The lights are 5 amber on front side and 5 amber on the back side. Your right, these are not listed on Ric's site. He had them at the Indy show. That's when Susan bought them. See, another good reason why you want to attend the Indy show next August the weekend of the 24th so you can see the latest and greatest goodies. I can't remember how much they were... All the stuff I've purchased in the last year, it's all a blurr Mario |

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
Black Passion build update:
Been making good steady progress lately and things are coming along great. Everytime i think im ready to start installing electronics, i find something else i want to do on the body or chassis. i should be installing and testing the mfu and motor operation in the next day or so. Also , still gotta go to the graphics dude in town and get the logos made! anyway, here she is............. Back when i installed my stacks on King of Bling I had removed about 1 1\2" of the pipes but seeing as I'm a mechanic and just cant throw anything away I kept the little peices and I'm really glad I did! You may be able to see that i used those on the end of the elbows and they go right to the frame rails. It filled the gap between the steps and fuel tank perfectly Also installed some lights on rear of sleeper which will be connected to the reverse lights Also painted the back mounting of the steps from PMD and some cool pete logos in black and chrome instead of the typical red. Thanks for lookin, all comments welcome Mario |

Cant wait for springtime already!!! Thanks for looking. Mario |

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
Thanks for the compliment Buzzy and ya Chris, I cant wait till indy
I feel like I brought a knife to a gun fight last year with just one truck and 3 trailers.... gonna be different this year, 3 trucks ( if I get the Wedico together ) 5 trailers and a Liebherr 574 loader ...... hmmmmm, yup. I have a problem, definitely addicted anyway, going crazy laying around the house the last few days and feeling better today so I got some work done on Black Passion! Nothing exciting, just wiring. As much as I thought it would be a real mess, i am pleasantly surprised that its looking and working good I really liked how my MFU mount worked on my truck so I did the same on this one. No glue or screws required, just a wedge fit. and thanks to the higher sleeper i was able to add a shelf for the SS tronix kit and still have easy battery access. Also high enough it cant be seen through the rear sleeper window. heres the mfu switch box mounting and the chassis wiring. so thats it for today. Just need to make a few more connections, the speaker , put a battery in and test it out tommorow! the done list is getting longer than the to do list on this build ....finally thanks for looking , all comments welcome Mario |

When you bring something like a 990 , that's like bringing a 50 cal . No other ammo required! Glad to hear you plan on attending, can't wait to see how many buckets to fill Susan's 3 axle end dump Thanks Goose for the thumbs up. The headlight placement was tricky but I knew to get the look right they had to be low as possible. I never did take pics as I installed them but they are mounted to the stock grill with 2 mm bolts, nuts on the back side and some thread lock. I was able to wire and install complete on the grill first then mount on cab. Getting these lights straight and perfect is almost impossible. The driver side turned out perfect. The passenger side on the other hand is just a little off and not much I can do. The mould of the plastic is off a bit, it's where the lamp group meets the bracket is not square and has a slight tilt and twist. I'm being fussy though, it's not like the lights are pointing off in all directions and ya really gotta look to notice so I quit filing and shimming and mounted the thing before I screwed something up!

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
From watching the video a couple times I see one problem and here another. That servo should have more travel then that so you might want to check your end point adjustments. I can here the servo chatter when it is in the open pos so that tells me the servo wants to go farther but something is stopping it so I would check to make sure the rod is not binding somewhere. Remember as the rod is pulled back by the servo it is going to go down as well.
