A superb effort - great looking truck, glad you finally found the XL chassis! Patience pays off in the end.

Did you pick up the CR bodies on eBay from A&L?

Thanks! I started to doubt if one would ever turn up. They have become very hard to find now.

This forum has been a bit of a ghost town lately. I hope things liven' up soon!

I spent at least a year waiting for a mk1 XX4 graphite chassis - the longer the wait the more you appreciate it when its finally on the car!!!!

Update -New pictures of how she currently sits. I still have not painted a body for this build. Other than that, she is basically done. I actually have more vintage upgrades I could add, but for now I like it how it is. Any suggestions always welcome.

I have NIP rear arms with the Silver lettering, and the correct grey tie rod ends, I just haven't gotten around to putting them on yet.

I made some small changes and updates to this truck. Still haven't gotten to painting a body yet.

Wow! That is one of the greatest compliments I have ever received. Thank you so much. A lot of work goes into the builds as well as the build threads. I was inspired by the builds from Jamin. Great to hear my work has had a positive effect on someone.

This is very small but key change I just made. I've been looking for the larger e-clips in the correct gold finish to match the look of the smaller ones. It took me a long time but I finally found them. I really like how they look.

Below is a before and after on the rear pins.
