Harley's TCS X-Trail

I spent a solid 6 hours at the Dinky garage today. For the majority of the time we had at least two people building at all times. I don't think we took a single break the whole time.

We got the Roof rack finished up (tabs attached to hold the plaques). I through the first plaques on that came to mind. These little things swap out so quickly.

I also got the grill finished up today. While I finished trimming the body and mounting the light buckets Matt cut the grill mesh material from some mesh that he had been holding onto for just such an opportunity.

I still haven't got the Roof lights wired up, but here are a couple shots of the headlights. It is like 20 degrees outside and I am sure I look like goon to the rest of my apartment complex when I am out laying on the sidewalk taking these pictures but oh well :lol:

We hope to have the proto leafs up for $30 for a set of 4 with all the bushings and hardware. You'll have to drill the holes in them to mount them to the axle. Those holes are a secondary operation and jigs have to be made to drill them properly. But we can get you guys them without the holes much faster as protos. So we'll have those up first. Not sure of the eta and price of the final version as of yet.
 
YESSSSS!!!!!!!! I have had my xtrail for about 3 weeks now and have been looking at ways to mount leaf springs from a hilift kit.... now I don't have to. You guys rule "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"(TCS) Can't wait til they are out. (BTW this has to be the world's longest thread:shock::lol:)
 
Do you have the prototypes up on your site yet? I'm probably going to be buying another ax-10 kit, x-trail, hw kit, hpi rims and some mud slingers tomorrow and if you have the prototypes up i'll order them too. I've been searching TCS for leafs or leaf springs for a week or too now and haven't seen them.

Thanks
Justin

Please let me know when the prototypes are available to purchase.
