Truck and trailer is looking good. Nice job on the tool boxes on the flatbed

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

Thanks Dave!

Leveled out the trailer tonight,re polished the front plate, and tore all the boards off... The shelving brackets are thicker then the wood so it won't work the way I hoped. I'll try grinding down some spots so it will this week. My daughter knocked my TX off the shelf it was on and broke the y training switch, lucky not needed right now, but took it apart to make sure no other damage happened.a few times after the radio when turned on would make a weird beep and all lights would flash...

I feel your pain, my kids have the ability to knock over everything no matter how small or out of the way i think it is

Now i have a lot more clearance room for the lowboy as well
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...802_232051.jpg


So now i need input on this..... few options i can go with it
1. Make all 6 turn signals
2. Make outer 2 turn inner 4 brake
3. Make inner 2 turn outer 4 brake
5. Make all 6 brake and move turn signals to the outer 2 on the light bar on the rack mount
6. Make outer 4 turn and inner 2 brake.....
I cant decide now... PLEASE help me i dont have duel leds or all 6 would be brake and turn :D


Also i plan on tying into the trailer portion of the mfu without the MFU trailer harness. but just for the brake lights... the turn will just be spliced into the original rear turn signal wires.... does anyone know which 2 prongs on that portion of the mfu do i want???

Thanks for looking!! :D:D

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

Can't help you with the lighting, but the new rear light bar looks good

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

Hey dabears, nice chop job and rear lights look great. In my opinion I would go with option #2 with turn lights on the outside.

I have the answer to your MFU question...just so happens that yesterday I removed the trailer lighting kit and can tell which wires are for brake lights. The wires are the blue and green wire. When holding the plug and looking at the wires and the connector lock tab is top side and away from you, the first 2wires starting from the left - blue , then green.

Hope this helps, truck looks sweet. One of the best COE on site!

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

the bumper looks great on the truck :D i would go with #2 also on the lights

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

I love the light bar Aaron:D:D It gives your truck some "BAD TO THE BONE" attitude.:eek::eek::eek: Your truck is definitely a show stopper.:);):cool:

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

I like the bumper but not where it is at. I think you need to move the bumper forward closer to the back of the fenders. It looks like it is just hanging out there by its self.

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

Thank you!!

IDK about the best on the site but thank you for the kind words! And THANK you for the help with the mfu plug spots!! Thats going to save me time later trying to figure that out!

Yes it does/will after i get it pushed back a little further.. then it'll be perfect. im thinking #2 is going to be the way i go with it! Thank you again for another awesome part!! Love it!

Thanks Buddy!!! Im liking it too :rolleyes: Just need my stepside visor and johns pipes.... oh and air ride kit, hub caps...... the list is never ending :eek:

I agree 100% was thinking the same last night!! Thank you for being honest with your opinion i like that!!! Im thinking another 1/2" back maybe a little more. :D

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

Ok this is better! Took another 3/4 off the frame. I'm going to have to re work the tear fender mounts as its not going to work well like they are now but no biggie. Let me know how you like this way compared to the other way (not that I can change it now lol)
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...804_000549.jpg

How is this Travis? But I'll make them in black and a better fit?
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...804_000808.jpg

Thanks for looking and for the comments even if you don't like it be honest it helps me out!

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

HUGE improvement. Looks alot better with the extra cut off

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

Nice

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

Yup , looks much better. Travis was right, I guess it was sticking out too much. Now it looks as part of the truck rather than something added on. With each thing you do to this rig it is becoming one of the sharpest looking Coe on site. The next build of the month featuring cab overs, I'm sure the voting will prove it!

One thing I would change though, I noticed the steer tires have a drive tire type tread pattern. That was one of the first things I changed on mine. I found a set on PMD that have a tread design which looks a lot more like steer tires. That's it, the rest is great.

Mario

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

Hey Aaron, I retract my comment bout the front tires. I see you've had a couple different styles of front tires on it. It was a early picture from awhile ago where I saw the tire tread was a drive tire.....all is good ! Lol

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

Thanks buddy! I like it better too, now its what I had pictured in my head

Thank you!

Yea they have changed a few times.the original ones were way to soft so I changed them out, i'm thinking of doing super singles up front like on most heavy haulers. :D

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

I have to agree this is one of the best looking cabovers on the board, and the rear looks alot better the way it is now awsome job.

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 

Looking great Aaron:cool::D!
So when are you starting on your excavator to pull behind it on the low boy?:p:D
