Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
That frameless trailer just plain rocks, is that the new 5 stage cylinder or the 4 stage cylinder? I am going to pick my 5 stage cylinder up from Ed down at his show in a little over a week. You have everything so cleanly plumbed looks great.

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
Really like the new look. The electrical lines for the trailer are looking good. I think you could just about stand that trailer up on the rear bumper

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
Got some pieces polished up today, hopefully I can get the rear bumper wired and the grill installed soon. I am going to have to do some machining on the front bumper for it to sit flush with the front fenders. Will have some more updates soon

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
that truck is great. that tarp is slick and good job on the lights. those chrome pieces will add to the beauty also. "must be country wide" or "truck yeah"

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
This is a great build. I really like the transformation. The dump trailer is very nice, but that's not to take away anything from the truck. Both pieces are fine examples of modeling. Thanks for sharing the photos and updates!

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
Awesome, J.D. I really like that rear bumper, the front bumper, and the new grille. Those are some great parts. Nothing like a bunch-o-lights to add realism to a model!

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
That looks really sharp J.d. Just when I think you can't make this truck any cooler, you make it cooler. Are you running two 3mm lights in each lense? Keep up the great work!

Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
Wired up the lights in the front bumper and mounted it tonight.... Also removed the plastic strips from the fuel tanks a couple days ago since they were bugging me. Pretty much complete now, will eventually make under cab and under sleeper lights but that will have to wait until i have the equipment to do so.
Hope all of you have enjoyed the build! Here are some pictures and a video. Once spring gets here I'll be sure to get pictures and video of the truck and trailer outside or maybe we should have a meet. VIDEO:      Thanks for looking!

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
Looks really nice, J.D. I was wondering why the 20 LEDs in the rear bumper, even though you have just 10 lights back there. Did you just want more light, or is it for the brake and signal effects? Man, I'm diggin' that Servonaut system! Did you go with an SMX and M20+ ESC?
Great video too! If I had a truck like that, I'd be pretty proud. Just goes to show how a truck can evolve into a show stopper.
