Different versions of the Sandkind?

[Kampioen]

So I know there's a Sandking XL and a Sandking SWB. What's the difference between these two? I was just checking the countryside and there were SWB's everywhere, but they didn't look much smaller than the XL to me. Ground clearance even seemed bigger than what I remember from the XL.

 

Also, I know of at least 2 versions of the XL; with and without bullbars. Are there any other versions? And which one do you get when you buy it from the web?

[AlienTwo]

Pretty sure the XL has 4 doors and the SWB 2. Both are very modable, that might make up for the different versions you have seen, i.e. with or without the bullbars.

[PG.]

The Sandking XL is a sedan version of the Sandkind SWB

Where can I find a Sandkind? Sounds almost as rare as the Snipe.

[Shake 'N Bake]

Sandking. Theres a 2 door and a 4 door.

God damn it. I realized I typed that wrong, tried to correct it but typed it wrong again.

 

 

Anyway, as far as I know the bull bars aren't one of the customization options.

 

So the only difference between the SWB and the XL is the 4/2 doors? The XL isn't actually bigger?

It's longer to accommodate the extra doors, but it's not taller or wider. I've got an XL and after a wikipedia search, I'm pretty sure the bullbars are a customization option. There are about 5-6 for the front gr

So there's no different versions of the XL? I just watched a youtube video and you're right, the SWB is slightly shorter. Definately gonna go for the XL then.

Sad thing is since 1.13 it's just 2WD...

[Kampioen]

Yeah I know. That was a mistake though so they'll probably fix it at some point.

[AlienTwo]

Here's to hoping. I love my XL and do not want to ditch it.

[hesselgren]

they spawn in diffetent setups. i have a xl with bullbars but without the useless extended front bumper, that is a setup you cant choose in lsc so you have to find it like that if you want one.

Hmm ok. Extended front bumper actually sounds nice. I want this thing to be as big as it can be. Can you still add bullbars when you have the extended front bumpers?

Do you have a pic? I'd love to see what that looks like.

yes

[Kampioen]

Oh wait. Does the bumper extend downwards? I want maximum clearance.

[djdest]

The bars on the front are a custom option from LSC,but if you buy them there it also adds a lower lip on the bottom of the front bumper which catches on stuff when you try to drive over things.

If you find one in free roam with the bars already on the front it doesn't have the extra lip and has better clearance

 

I can post a pic of mine that came with the bars once I'm home if anyone wants to see the difference

really no good picture but here.

[djdest]

Also, the XL is longer and has a bigger turning circle. I've owned both long term and prefer the SWB as it's easier to manoeuvre.

Don't bother with the extra fuel tanks as they reduce the ground clearance a lot

Thanks, I will compare that to mine when I get home.

[Kampioen]

Ah ok I found some pics to illustrate.

 

 

 

 

So if I understand correctly, the first was found with no bullbars, and the second was found with bullbars?

 

What version do you get when you buy it?

[djdest]

Correct. I've never bought one so don't know about that bit

[hesselgren]

yes exactly.

 

when you buy it you get no options at all

 

allso you can find it with rollbars. and i think you can find it with bedcover to.. nice things to get free.

From all the pics on the interwebs, it looks like when you pay for the mods you get the lower-hanging front bumper.

[Kampioen]

yes exactly.

You mean when you buy it you get no bullbars and no extended bumper? Is the extended bumper added when you add bullbars in that case?

 

And by bed cover, do you mean the big extension at the same height as the roof? That's what I want to put on there. Bigger is better in this case.

 

Roll cage, is that inside the car? Is it also an option at LSC?

 

And was AlienTwo right when he said there are different bull bars to choose from?

Bullbar "options". I recall a chrome version and a painted one. I could be wrong... when you buy one, you should post some of that info here. I will as well when I get home tonight, but i'm off by about 7 hours from you so you should be sound asleep at that point.

I should be but that just depends how much fun I'm having.

 

I'll try later. I don't think I'm going to buy it though so it might be a while before I find the right version.

[XJpostman]

I didn't realize you could get the front bars without the extra bumper either! Looks like I do have one more vehicle to search out

I will go through the mods tonight and report out, just for you, CenMan. I may even take pictures if the wife goes to bed early.

 

EDIT: That sounded dirtier than I intended...

Thanks man.

 

My PS3 is currently occupied by my mom who has discovered Netflix. Please only take pics of the Sandking and not of what it's compensating for.
