Actually the front is high due to the bent springs. I need to replace them some day but they work so well. But yeah, it still has a saggy rear, just like my 1:1.

Looks good man!

Those hilift bodies have tons of great detail but your are right about the side views, they are better suited for a Clod body.

Looks good Dean

Looks great man. Why do I always get blamed for destroying everything?

Couldn't say it better myself.

But it will look even better all scratched up.

I'm going to make another front because I really don't like this one. Not sure why but the new one will be really similar. Besides, this one isn't very strong either. If you want it it's yours. Just pay for shipping. I'll even bead blast it for you.

Thanks Griz, you are making me blush.

Call me in the AM, I am home from Chino land and looking to play!!

T_Boy · 03-23-2008, 10:35 AM

Those XL's look great under that yota with the large wheel wells. I really like the compound and look of them under my hybrid with a clod body, but I need to lift the body a little bit so they will clear the small fender wells. Other than that great looking progress on the rig. Keep it up.

chino63 · 03-26-2008, 12:01 AM

Since the new body has been devirginized already, I had to do something else besides rebuild the truck. My front bumper was annoying the hell out of me so I thought I'd finally finish the new one. Also finished up the rear and mounted them up for some pics. Still debating on a stinger.... Probably won't happen.

The winch mount is a bit off center but the way I drive, it won't matter after a few runs.

Here's the rear. Wanted to hide the rear winch a bit more than the last one. Also a bit more side protection too.

Now to make pretzels out of them!

Hey Dean, how you like the Trail Docs? What are you running for foams?

Here you go: Testing the Trail Doctor XL's

chino63 · 03-26-2008, 12:45 AM

A few more pics.

Trikster · 03-26-2008, 02:29 AM

Very, very nice... Makes me wish my Bruiser was not at nice as it is...I would bash the hell out of it, it looks so good doing it.

1BadJeepBruiser · 03-26-2008, 06:22 AM

New bumpers looks great Dean

Some awesome photos in there too. I cant tell which it looks better with, the XLs are nice and narrow but the crushers are just awesome looking in general.

Thanks, I'm having the same dilema. XL's are awesome but the Crushers are way sweet too. I'll have to flip a coin or spin the wheel before every trail ride.

hairyguy4 · 03-26-2008, 02:46 PM

you could always build an exact replica and run a set on each truck

lol
I've never been to keen on the xl's but they look good, although crushers rock
