The tread seems to be fine. I attached two pics of my offroad wheel.

Nice looking project. Not so keen about the independent suspension. Not the best one for offroad use, unless you drive on a desert. Better on would be solid-axle.

Exsample: If left wheel climps over a rock, the right wheel is pushed down. = Better grip for both wheels.

Anyway, yeah I like the level of details and modeling. Keep up the good work!

Tom, thx for the references. They are great. I have to change a few things im my engine
rallydriver, I know that solid rear axle is better, but independent suspension is much more good looking And this is only reason that I made it I like Your tire tread. I think I will change mine Yours is better

[rallydriver]

Yes the suspension looks really sweet and accurate

BTW the tire is Bridgestone Dueler M/T 673 so yuo can search more ref.pics if you are planning to model it

Attached few pics too.

And if you have anything to ask about offroad or something realted I´m happy to help you. But it also seems like you all ready know much about it

Thx for pics I will try to work on it tonight.

Update:

Now, I'm starting with front part with radiator. Radiator will have own fan, not conected to the engine. Holes on left and right side are for headlights.

Top notch work, really excellent. Your tire thread may be better, it's a bit boxy into the depth of creases.

Keep us updated !

are you starting this from scratch or do you have a reference...its looks a little like a ford bronco

[vbl_pl]

I have ref. pisc. But this car is mix of many other cars. Front is probably simmlar to bronoco, because I 'm using pics of USA SUV's and off-roads like Suburban or Blazer. And they have similar chassis solutions.

It looks smooth and very well detailed so far. Keep it goin'!

Thanks to all for motivate comments I try as much as I can with this project

Now, here is little update, wall between engine bay and driver place. I have to think how to keep my vehicle in this "raw" style. I'm thinking about something like MadMax style. Desert vehicle from post-nuclear world.
