Default Expedition 4x4 Project I ( 1 of 3 truck proj.)

Ok guys, I really got into the 4x4 rigs and crawlers so i've decided to make a couple of them starting with a Ford Expedition. This one will be done pretty soon and but i'm not sure i'm not sure what type of motor i'll install just yet, Idk if I might use neo-mags in a stage 2 motor or if i'll use the servo swap mod again. Anyways, here's a couple pics of the projects on hand plus the Expedition ( Project I - 1 of 3):



^^^ Expedition on top, '75 Chevy Blazer in middle, and another GMC truck on bottom - all three 4x4 truck projects.

Here's the Expedition:>>

Custom swivel joint that extends the chasis also>>>




The body haven't be mounted on the chasis yet - the top pics was just a mock set up.

More updates to come soon!

Ah, could you repeat that, this time with proper grammar and punctuation...

It looks great Xmodification (you need a nickname). As for the motor and chassis, do something extreme, or a little out of the box. The servo motor mod is great, but you should try like, say, dual motors, or dual 180s. Imagine that, lol.

Keep up the good work...

Later,
RedSXmodder

I was wondering what did you use to tint the windsheild?

Great job so far.

Props on the Expedition man! I love the wheels...where'd you get them from? I really like it because it's somewhat similar to a long drawn out project I have going on. Nice job and I agree that the body should sit a little higher.

Lol are you going to drill a hole for the antenna too? It looks kind of clumsy hanging out of the window like that.

You better mount that body pretty high off the chasis or you will get rub and 0 flex.
