Looking real good for first build dude! Can I make one suggestion , your front axle can be moved forward to give the truck a better stance and look. Every other truck I've seen on this forum with the custom fenders has moved the front axle forward of the leaf spring centerline and still maintain steering clearance.
Try it, you might like it.
And yes, more pics of trailer please

i'm going to use two esc's and i've got two small motors and gear set ups from a/c actuators from a chevy tahoe that are gear perfect to handle the weight and move the door slow enough to look real. after i get the door working off the electronics i'm going to start installing the lights. by then i should have the wrap made for the trailer. i've also got a losi 1/16 mini dirt late model ordered that is going to be in the trailer. Then back to working on the cab. could be a hold on things here soon wife is expecting #4.
