Default Grand Hauler

So along with building a frame up,"Thanks again to Russ at truescale". I'm also upgrading some parts on my grand as well as using it as a test bed prior to drilling the frame on the custom. I bought a set of fifth wheel hitches one for each truck I'm debating which looks the best the hitch mounted to the plate then the plate to the frame, or just the hitch mounted directly to the frame? hopefully these pics will post

Thanks Rene, I wish the had the rears to buy, but I thought they looked cool so I bought to check them out. did some more work mounting the fifth wheel, temporarily while true scale makes me a custom one.

Suspension movement is just a little more over the stock setup. the rear fenders only allow for a small amount of travel before the tire hits the top of the fender though, so I'm not completely sure what I could tell you about the amount of articulation you'll see. the rear setup I did on the build for my custom hauler, has a ton of articulation, but it incorporates a leaf spring for holding the truck up, there's pics in the build thread. I was thinking though the link rear suspension I have has so much articulation, you could use it as a crawling setup

I'm pretty sure I bought those from asiatees.. Its a shame, their actually really nice compared to some other rims I have from them. The camera doesn't do them justice.
