Re: My globe
 
Thanks for all the kind words guys. Small little update, came up with my own tank brackets since I'm not to fond of the ones tamiya provides. LMK what you think:confused: They started out as 1''x1/4'' aluminum bar stock.

Re: My Globe
 
Thanks spudd:D
Cory, That cab over is an '88 frieghtliner. I heard it has a b-modle cat backed by a 13spd and that both only have 1000 miles and the work was done by ziegler cat, two new rear ends last summer and riding on a nice comfy 280'' wb. I guess he wants 20k for it. If I had the money it would in my drive way hooked to my scrap wagon.:cool: As for my globe, i'm using the rds8000 and hear no grinding. I'll try the trim trick. thanks a ton. BTW was that you on 694 on friday morning?

Re: My Globe
 
Yes sir i get on at rice street i was heading west to plymouth took 1 1/2 hours to get there with that baby snow storm!!! i have the same remote as you and the trims are tricky and find myself always messing with them on my knight hauler . Yeah i got a quik look at it and he just had the trailer before and then i noticed the truck about a week ago it is nice looking accept he has it angled away from the road! i swear it was a pete but you sure have the stats on it. i had a guy named robert on here help me to get mine moving had to reset alot of the options on the remote or reverse them!

The tank mounts I made holding a set of Steve's tanks and Brian's 1/4'' SS straps keeping everything held together.

And fabed up a tail plate to mount Lynn's sweet bezels.

Love those fenders and of course the color. My globe (currently) looks really close to yours. I love these globes and that color rocks out in the sunlight!!! You did a great job with yours! I wish i could get mine finished up

Re: My Globe

Re: My Globe
 
Thanks for the comments guys. Have a small update for ya.
First off I lowered the stance a little bit.
http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...1352763090.jpg
Then rounded up some brass to start the rub rails.

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...1352763310.jpg
Still need to find a place to get them chromed and find some 1.6mm or 2mm nuts and bolts to secure them to the side rails of the trailer. Anybody know where to get small hardware?

dabears 11-13-2012 09:47 PM

Re: My Globe
 
Looking great!!! Lets see a shot of the full truck with the wagon!! I wanna see!!! :)

Re: My Globe
 
Well, a bunch of my pics where deleted I think from moving things around in photobucket.:confused: Here are a few of the the truck in the current build state and a few small updates of the truck and trailer I made before I deployed over seas. Enjoy!

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...1336938970.jpg
Added an SS-Tronixs wireless kit and needed to make room, so I made this shelf for it all to sit on.

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...psb558dc07.jpg
http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps91359cf4.jpg
Added some lights on the trailer and started to mount the fenders. I might redo the fender mounts though, not sure yet:confused:

Re: My Globe
 
Despite the dead photo links, the photos that are still working look awesome. The truck and trailer are gorgeous! I like the trailer a lot. The rub rail is perfect. I also like the lights. What a sharp set-up. I can't tell from the photos, but why are there two motors inside the cab? One for a wet kit, but the other one, opposite it?

petermoblin 07-27-2013 02:12 PM

Re: My Globe
 
Thanks Nate, still a long way to go on it. One motor is for the wet kit and the other is the MFU shaker motor.

Espeefan 07-27-2013 02:14 PM

Re: My Globe
 
Ahh, okay, I was wondering about that. Makes perfect sense. An end dump must be in the near future..... :D

petermoblin 07-27-2013 02:41 PM

Re: My Globe
 
I'm hoping so! I've got my eye on a three in one sheer/brake/roller. Gonna try my hand at a Mac half round end dump.:rolleyes:
