As I learn to use Studio 2.0, here is a link to download the 4x4x4 chassis (no body)with the optional 4 wheel steering.. you can use the chassis and add your own body and functions with this template. Soon ill have the whole model finished under Studio!!  please share your thought on this...

I manage to redo the front end and grill and the style is more aggressive "truck look".. and II also included the rear 3rd row seats.  Still more to come!!

Great job with your continued work on this project. You are making some good improvements, and each iteration has more connection to 8081.

As much as I understand the desire to cover the holes on the liftarms, adding tiles on each section distracts from otherwise simple lines.

Thank you @Thirdwigg thats ,means a lot!!!   I struggle between what I like to see vs what it needs to be and Im starting to get what a true mod is..  Im 47 years old and after going through a 28 year of the "dark ages"  I Just started my creative phase and I have many more ideas that seems endless and i've just started.   Beside tiles they're many other methods to cover holes (panels) but the cost of adding weight and money is an expense to worry about..
