Can you take an underside pic of that steering mod??? in a 1:1 for my truck it would have to use a football field to turn around.. My old COE i used to drive turned on a dime.. course it had a shorter wheel base then the stretched framed globes we build. haha..

Here's the pic of the little cut I did on the knuckle :)

that gives it a little more radious works pretty awesome :)

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

thats pretty nifty thanks!! what does it do to the integrity of the parts? anything? doesnt look like it should affect it too much

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

well as far as I can see, it wouldnt affect anything. If any weight the weight lays over the axel basically where u have that bolt that holds the knuckle in place :) So I figued cutting that much of the knuckle wont have any effect on the integrity. when you look at the knuckle and you but it theres like a little triangle shape support on the top side. dont cut or go passed that triangle and you should be fine :)

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

sweet thats kinda what i thought looking at mine... I think maybe some of our fine aluminum machinists should produce some modified front end parts :) id buy some and wouldnt have to worry about strength

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

haha Agreed!

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

very good idea thanx for info!

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

thannks diesel :) btw, what trailer do you guys think it shall haul? heheh

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

Hmmm that a tough question... so many look great behind these... tarp top belly dump like TC just made, hog hauler, i always think of farm trucks with these.. anything is going to look good behind it!

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

I was thinking something like this would be awesome!

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

i personally think cab overs look so good with flat beds and thats not just because im a flat bedder but the van i think takes away from the cab unless its a 351 wheelbase. or a tank trailer not to many real nice tanks out there

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

Awesome work, great job on the doors.

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
 

thanks ! :) and yea I was thinking about along flatbed too :) with some heavy equipment on it would be pretty awesome :)
