[GearHeadV8]

light bar as the one n the f150 bk..and i need the light piece that comes with the baricade bk the flasher

[skim4food]

dude that looks so clean with it dualies, and the plow looks sick, it all together makes it look mean in a good way

[nitemeer]

the one on bed

or the one in the front? i'm a bit confused still :P

I don't know how much of a difference it makes on an Xmod, but duals on a real truck basically act like slicks in snow or mud. I'm not quite sure why, but the traction decreases with duals.

It might not make a difference on something this scale, but IRL it does. Other than that, I'm digging it. Although you might need a little more weight to actually move snow and get traction.

They sell flashing LED assemblies at RS, just swap out the LED for an orange one. That's what I did for TheXmodifyer's service truck.

I've experimented with staples in tires to act as spikes to get some more traction. Try it!

lol i mean the light piece in the baricade bk the flasher. the part that goes into the light bar on top of the car. the flasher unit.

@ skim thanks man . i like the turn out. soon ill make a tut on how to make the duallys.

As for the weight i was thinking about doing a battery relocation and putting it in the bed. but after the snow and all i dont want to be stuck with a box in the bed. so ima go old school. batteries lol. im gonna put some AAs in the bed. and im gonna do a 6th cell so ill put that in the rear or the front. depends on where it is needed

@xmodkid.. thanks im going to call them tomarrow to see if they have the ZO6 xmod. if they do im gonna go buy it and ill look for the flasher. thanks i thought they only sold leds

not really. concidering snow plows are all dullys. it has to do with weight distribution, and the quality of your tires. not how many wheels.
