Gaah! Can't remember how get my pictures to show up, it's getting late and I'm tired! I use Picasaweb for my photos and it does work but not as easily as it should. There is a trick to it but I can't sort it tonight (unless someone can help me!). Have a look at the links below, and I'll try to sort this tomorrow. cheers Peter Right! Got it sorted! The picasaweb links use https which seems to prevent them from showing, so I changed the links to http and it works! Here is the original 1:18th scale diecast truck made by Road Legends and the truck with the body off the chassis. It's a great model in its own right has it has a fully modelled 4x4 system, unlike most diecast models, and a separate chassis! I gave it a 2 inch body lift and fitted SoReal Super Swampers to it. They are 1:24th scale but still look good at 1:18th scale in the absence of any true scale wheels. And here it is with my modified Jeep Wrangler (also on SoReal wheels; this time TS Boggers) ;D Peter

Very cool! I have the same truck but in green and have always thought about throwing a set of those Iroks on it. Seeing yours, I thinks I'm gonna have to. Thanks for posting! Nice Jeep too.

Let me know if you want me to show you how I did mine. It only takes about an hour to do this! Is yours the green one with the rear tray cover or just a pick up? My other one (I have two of these) I lowered with Chevy SSR wheels and a leather interior and tray! But now I have a brass chassis for it and I was gonig to make it into a semi monster type truck...

I've been eying that Ford for my 1/18th collection. Looks like I REALLY need to pick one up.
Looks great on those new tires too.

Mine is just the plain pickup. The green is pretty much along the lines of the typical '50s aqua, but it does have the red rims like yours....not a good color combo. Yeah, I'd be interested in how you did it. Either shoot me a private message or post up a tutorial here and share it with all us guys.
