Default Re: Freightliner Logger - Built By PaulNZ

Hi all,
time for an update:

Never liked the rear bumper and mudflap pole, although the pole is not too bad, but its still plastic, so I made my own, polished aluminium, what else!
Here in Aus and in NZ we have to run the tail lights and indicators out wide unlike the way that they can run them in the US in the middle so I made a set that are similar to what we see down here.
I am going to have to weigh this thing and see how much all the metal hanging off it has increased the tare........





also made a 6 pin connector for the trailer wiring, used the old bumper mounts for this, worked out perfect! its funny because I had the dremel fired up ready to cut the mounts of the cross-member then I had a thought......... timing is everything


Tail Lights on the inside, brake lights on the outside and indicators in the middle ........






I will post a bit more about them in my Vendor section if anyone is interested.
Next will be aluminium cross-members, but first I need to finish the trailer and I have a few bits to make for fellow truckers.............
