Are you going to fit a mfu in the cab, I’m a long way off yet but I have all the parts, just need to figure out how to cut the cab up and shorten it.

My trailer arrived today, can’t believe how heavy it is, been looking at how to move wheels back, looks pretty simple, but my question is did you lengthen the two shocks at the back of the trailer and what did you use if so ?

1/ The front bumper is the stock Tamiya King Hauler bumper. The headlights are from Garden Trucking The rear bumper is scratch-made from aluminum with lenses cut out of acrylic.

2/ The Dayton look is created with styrene. I glued chopped rectangular pieces onto a styrene disk. The center is large enough to fit a nut driver onto the hub nut.
