the range rover was always originally a vehicle commonly used in off-road competition but the new range rover hasn't been used like its predecessors so what would a range rover sport look like as a lifted comp rig? well I am gonna make a range rover comp rig using a matchbox range rover sport ![]() Range Rover sport 03 ![]() Range Rover sport 04 ![]() Range Rover sport 02 ![]() Range Rover sport 01 by gustovski, on Flickr |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Should be a fun build! I've turned a few regular cars into off-roaders in the past and looking forward to seeing this one completed! |

put the wheels on her and thought i would show you how i do wheel swaps first get a pin that goes through the axle hole in the wheels (this can be a salvaged axle) ![]() step one by gustovski, on Flickr next push the pin through the wheel from the side you want to be on the outside all the way. ![]() step two by gustovski, on Flickr then push the pin through the axle tube or the original axle slots and trim the axle so only about a quarter inch is coming out the end of the axle tube/slot ![]() step three by gustovski, on Flickr then very care fully place the teeny tiniest amount of glue down the hole of the other wheel and slide onto the pin being careful not to glue the pin the the tube/slot ![]() step four by gustovski, on Flickr |

thanks lots of work put into this one i used a range rover because the classic range rover is very often used to build crazy off roaders in many countries and i wanted to do a modern one one like this would probably not be built irl for a while but in like 10 years or so i think alot of these soft roaders will start to be made into crazy crawlers and dune jumpers |
