No Snow up in the Sault yet. We had Rick-Probuilder paint the truck-it's currently on it's way home to us via the US postal system. Can't wait to see it, but from the pics Rick sent "She's lookin' SWEEEEEEEEET!

Have fun with your rebuild. How do you like the RC4WD trailer?

Hey Craig,
Ya, I like the new version GRU. So easy to install and clean set up. Also cheaper to purchase than the original GRU like in my truck. Fortunately on this truck we are only doing a 3" stretch so no issues with a super long driveline. Any longer and yes I agree the old unit would be better.
I like the RC4WD trailer. Very solid. Had a few problems at first with one of the support legs , got that working good now. There is a few paint chips which are now hidden under the checker plating and behind the DOT tape so all is good
Next project after Susan's truck is done is to install the wireless light kit I got from SS tronix and figure out how to install the motorized legs kit which is a little different than what RC4WD has mounted on this trailer.
I wish I could afford a loader or excavator for the trailer but 5 grand is a little much.....maybe in the future I'm thinking about getting a panzer tank instead. For a thousand bucks, that's more what I can afford

You have a great start there. Can't wait to see it with the cab. The pics he sends don't do his work justice. You get the WOW effect when you see it in person.I like the touches you done with the trailer, been thinking about getting one myself. Great job.

[Mama Sue]

I can't wait to see it up close and personal.....It's too bad Rick doesn't do full size vehicles as my avalanche would be sitting in his garage...

Hey, look at me!.... I'm posting
This is a work in progress and no rush people I'm now in the planning stage, looking 5, 6 steps forward making sure this is all gonna fit and work and the proper order to do it in..... Sorry, no CAD on my IPad
Too much shiny beautiful parts I don't want to install then mod then install again...etc.
My theory is....planning should take longer than the task and the task shall go well ?...... Ya, I'll let ya know how that works out for me.....lol


Mario

[Goose19]

Mama Sue

[glorydays24]

Looking good Mama Sue. I can tell by the rolling chassis, you and Mario have added some nice details. I really like the rear shocks, and I wonder where the wheels came from... This is going to be one SWEEEEEEEET pete. Can't wait to see more.
