how to lift your truck easily, 100% undo-able, cheap and cool
 
Difficulty: 3/10

Materials you'll need:

And old rc, radio or whatever antenna
your xmods truck, obviously
a saw, dremel or anything that cuts brass
some large screws recycled from my old gen1 supra

i haven't got any pics about the making of :(

1st step: cut the antenna to the desired height you want to lift the truck up. do this until you have 5 pieces.

2nd step: remove the front clip of the chassis and the rear one from the body

3rd step: grab the large screws and put the pipe you cut out previously, and screw it to the chassis through the clips (the body clip would be a little tricky)

4th step: put all the screws in place and enjoy!

here are some (bad) pics about my brand new Cayenne

Sounds like a good idea, but if you had pictures it would be alot better.

I used a hollow aluminum rod I picked up from a hobby shop. Cost about 80cents for a foot. Used a pipe cutter for plumbing pipes to cut them. Using this tool was the best to get straight even cuts, no mess and easy to use. Used longer 3mm screws could not find 2mm ones.

sorry, but i couldn't use my pc in all the weekend. toomuchtodo i have a pipe cutter too, but the pipe cutter had got a very big gap to put in a small pipe on it.

Man, that is one beutiful Porsche! Your lift mod seems really clean. Where did you buy the porsche? My goal is to have both the xmod and mini z version.
