Just clicked on one of your pictures to get a better look at the bed you are using. Your photo hosting page locked my computer into a phishing page threatening to "lock" my computer unless I called an 800 number to get a "virus" corrected. Had to hard shutdown to get out of that page. Please check your photo host.

That's strange , i Have been using hosting pics for a year, and I havent got any problems ...

I am sorry for your computer, I hope that you have fix this problem


I can turn the pics in original size , but it's way too big !! tell me if I can help you

[Mustang46555]

No problem, once I got out of that site all has been fine. Just wanted you to know it happened.

Looks like a pretty cool build you have going. I did a King Hauler conversion using a Bruder bed, but it was the larger squared off one, the half round looks really good. What type of lift system are you planning?

Yea your picture host just locked my phone a tablet...hard restart on both fixed it luckily

hi everyone !!!



I'm so sorry for you guys, I'll put the pics in wider size to escape the problem of "hacking"


I have bough some aluminum part from rigid RC (stack and reductor) + winter tires and a carson poison motor








In situation





There's some handmade front light for my truck , they are inspired from the pete378 front lights.











I have also started the details of the doors (interior parts)








If you ahve any question feel free to ask ^^


The next will come soon , see ya !!

Can you tell me more about the planetry box and its gearing / ratio, and would you have a shot of its inside,
Also can you get some pics when you mount it is, is it the same width as a truck frame or does it need up right support brackets ?
