Default Cadillac Escalade

Couldn't resist picking this up @ the 2014 ECSC swap meet




Not sure what direction I'm gonna go with this build. Could go for the bagged & slammed look, or could lift it and make it more off-road friendly. Here's what it would look like with 40 series rims (even with these larger wheels it looks a little undersized for the bagged look):




Could attempt to make some custom rims bigger diameter:



Or could go for more of an off-road build:

Try hpi blast wheels. They are like 4.5ish. Check out losi 420 force wheels even though they are 4".

The off road look looks the best, although you'll scrape the front bumper a lot!

Yeah defiantly need some sort of metal stinger or bull bar if I go off-road with it, poor body won't last long without one.
