Crawler Project (w/ Merc3des)

Aoshimas FTW!!! I didn't widen my off-roaders stance. It does just fine.

Yeah, the wide stance is for mainly articulation.

Minus the lithium, and wires and some more stuff....

I don't feel like mega lifting it so it can articulate. The wide stance will give it more room without hitting the wheel wells.

It won't give it a whole lot more of room, but if you have just a little more articulation than stock you should be fine either way. My truck doesn't even use all the articulation it has, but if it did ever need too, it would rub the body I'm gonna put on it.

Yea thats all I worry about; crap articulation. Gotta do some hw, then I'll post updates

Pushing the tires out will put it into the wheel well's edge... Puts it more prone to high centering too. Tucking the tires in would be better...

Cut the wheel wells wider, or even separate the bed and body so that they articulate seperatly like I did on my S10, and Tyler777 did with his Cameo.

Okay, I may just sand out the wheel wells to the point where they look like the Titan front wells. If that doesn't work, It will be separated.

The Icelandic truck look is always BA... They don't lift the trucks, they cut them until things fit

What about me and my f-150 crawler...

Really nice project. Hope it goes well. Looking forward to more updates.

[merc3des]

Yeah I may even go Arctic Trucks wide body kit style. BTW I am Icelandic, and everyone there has converted toyotas and nissans

Also, did you know it was a business in Iceland to convert vans to 4WD, so they could reach construction sites up north.
