Ok, here is a link to my truck... this mod has the Swamper rims on it, I drilled a hole thru the middle to reach the lock nut. On the back side of the rim I super glued a stock Xmod truck rim to it. (just look good at the photos) I like this way better because the xmod rim makes it a lot more stable and less woble then the axle stub extension mod. Just use some strong super/ca glue and let it cure for a day or two before messing with it.. also sand the contact surfaces good before glueing.

Here is the axle stub extension mod.. also good, you decide which way you want to go.

ok so i was gonna try the axle extension, but even doing that i still think the tires will rub because they wont reach the rims. Im using the black rims from the xmod kit. i tried gluing two of the black rims together but i think it would look retarded becase the inside rim will have the wheel nut and the outside one wont. idk if u cant understand ill post pics. lmk what u think! thanks

Look really good at the photo from my Truck thread I posted for you... That is exactly what I did, and I like it a lot.. I drilled a hole through the outside rim big enough for the Hex driver to fit. But I used chrome rims, so it blends together good and hard to notice. Those are really the best 2 ways I know of.

Im selling sets of TSL Boggers and TruXus MT Swampers with the factory rims in them...... see here... http://www.xmodsource.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19994

If you want a set, I can make the dual rims for you for no extra charge and send them to you already done. $10.00 + shipping

This is the tires and you can see the rims... they drill out very nicely.

?? Not sure what your trying to say here... LOL..

Anyway. I use PLASTRUCT Plastic Weld (General Purpose Plastic solvent cement)

You can use regular super glue (Krazy) or get med, strong CA glue from your LHS

Lock tite super glue works great for this application, I have used it and been running the same set up for almost a year.

either or.. I use the Krazy glue with the brush.. sand the two sides that will attach together a little, then put some glue on both sides, let it set for about 15 seconds or so, then attach them.. put somthing on top of them for some pressure to hold them together.. leave over night. The next day, coat the seem where the parts were glued togther with a coat of super glue. let dry again over night.. and BAM..

@XXX,if you're looking for a foolproof way to mount the rims then do something like this.









no need to put a hole in the pretty rim and no glueing needed.
completely removable,fully functional and oh so pretty...

screws won't fail over time like CA glue and if your bearings crap out you simply remove the screws and the wheels come apart.
use the aluminum rims and you have a truly worry free combo.
if you align the 4 screws directly across from each other and count the turns on the screws it will self center and you won't have to balance the tire.
the only catch is that you have to be able to fit the Xmod rim inside the "pretty"rim.
