Steve I agree. The height from the ground is perfect though. Can you get stock that is 1/4" wider.

The set looks great together. Better with the smaller gap for sure. :)

Looks real good Steve! The lower stance looks better.

@ russ & brian , It would be lower if it had the lighter front axle

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

well my eyes get buggy after drilling 1000s of holes so I take a brake here and there and try to get some of my stuff finished . I made a stainless steel tool box to hide the pump in . not as pretty as Freddy's but it'll do :p . I think I'm going to put my bigger fuel tanks on though . these just look to small .

thanks for looking

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Smaller tanks are common on the short hauler trucks - or company trucks......but Big tanks would clean up the space - unless you add a step section ........ she's looking better and better each time you post..

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Awesome Steve! I can't wait to see this done!:D

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

DONE :eek::confused: WILL IT EVER BE :p yea I can't wait ether


Izzy , I have 1-1.75 dia that would fit nicely I just need more strapping and I have to wait till I get more tank mtrl. to make 1 more . I think I'll leave the hydro tank smaller though :confused:

And thanks guys :)
