Thanks bro, and honestly I don't remember I've had them forever I know they came with one of my many kits just don't remember which one lol... I believe it may have been from an axial kit..

Sweet looking trailer!

Is it just me or have you switched the rear suspension around?

Are there any springs or just the ones in the shocks?

Yes indeed, the lights & how you mounted them is very nicely done.

Good to see you posting your work on here, when's your Peterbilt thread with all your homegrown ingenuity gonna start?

Very nice update! I like the lights as well. Did you paint the outside, or the inside of the lenses, and what kind of paint did you use for that?

thank you bud i painted the outside, and i mixed the paint myself, i paint real cars, bikes, trucks for a living next to this hobby and tattooing so i do a lot of my own paint mixtures and such.... 1/7 parts ratio... get the color you want and mix it with 7 parts clear to get the translucency, ratio can be more or less depending how translucent you want it and what type of paint you are diluting
