			The truck drivers at a recent PNWSTE club outing all waited to convoy up the hill & dump out at once. they were testing the operator to see it they could inundate him with material.

			Recently my first sponsor package arrived me.  Here are some pics of it in use. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I needed a metal 5th wheel hitch for pulling the water trailer in RCland, so I got a Hercules metal 5th wheel. Also I thought that the tractor was a little too fast, so I got a Hercules 2 to one gear reduction transfer case to go on the truck. While doing all that, I thought I'd try out some new shoes on the truck. All this is in preparation for the upcoming PNWSTE club gathering on Sunday July 15th. ANYONE in the Pacific Northwest area, that's interested in attending is welcome. The event will be held in Kent Washington from 9am to around 2PM (OR whenever people get tired & go home).  2018-07-06-01-24-11 by Anthony Kalnoski, on Flickr IMG_0493 by Anthony Kalnoski, on Flickr IMG_0497 by Anthony Kalnoski, on Flickr IMG_0516 by Anthony Kalnoski, on Flickr IMG_0498 by Anthony Kalnoski, on Flickr

			Sorry, I boogered the groups name in my original post.  It SUPPOSED to have been PNWSTE, but my fat short, stubby lil fingers somehow forgot to add the "E" to the end of it 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	That build is done. That's the Weyerhaeuser logging truck. I FINALLY got around to doing some much needed upgrades to er. PNWSTE meets are great fun. Even when they are hosted at places other than my backyard. It's always great fun to see other people's equipment, & truck hard at work.  |

			Road construction PNWSTE style! The toe of the slope for a road in RCland needed repaired. PNWSTE came to the rescue to get the job done.

			That was a used truck I bought from a member here. It was already yellow. I added the green paint scheme to er, & a few mods.  Somewhere in this thread is the pics of er, a few pages back.

			My buddies shure were a BIG part of that project! Raph spent a vast portion of that meet loading material with his RC4WD 4200XL, into his side dump & dumping it over that edge. Steven, & Chris were big players in that project too.  I try to keep my vids around 2ish minutes in length.  There are others that helped with it, but I'd have a20-30 minute video.  Rather than a long vieo like that, I prefer to edit em down, & post a few smaller vids.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I know me personally I can't watch a video for more than 3-4 minutes before I have to start skipping forward.  |

			RCland now has 3 grizzlies for the mining operation.  It ALL started with the yellow grizz that has openings of 3/8 inches.  Then the Orange one came along with openings of 1/2 inch, & the John Deer green one rounds it out with openings of 1/4 inches between the grizz bars
