started to sag. | |

Anything with a 3 position 3rd channel should work. Spektrum has been the most popular choice from what I've seen. I had a 8 channel I got from my uncle but it was too hard to program and use that radio.

Neither of those work. And your signature needs to be smaller.

will this setup work? novak xrs / trinity 4200 zap pack / Futaba S3010 (shifting) / Airtronics 94358Z is there a more eco friendly set up....like do i really need a 200oz servo in this thing? and is there a cheaper servo to use for shifting...and do i need 90oz of torque for that?....thanks btw i am asking this because i am about to order my high lift and all the requirements.... Thanks again |

Maxx shocks will fit the factory mounting hardware, and give you more downtravel. Oil leakage isn't any worse than the grease leakage  I use a 3003 standard servo for shifting, and a 90 ouncer for steering. No worries with either one. |
