dovetailing front clip on the crew cab, need badass ideas

[obijuan]

ok guys, i know its lame but im going to nationals up in montana and i just got new meats. theyre surely not gonna fit. steppin up from 37s to like fo-dee-sebens these things are ****in HUGE.
id like to get some good classic looking styles that keep the grille.
i will try to replicate it exactly but im unsure of exactly how they look/function once cut up cause i havent done my truck up yet. help a brotha out to whoop ass at Nats!!
how can i get some tiny Ck5 stickers?

ive already hacked the rear some. and i may do the same as the front to the bed. not sure though.

LOL ... I do believe that's one of the smaller rigs here, seeing as total lift is what, 1-2"?

Bloody amazing, every time I see that thing I do a double-take and think it's a real ... well, it is real, isn't it? Anyway, I think it's a truck you can get inside, how about that?

What part of Montana?

 

[obijuan]

helena, maybe you heard of it last year it was in the paper and on TV. its the Scale Nationals with like a billion sponsors and lots of fullsize and RC mag coverage.
i believe its in a place called the "rock garden" but not too sure.
and yeah its got a total of a 1/2 inch lift right now, tearin it up!

Man I need to look at things more closely, could have sworn that was fullsize

You're going to have to cut a lot more than you would probably think. Ask me how I know ? (everytime I go out I have to cut more)

Here is one front taper job that I really like:

Glad to see I am not the only one who missed how big the truck actually is

I can't believe I just wrote a whole response and to this and I just deleted it. I have to look closer next time. LMAO.. I even asked what axles u were runnin cause the diffs were so big. LOL. you take some sick pics of that thing.

How much would one of those cost me to make?

SUBSCRIBED AND A DEFFINATE I'M NOT WORTHY> with my little 42's

What axles are those, the diffs look HUGE. Or am I gonna hear the axle shafts poping all the way to Atlanta?

How bout a detailed build thread on this narrowed front. Few have gotten into detail on the things you may run into. I know for my rig narrowing with be inevitable in the future.

The downsides I can see from this point are obviously relocating the battery farther away from your winch. And not having the hinges for the heavy, high off the ground hood. I'd really like to see someone narrow a clip and still use the hood hinge springs.

Its an R/C truck Notice the giant book in the background

DAMN! you caught me! I shouldn't have answered the phone and changed my post faster. LMAO

That truck is screaming out for a little Fall Guy sticker on the hood. And a helicopter (RC, of course) to have Lee Majors jump into.

 

[pennsylvaniaboy]

i know its an rc model but there is a real one floating around here somewhere....anyone know where?

 

[obijuan]

a crew cab with the same paint? the only one ive seen is the one i was looking at buying. i havnt ever seen a crew like this on Ck5.
