Thank you Joe BTW you could send some of that rain my way every scoop I took yesterday half blew away

Great looking truck. Well done! Love the color and lift axle. I have a suggestion: How about posting pics and info on that wheel drilling fixture you mentioned in the tools section?

Incredible work Steve!!!

How much does she weigh? I'll bet a lot, one thing I have learned in this hobby is heavy is usually good.

thank you Scott , not as heavy as the 9370 dump , w/the steel lift axle and my heavier then average wheels , prob just a tad heavier then a conventional tamiya tractor .

IHBuilder where do you get your rims?? Do you make them?? Where can I get some of them? Your truck is looking great. I like your drop axle, the low profile tires are amazing, where did you find them?
