Hey Wuhan Brother! Several days ago, I sent you message about this. I tell you the same thing. Now you believe me?
please be clear ... I am not a factory to make carbon fiber parts.
No one makes a carbon fiber engine cover for the x9. My covers were a special order from the factory. I had to order 5 engine covers. Additionally, I paid for the mold.
I have a few engine covers remaining. If anyone is interested, send me a message.
I will make more modifications to the X9 this week and will be posting soon. On Wednesday, several items are being spray painted and I will install this weekend. There will be more photos soon!
Yes! I want one engine cover for myself, but the factory has minimum order. I think it is easier to find 4 other people that want the engine cover. My other choice is to buy four more x9 for myself
I have not said about the lift blocks because I do not like the result. The body lift blocks were bought in the USA. They are made of a specially reinforced nylon. They are made to lift the Isuzu MU, not the LandWind X9. You can see from these photos that the lift block diameter is too small. I do not want to recommend a modification that is not correct. Right now, I am designing a single piece replacement. The new lift block will be one piece. Also, it will absorb the vibration and reduce the noise between the frame and body. Please be patient ... I will have the photos of the new lift blocks soon
Today, someone asked me about maximum speed with the lifted body and larger tires (265/75R16). This is my top speed and the X9 is very stable. Remember, this is only body lift. The suspension is still the factory Landwind springs, shocks and A-arms. This is 5th gear and 3500 RPMs
Is everyone familiar with the MOLLE system used by the military? It is a system to attach pouches and bags to vests, etc ... this is a photo of the military system.
I think this is a very clever and versatile system. And I wanted to use the same system in my LandWind X9. The rear door is perfect to make this modification.
我觉得这是一个非常聪明和灵活的系统。我想用同样的系统在我的陆风X9。后门是完美的，使这个修改。
First, I replaced the original LandWind knobs with my own design.
首先，我取代了原来的陆风旋钮，用我自己的设计。
Then I installed the MOLLE panel. The new bolts are made from 6061 Aluminum. The panel is also 6061 Aluminum. The panel design was made using a water jet. Then finished with a white powder coat.

I know you are looking for the cheapest way to do your modifications. But the LandWind rubber is not a lift block. It's purpose is to cushion and absorb vibration between the body and the frame. Stacking the rubber material is very soft and will not provide any stabilty. My opinion is that it will not be safe or stable. I would not do it.
If you really want to do a body lift you can use other materials for the block ... aluminum, nylon, etc ... Just make sure that your material can withstand high stress and will not crack or split. The most important thing when modifying your vehicle is to design your parts to be safe and reliable. Consider your safety and the safety of the other drivers on the road. If your modifications fail you risk injuring other cars and people, not only yourself
I also have another problem with using the USA reinforced nylon block on top of the LandWind rubber block. The rubber block is too soft to support the lift block. The difference in height between the lift points varies because the rubber cushion is not designed to support lift blocks.
This is another reason I am designing my own lift blocks. I want a consistent height at each mounting point.
