Guardian CRAWLER: Lifted Trail Truck

Vapid Guardian CRAWLER is a lifted truck for countryside roleplay, trail clubs and rural patrol scenes. The lore-friendly FiveM build starts with the original Guardian and modifies its suspension, wheels and handling for a crawler presentation. It remains a vanilla edit, with the GTA V body providing the foundation for the off-road changes.

The raised suspension gives the truck its stance. Custom rims and tyres are sized around that lift, while a dedicated CRAWLER handling setup accompanies the physical changes. The result is a coordinated off-road build rather than a wheel-size change alone. Its intended settings include mountain routes, backcountry runs and civilian off-road gatherings.

Lift and running gear

• Crawler suspension raises the vehicle.
• Custom CRAWLER handling suits the lifted configuration.
• Bespoke rims and tyres match the off-road setup.
• The original Guardian body keeps its lore-friendly identity.

The chassis remains based on the stock Vapid vehicle. The custom work adds the lift, suspension arrangement and rolling stock on top of that frame. This distinction matters when choosing between a vanilla edit and a model built entirely from scratch: the CRAWLER is the former, with its changes focused on the trail-truck role.

Cabin and exterior finish

The model has high-quality detailing both outside and inside. Its properly finished interior is intended to remain visible during first-person driving and close camera work. The dashboard instruments respond while the vehicle is driven, and the driver animation places hands on the steering wheel.

• Properly configured headlights.
• Correct rear lighting.
• Support for hands-on-wheel animation.
• Working cabin dials.
• Detailed interior with proper fitment.

Those cabin features carry the build beyond its lifted exterior. The driver sees functioning instruments and the steering-wheel animation, while exterior views show the suspension and custom tyre arrangement. The headlamps and rear lamps provide the lighting features for night scenes and roadside roleplay.

Vehicle resource data

• Model YFT size: 1.611 MB
• Texture YTD size: 586 KB
• Mesh triangles / polygons: 75,694
• Mesh vertices: 63,864

The file figures distinguish the model resource from its textures. The model has its own triangle and vertex counts alongside separate model and texture files for the vehicle resource. Together, the model geometry and texture assets form this lifted Guardian variant, complete with its raised suspension, rims and tyres.

Spawn entry

• Vapid Guardian Crawler, lifted vanilla edit: gstguard2.

The resource’s spawn identifier is gstguard2. It can be used through an administration menu, a vehicle shop or the server’s chosen spawning system. The same identifier connects the model to a dealership, garage or job script that loads add-on vehicles.

Framework compatibility

This is a standard add-on vehicle resource. It works with QBCore, ESX and Qbox as well as standalone servers, using the usual add-on installation process. No framework-specific glue code is needed to load the model. A garage or dealership can register it through the same vehicle-resource workflow used for other add-ons.

Its vanilla foundation also preserves its place among the rest of the GTA fleet. A rural sheriff scene, hunting group or civilian off-road club can use the truck without introducing a different real-world vehicle design. The high lift and crawler equipment supply the modified appearance while the original Guardian remains recognisable underneath.

For a trail-focused garage, the distinguishing features are the raised suspension, matched rims and tyres, and custom CRAWLER handling. For a driving view, the working instruments and properly arranged cabin remain part of the package. All of these features are supplied through the add-on model.

Rural patrol scenes can use the same lifted vehicle as civilian trail activity, with the original Vapid body keeping the design consistent with the surrounding GTA vehicles. The off-road changes are concentrated in the suspension, tyres, rims and handling. The cabin remains properly detailed, so moving from an exterior trail scene into the driving seat retains the cabin features of this build.

The resource contains the lifted vanilla-edit variant under the single identifier.
