::Gagak Rimang:: SKUNKWORKS - RC4WD Trail Finder 2

[IVIaarten]

Aren’t those tires way too big?

[soilwork]

Nice build!!!!

[Gagak Rimang]

So I finished mounting up the new wheels and tires.

In my opinion, while the Growlers are mean looking, the stock combo has a 'farm' look to it and has its place.

What do you guys think?

Before


After

I said it once already and sat it again, looks great and love the tire upgrade. For sure gives it a attitude for sure. Maybe one day you can be done with the upgrades, no wait where's the fun in that uh.

Finally got some time off work to drive SKUNKWORKS out.

Is there such a thing as being 'done' when it comes to upgrades?

The little postman had a little gift for me today. And while I was sitting watching tv, SKUNKWORKS drove right up to me.


Took them Aisin and rear hubs out of their packaging.


Here are the SSD wheels and Pitbull Growlers with the stock nut.


Here they are with the hubs.



Stock wheels and tires with stock nut.


Them with the hubs.



Guess which I went with?

Stock setup!


Something about the contrast of the hubs against the white wheels and the stance of the vehicle in general.

What do you guys think? Let me know!

I believe this was added on. Just use silver paint marker and paint along the raised areas of the grill. Eazy peezy!

That's my plan. But yours looks factory perfect so I didn't know if they were made that way.

I bought it from a seller who made it a shelf queen. You can't really see it in the photos but the silver paint was brushed on.

All that's left is to paint in the details and the metal details.

Anyway, I need opinions from you guys! Do I leave it looking new or should I weather the interior?

Beautiful job on the interior. Your rust work is also awesome!

What do you do when you are waiting parts from RC4WD to arrive?

You tinker!

Mail on a Friday?
What a way to welcome the weekend!

Let's see. What do we have here?

Oh! Roll bar, window guard and a roof rack!
After a few measurements and some drilling, here they are installed.

Sweet sweet CChand goodness! They're expensive but boy do they look good!

Now SKUNKWORKS is ready to load some stuff up!

There's still some things left to do before she is finally done!

So tomorrow, SKUNKWORKS Mk. II will finally be going for her proper maiden drive out in the trails.

Prepped her for tomorrow and I just can't resist taking another picture!

SKUNKWORKS maiden drive today was interesting to say the least.

While the lowered look is awesome, when faced with moderately difficult terrain, it turned out to be quite a challenge (duh!) due to the ride height.

But no matter! The look of dirty tires and muddy bumpers are the shiznit!

Enough rambling! Pictures speak a thousand words!

Driving up to meet with the rest of the group.

SKUNKWORKS and Amanda joining up with rest.

Leading the convoy.

Back at the garage and making a general mess of it. Someone's gotta clean that.
