| 801Ryan's Gelande D90
I thought I'd share this Project with you guys its gonna start off as a look what I put together so far type of thing. but hope to keep adding and tweaking things. My buddy Mr. LowBudget picked up this D90 in early May and after shimming, Greasing and making his wife paint and age the body he ran it a few times and moved on (Just like I knew he would) so I quickly traded my Wraith off to him I picked it up as a slider with a Holmes Motor, FXR, Castle BEC and SCX10 Shock hoops up front and SCX10 shocks on all 4 corners When I got it home I threw a JR9100T and some Flat Irons on it First of many orders to RPP I picked up the RC4Wd Rear Swing Away Bumper, a Trasharoo, rubber mirrors and Emblem set Next Order from RPP was the RC4WD ARB bumper. I also painted the stock interior. Next up a Winch that I picked up from the LHS, Scale Plates From Krawler Koncepts, an order to RPP for the ARB banner and Steering guard. I Also removed the grille and painted flat black behind it. The steering Guard had some fitment issues also, the bumper bracket and guard wanted to occupy some of the same property but I adjusted the guard with a grinder and all is good Then I tried like 6 sets of tires to see what looked good Added some Mesh behind the grille and added some cool emblems. Picked up a Snorkle and Cage from RCMODELEX I had to trim and rebraze the ladder to work with the RC4WD Bumper and bolted it all up with Locked up RC scale 3mm bolts And that gets you up to this weekend when I got my Mud Flaps, Antenna, Gmade Wheels, CI foams and installed the TSL's So I've had it approx. 2 months and I love it !!! It really is a super fun truck to drive on a trail Only a couple Cool trail pictures so far. Next plan is to pick up some SDI rubber fender flair, Install the inner fenders. |

More D90 love! Fantastic! This is inspirational for me, because I've been procrastinating on finishing my D90 build, particularly the body. This is helpful, though! Thanks for sharing.

Ryan, I am loving your 90! The stance and color is amazing! Do your rig a favor and order some Locked up lug nuts for those wheels. I have the same set and the lug nuts take the beefy Gmade's to the next level |

All over it I couldn't find info on hardware size so I waited till I got the wheels here. I see they are the 2.5 mm. Did the stock screws work fine for you ? or do I need longer/ shorter screws? Ill pick up some of their new Pro hubs, with the new tools for them while I'm there. While I've got you here, I'm in search of an American flag to hang in my shop after seeing yours Awesome. | |

Ryan I screwed the factory screws through the factory nuts and ran them through the back of the rim. It was tight but there was plenty of thread to mount. Use a little thread lock to |

I Finally got this heavy pig out on a trail this last weekend and have a few pictures to share. The SDI fenders should be here any day now and the LURC lug nuts got ordered last night. I also see the RC4WD Mojave parts are starting to surface so far the bumper tree is available but still on the hunt for the bumper lens to fill in the giant holes in the ARB bumper. On to the Pics Broke out the sand ladders to help bridge a couple bumps that were just a tad to much. There's a lot of weight transferred to that tire and the CI foams seem to be working great More sand ladder fun. Might have to weight the front down a tad but overall it was fun as hell to have out on the trail |

I received the SDI flairs today and they look great! We'll worth the wait. They say the first cut is the toughest. Since I didn't paint the body and don't have any touch up paint. I decided to trim the stock flairs down to the last little ridge so if any touch up was needed I could use black paint. Test fit I used super glue to attch them. I'm going to work on shaping them a little more tomorrow. They shape well with a Dremel and sanding drum. Looks like I got a little wave in the front fender. . |
