I agree! No more bling! .....especially when the Canadian dollar is lower than has been in a decade!
steves wheels were a must but that's it! I don't mind the stock tanks and I got no problem with the steps so no more bling!
There's room for other upgrades though. Started today when I took the advice from the forum and finally filled the steer tires with BB's.
I bought a container today with 1500 bb figuring that should be plenty... Very surprised when I fit the entire contents into 2 tires and had a little room for more what a difference though, no more popping tires off the bead and each adds some good weight! Each wheel now weighs 12 ounces!
The other upcoming upgrade is a 4:1 GRU I ordered from PMD. Reason being, if I'm going to get Reg to build a pup, the truck better be able to pull it!
Don't worry Reg..... Next winter build

I probably shouldn't admit this but.... I haven't run the excavator since I shut the pit down for the season

Thanks to the new indoor basement friendly material, I can run it and practice....and do I ever need it!

Basement fun is coming to an end, will be outside soon........so I keep telling myself.
I've really enjoyed having the ground rubber to move around and get me through the off season but always found a broom didn't clean things up very well when playtime was done. Turns out a rubber edged dust pan worked the best to gather the rubber back up.
Because of that I added something today you will never see on a 1:1 loader bucket.... A rubber cutting edge!
And a great way to clean up rc style! Still needs some tweaking to get it right but so far so good?
