Infernal's dad had a 1st gen like that and they did a sweet build to it keeping originality in mind, ask him what he did with the thread so you can take a look at it.

I kept that in mind when I did mine, you will learn there are things that end up getting cut off.

Here is the question - Being on the site - the upgrade bug is really starting to bite  :)

Unbelievable truck!  :bowdown:

I say get another Toy to satisfy that upgrade bug of yours and modify the other truck to our heart's content.  You will enjoy the modification process just as much, and you will thank yourself several years from now. :twocents:

Absolutely beautiful truck my friend! :thumbs:

I'm with pretty much everyone else.  As minor mods as possible, keep it stock. 

If you wanna wheel, find a beater, or a at least a rougher truck, and thrash that one.

You can always argue that you won't wheel it that hard, that you won't take that line, but when you're wheeling, :pokinit: happens.  I'd cry if something bad happened to that truck if I owned it. (I may anyway :gap: )

Yeah mine got a few too many scratches on it in the end, of course all those rocks it ended up on didn't help much either.



Now he should understand what may happen. :rofl:
